Abstract
The article discusses the principles of grazing and carrying capacity in the livestock industry, particularly in Southern Africa.

Various grazing systems and management strategies are explored, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and adjustment based on factors like rainfall patterns and animal energy requirements. The text also delves into historical developments in grazing trials and the evolution of grazing methods over time. [Extracted from the article]
