Abstract
The Technosystem intensive grazing system, now called TechnoGrazing™, was developed by Rangitikei farmer, Harry Wier, during the past 25 years and is being adopted successfully on New Zealand pastoral farms. The TechnoGrazing concept is a most effective advance in subdivision and grazing management, achieving very intensive and efficient pasture utilisation, with a quantum leap in animal production. It requires only a minimum investment in plant and equipment, a low labour input, and is a sustainable grazing system when practised properly. Pastoral farmers using TechnoGrazing systems in different regions are now achieving greater profits and impressive results, especially for dairy beef and sheep finishing, and several examples are described. Keywords: controlled grazing, intensification, liveweight gains, pasture utilisation, Techno- Grazing
