对于自由放养或放牧的动物，体力活动占其总能量需求的很大一部分，对低生产水平的动物产生相当大的影响。本研究评估了放牧强度（GI）对中国内蒙古草原羊放牧行为和行走距离的影响。 2008 年 7 月，70 只雌性肥尾羊被随机分配到 6 个 GI 地块之一，这些地块根据以下牧草限额 (HA) 等级使用：>12、6-12、4.5-6、3-4.5、1.5-3 和
In free-ranging or grazing animals, physical activity can account for a substantial proportion of their total energy requirement with considerable consequences for animals at low production level. This study evaluated the effect of grazing intensity (GI) on behavior and walking distance of sheep grazing the Inner Mongolian steppe, China. In July 2008, 70 female fat-tailed breed sheep were randomly assigned to one of six GI plots, which were used according to the following herbage allowance (HA) classes: >12, 6-12, 4.5-6, 3-4.5, 1.5-3, and
