TextPublication details: 1997. Stonewall, MB : Ducks Unlimited Canada, Institute for Wetland and Waterfowl Research,Description: 28 p. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: One goal of Ducks Unlimited Canada's (DUC) extensive cover management program has been the implementation of managed (rotational) grazing systems. In comparison to traditional season-long grazing, managed systems are designed to improve vegetation carry-over and thereby potentially improve their attractiveness and nest success for waterfowl.Implementation of managed grazing systems for waterfowl benefits has been widespread. Due to an increasing resistance from the farming public to DUC programs that preclude agricultural use, promotion of grazing systems is likely to grow. Evidence of the effectiveness of managed grazing systems in enhancing waterfowl production, both from published and unpublished sources, is conflicting and often based on small sample sizes. Given the ambiguous nature of the evidence, we undertook a unifying examination of existing data using meta-analysis.
