This chapter explores advances in grazing management. First, grassland dry matter production is described, followed by a section on grass measurement adoption. Grazing infrastructure is then discussed. Next, grass growth prediction is highlighted, as well as grass swards and alternative sward species. A section on grazing management influences on grass quality is also included. Grass breeding applications are covered next, followed by sections on grass variety selection indices, sward persistence, and climate adaptation.
