A study was conducted to track a group of grazing cows by GPS-GPRS technology. GPS devices were placed in the neck of 3 non-gestating and non-lactating Morucha cows (averaged 8 years old).

In semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean basin, sheep and goat herding has been a land management activity for millennia. In the last decades, intensification of grazing has resulted in grazing land degradation.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which was triggered by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, released large amounts of radio-nuclides. Soils in wide areas in eastern Japan were polluted by radioactive contamination.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of year-round-grazing systems and a conventional housing system for Japanese Brown fattening steers by the life cycle assessment (LCA) method.
