Extract

The grazing behaviour of village cattle in the Eastern Province of Zambia (Northern Rhodesia) was studied.

Usually, the cattle graze in the bush during the rains and on the dambos in the dry season. Where most of the upland was cultivated, the cattle were forced to graze in the dambos during the rains contrary to correct land use. The arable land and crop residues are grazed after the harvest in middry season.
