| dc.description.abstract | Silvopasture is a concept in which woody species are intentionally combined with forage crops and livestock in a production system that optimizes the productivity or the economic benefits of the trees and the animals in a sustainable way. A review is presented of silvopasture research relevant to Saskatchewan conditions. In particular, silvopasture principles, as they apply to the co-management of animals with planted or natural forest stands will be explored. Silvopasture practices that are more or less commonly found in Canada include: the use of livestock to control weeds in new plantations; the planting or management of trees and shrubs as livestock windbreaks or for shade; and livestock grazing in natural deciduous, conifer or mixed forests. | en_US |
