Add to ORKGIn many semi-arid savanna areas of southern Africa extensive beef ranching is the main form of land use. Cattle prefer to graze rather than to browse and the woody component of the vegetation is therefore normally underutilized. Beef ranching will remain important but it is suggested that the use of domesticated browsers such as goats and eland in conjunction with cattle would achieve better overall utilization of the vegetation and prevent bush encroachment. Increased meat production would also be expected. However, not enough is known about the effects on the vegetation of stocking with both browsing and grazing animals to allow for the definition of clear management policies. Further information is needed about the woody plant standing c...
