| Abstract | ||
| Many studies indicated a trend towards desertification and the deterioration in grazing areas due to the changes in land tenure and management. To improve the ecosystems of arid and semi-arid pastures, livestock can used to overcome the problem of land degradation. In light of the results obtained, it asserted that Holistic Planned Grazing rotational grazing can boosted rangeland production and stop climate change. Animal density and double the stocking rate both reduce productivity. Too many findings included soil and compost qualities from cattle dung, which addressed the relative impact of rotational grazing on soil and plant or animal biodiversity. Rotary grazing contributes in solving the problem of desertification. When the rotational grazing method applied the amount of biomass, activity of enzymes, and decomposition of fertilizers increased, so the plant productivity will increase. With increasing the density of the green grass, thus the rate of humidity in light of the tough climate in the State of Kuwait will controlled. In the case of rotational grazing, the number of heads of livestock that can be grazing are controlled and managed. Rotary grazing differs from traditional grazing in preserving the soil, increasing plant productivity and storing water. Therefore, attention was oriented to improve rangeland ecosystems in drought areas using livestock for the solution of land degradation problem and avoid the desertification and to review the degradation causes of pastureland, how to treat and manage it in arid and semi-arid regions. | ||
