The entire milking herd was grazed in a rotation of pastures which included the experimental grass+legume paddocks, the grass-alone control, other sown paddocks and naturalized, torourco, grasses.
At initial visits of these petting zoos, apparently fresh droppings were collected in the paddocks and pens and occasionally samples of animal drinking water and feed.
More often the remains will be very slight, but most villages would formerly have had farms or cottages occupying what today are often grassy paddocks in gaps along the streets.
Twenty-seven farmers were responsible for managing the 42 separate chickpea paddocks across 32 properties.
In essence, the data demonstrate the use of rotational grazing using four to eight paddocks and fairly long rest periods.
Early in the morning one, two, three, five, seven, 14, 21, and 28 days after treatment, freshly deposited cattle dung was collected from both paddocks.
The sheep were left to fend for themselves in the open paddocks, a system used to this day.
Visitors do not have access to the paddocks and the fences prevent close contact between visitors and animals.
