The photo shows a group of cattle while grazing weeds grown\non the dykes of fish ponds. The shown practice is a type of biological control\nof unwanted plants in fish ponds in which cattle acquire a part of their daily\nfeed from these plants. In large fish farms, such process is performed based on\ncontracts that normally ensure that no damage to pond dyke could result from\nthe cattle movement and grazing and also specifying the time of the day during\nwhich animals are permitted to stay on the farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, this process takes place during the day time.\nAfterwards, the cattle herd leaves the fish farm and stay the night in a nearby\nplace until the following day to repeat the same practice till the end of the\nagreed-upon period.\n\nUsually, cattle are attended by the herd farmers\nwho are responsible for abiding the agreement. The fish farm while get their\npond dykes reasonably cleared at no cost, the farm still receives an additional\nincome for allowing such practice to occur in a win-win situation.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
