Linking Cattle, Forage, and Tree Production in Silvopastures
… is the intentional integration of trees with forages and livestock. In Blackstone, Virginia a silvopasture management plan was created in a thinned, timber stand seeded with a cool-season forage mixture. Treatment pastures for this study included an open pasture, a thinned pine silvopasture, a …

Social and ecological dimensions of non-native grass management in working landscapes
… by the dominance of non-native grasses used as cattle forage. Although controlling non-native grasses using herbicide or intensive grazing is sometimes assumed to improve habitat, it is unclear how this control impacts grassland birds or their arthro-pod prey, both taxa of conservation concern. …

Fecal Phosphorus Characteristics of Forage-Fed Beef Cattle
… on fecal P characteristics was studied in forage fed beef steers. Eight Hereford steers were fitted with total fecal collection bags and fed four diets with a low P grass hay and supplemented with increasing amounts of a mineral source of P, dicalcium phosphate. Dietary DM P concentrations …

Assessment of redox markers in cattle
… redox status may have important implications to cattle health and production. Antioxidants and biomarkers of oxidative stress were evaluated in cattle under three phases of management. Each phase stood alone as a treatment model, and managerial aspects during the phase were evaluated as potential …

Improving Feed Efficiency Through Forage Strategies for Increasing Dairy Profitability and Sustainability
… to improving feed efficiency through various forage utilization strategies with or without the inclusion of various supplemented products. The first study evaluated the supplementation of a cobalt-lactate product and its effects on fiber digestibility and milk production parameters when fed to …

Effects of supplement type and forage type on ruminal metabolism and diet digestibility of cattle
… animal production systems still rely heavily on forages (Jung and Allen, 1995). Yet, poor quality forages, including crop residues like corn stover, do not usually meet the animal’s nutrient requirements (NRC, 2000). Corn stover is the fibrous portion of the corn plant left on the field after …
