Forage
… as Mark Dion, Barry McGee, and Lyndal Osborne. Forage seeks to inspire a reflective response from viewers, possibly eliciting memories of their own collecting endeavours, the thrill of the find, and how these selected materials embody the energy of their existence. By intervening in …

Strategies to Improve Forage Utilization by Sheep Offered Forage Mixtures
… and novel endophyte-infected tall fescue (NE+) forages were harvested after a killing frost, then mixed to formulate 4 different treatments; alfalfa alone, 67% alfalfa +33% fescue, 33% alfalfa + 67% fescue, or 100% fescue. After 3 months of storage as silage, Dorper ewe lambs (n = 20; mean BW = …

Forage crops for hogs
… rape, rye and corn are the most important forages for hogs and should be contained in every rotation if possible. 2. That corn, shorts and tankage are the best concentrates both for the growing hog and for the breeding herd. 3. That growing hogs should receive a full concentrate ration of …

Forage Production and Quality of Forage Sorghum Intercropped with Sunnhemp at Different Seeding Rates
… Plains region is primarily known for grain and forage crop production for cattle feed. It is important to determine alternative crops that provide optimal nutrition to cattle and are drought and heat tolerant due to the increasing importance to improve crop water use efficiency in crops grown in …

Effects of Replacing Forage Fiber with non-Forage Fiber in Lactating Dairy Cow Diets
… design to evaluate the effect of replacing forage fiber with non-forage fiber source on the performance of the dairy cows. Four diets were formulated to replace corn silage with dried corn distillers grains with solubles (DDG) at 0, 7, 14, and 21 % (DM basis). The control diet contained 40% …

Forage Potential of Seasonal Wetlands
Investigations on aspects of seasonal wetland forage potential were conducted in eastern South Dakota. The quantity and quality of the standing crop of vegetation in 6 seasonal wetland communities were assessed at the end of the growing season in 1983 and in 2 seasonal-wetland-dominated basins and …

Forage Quality of "Matua" Prairie Grass
… was to evaluate the nutritive quality of five forages (Matua, Gala, Smooth bromegrass, Tall fescue and Orchardgrass). The experiment was conducted on a Pembroke silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, mesic mollic Paleudalfs) in south central Kentucky as well as in the greenhouse. Four harvests each were …

Estimating forage yields with simple methods
Forage availability has strong influences on pasture and animal performance. The assessment of herbage yield is an important aim for the management of pastures and animals in systems, concurrently. Four shortcut methods of estimating pasture yield and one method of estimating botanical composition …

Three Overlooked Issues: Water Quality, Forage Quality, and Forage Blends Impacting the Feed Efficiency of Dairy Cows
… grazing corn with different seeding ratios on forage yield, nutrients composition and digestibility. The results showed that monocropping of Vining soybean produced lower DM yield, lower DDM yield, lower NFC yield and lower milk yield (T/ha) compared to intercropping of Vining soybean and BMR …

Plant-Soil Feedback and Perennial Forage Systems
… is critical for sustainable perennial forage systems. I combined a multi-year field trial with a controlled greenhouse PSF experiment to evaluate how harvest frequency and community composition influence native species performance and soil microbiome composition. Field plots, including …

Forage Adaptability Trials for Forage and Seed Production in Bolivia; Effect of 5 Herbicides on 7 Native Utah Forbs
… attempted to find introduced dry season reserve forage grasses that could produce enough biomass to be useful as feed for livestock, and that could also produce enough seed to distribute to farmers. While some of the grasses produced reasonable amounts of biomass, none produced seed in quantities …

Estimating forage mass of tall fescue pastures and dry matter intake and digestibility of fescue forage by beef steers
… to evaluate different methods of estimating forage mass of tall fescue pastures, and dry matter intake and digestibility in beef steers under indoor and grazing conditions. Forage mass was estimated with the herbage cutting method (HCM) and three indirect methods; the pasture capacitance …

Forage Yield Variability on New York Dairy Farms
… footprint by feeding more homegrown forage. As a consequence higher yields will reduce feed imports and enhance nutrient use efficiency. To improve forage production, limitations to production need to be identified. While yield records can provide integral information, whole farm …

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 …

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 …

Effects of Annual and Perennial Forage Systems on Forage Biomass and Quality, Grazing Animal Performance and Enteric Emissions, and System Economics
… were conducted to evaluate annual and perennial forage systems with respect to forage yield and quality, grazing animal performance, rumen fermentation, enteric methane production, and system economics. Forage systems included (1) CDC Austenson barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) + 4010 pea (Pisum …
