Nitrogen Utilization in Ruminants Consuming High Quality Fresh Forages
… (CP) and dry matter (DM) composition of fresh forages of different species and maturities, and to determine the effect of supplementation on forage CP and OM digestion by steers. Experiment 1, a randomized complete block (RCB) design, utilized four forages (alfalfa, bromegrass, and …

Effect of Grazing Pressure on Cattle Grazing Cool Season Annual Forages
<p>Ruminants can use plant fiber to produce food products that provide nourishment to humans. However, a precise understanding of specific plants selected by grazing ruminants remains elusive. Many long- and short-term factors impact cattle grazing behavior. Ultimately, grazing behavior can affect …

Nutrient composition of ensiled alfalfa and corn forages grown in Virginia
… application increased P concentration of these forages. Over 90% of all corn silage would not have met the Ca requirements of dairy cows, however, 97% of the alfalfa silage was excessive in Ca concentration for dairy cows and could have served as a Ca supplement to the diet. Nitrogen:S ratio …

Role of microbial diversity in controlling greenhouse gas emissions from conserved forages
Forages are plant materials utilized by grazing livestock. Forages are preserved to provide year-round availability of nutritious feed for livestock and typically conserved as hay (20% moisture content) or silage/haylage/baleage (40-70% moisture content). Silage undergoes natural fermentation …

Estimation of indigestible neutral detergent fiber in forages from cell wall components
… the estimation of iNDF across selected groups of forages. One hundred and two milled grain and forage samples were received from Afgri (Pty) Ltd, including oats, sorghum, lucerne, ryegrass and Eragrostis curvula hay. Samples were analysed in duplicate for various chemical components as well as …

Development of Lure Forages for Minimizing Winter Depredation By Deer in South Dakota
… Black Hills; 2) To develop/evaluate feeds (lure forages) for deterring deer from depredating stored feed sources in South Dakota; and 3) To evaluate physiological and nutritional condition of captive deer maintained on lure forages. Growth rates of captive South Dakota deer were documented from …

Digestibility, Nitrogen Balance, and Blood Metabolites in Llama and Alpaca Fed Barley and Barley Alfalfa Forages.
… higher with BA than either the B or P forages. Nitrogen maintenance requirement for Bolivian llamas at 4,267 m was 0.58 compared to 0.75 g crude N/W0.75 for Utah llamas, an increased digestive efficiency and a lower N maintenance requirement at higher altitude.</p>

The role of higher protein forages and home grown protein sources within Northern Ireland dairy production systems
In order to meet the greater nutrient requirements of higher yielding dairy cows, concentrate feed levels have increased, and this has led to an increased demand for quality protein ingredients such as soya bean meal and rapeseed meal. As some protein ingredients, especially soya bean meal (SBM), …

Fiber and nitrogen fractions of forages and by-product feeds determined by in vitro and in situ procedures
… and in vitro and in situ degradability of forages and by-product feeds, and to compare in vitro methods of estimating rumen degradability with the in situ bag technique. Feeds analyzed with number of samples in parentheses included alfalfa as baled hay (23), alfalfa ensiled in conventional …

Spatial Allocation of Forages and Its Impact on Grazing Behavior, Diet Selection and Dry Matter Intake of Beef Steers
… tool for determining dietary preference of forages. Much of the work to date has been conducted with white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Partial preference for white clover over ryegrass has been reported consistently and partial preference for …

Effect of Sulfur Supplementation on in Vitro Cellulose Digestion and on Nutrient Utilization and Nitrogen Metabolism of Lambs Fed Various Forages
… the effects of supplementing three different forages (low quality tall fescue hay, good quality tall fescue hay and tropical star grass hay) containing .26% S, .25% S and .20% S respectively with an isofulfurous quantity of either sodium sulfate or DL methionine.

The effect of stage of maturity on the biological availability of magnesium from wheat and orchardgrass fed to sheep
… to determine the magnesium availability in these forages for lambs. The forages were dried in forced air ovens and ground through a 2.5 cm screen. The nitrogen contents of the forages were not significantly different between forages but decreased quadratically with maturity in wheat (P < .Ol) and …

Effects of supplementing beef cows grazing forages with wheat-based dried distillers’ grains with solubles on animal performance, forage intake & rumen metabolism
… be used as a supplement for beef cows consuming forages with similar or greater effects compared to a commercial pellet and barley grain. DDGS had similar effects on rumen metabolism as the commercial range pellet or barley grain and canola meal, suggesting DDGS can be substituted on a unit basis …

Determination of the Optimal Time in the Lactation Cycle to Start Feeding a Direct-Fed Cellulase/Xylanase Enzyme Mixture to Dairy Cows
… for cows that started receiving enzyme-treated forages right after parturition and lowest when started prepartum. Concentrations of fat, protein, and lactose in milk were similar for all treatments, with yields of protein and fat higher for cows fed enzyme-treated forages. Dry matter intakes and …
