Forage Utilization and Nitrogen Management of Tall Fescue Stockpiled for Winter Grazing
… quality of fall stockpiled tall fescue, and how grazing methods impact weight gains, forage utilization, and forage nutritive value. The first study evaluated the impact of N rate and source on the yield tall fescue stockpiled for winter grazing. In mid-September, seven N sources (ammonium …

The effect of winter grazing and a nitrification inhibitor on nitrous oxide emissions and denitrification in a stony soil
Intensive grazing of forage crops by dairy cows is common practice during the winter months in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. Such intensive grazing on wet soil increases the risk of denitrification and the production of the powerful greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide (N₂O). However, at the …

Yield, Quality, and Botanical Composition of Autumn-Accumulated Grass-Legume Mixtures and Digestibility of Ensiled Autumn-Accumulated Orchardgrass and Alfalfa
… stockpile forage in late summer to extend the grazing season and reduce feeding costs. Three stockpiled grass-legume mixtures were evaluated for winter grazing. In addition, stockpiled forages were ensiled and evaluated as livestock feed. Four accumulation dates and seven harvest dates were …

The feeding ecology and behavior of wigeon (Anas penelope)
… wigeon to maximise their nutrient intake during winter. The reasons for selecting this species were its totally herbivorous diet, its simple digestive physiology and its small body size, all of which should lead to problems in gaining sufficient nutrition during the winter. The daily energy …

Quality and yield of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) as affected by season, legume combinations and nitrogen fertilization
… arundinacea Schreb.) accumulated for fall and winter pasture was influenced by starting dates of accumulation, season of growth, and by the addition of legumes. In 1975 and 1976, 60-day regrowths of tall fescue were evaluated (in vivo) for summer quality when fed alone and in 50:50 grass-legume …

Predator-prey dynamics under the influence of exogenous and endogenous regulation : a data-based modeling study on spring plankton with respect to climate change
… and mixing intensity, and the success of over-wintering phyto- and zooplankton. These factors are often correlated in the field. Unexpectedly, irradiance often dominated algal net growth rather than vertical mixing even in deep Lake Constance. Algal net losses from the euphotic layer to larger …

Lamb performance, behavior, and body temperatures in hardwood silvopasture systems
… lower forage yield. The relationship between grazing system, body temperature, grazing behavior, and animal performance was explored in this study. Black walnut and honeylocust-based silvopasture systems were compared with open pastures in a randomized complete block design (r = 3) over three …

Grazing impacts on sediment production and runoff from single and mixed species grazing
… for the mixed and single species grassland grazing will be examined. Mixed species grazing refers to cattle and sheep grazing concurrently in the same area; while single species grazing refers to cattle grazing alone. Understanding the environmental effects of mixed grazing as compared to a …
