This book was released on 2017 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A three year trial was conducted to evaluate the performance of sorghum x sudangrass [Sorghum bicolor var. bicolor*bicolor var. sudanense (SS)], brown-midrib sorghum x sudangrass (BMR), pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.; (PM)], and pearl millet planted with crabgrass [Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop.; (PMCG)] in a Southeastern forage-finishing beef production system. In a randomized complete block design, 16 pastures (0.81-ha) were assigned to one of four forage treatments and were subdivided for rotational grazing. British-cross beef steers (n = 32; 3 yr average: 429℗ł22 kg) grazed for 70, 63 and 56 days in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Forage DM yield was least (P 0.01) for PMCG at the initiation of the grazing trial, while BMR was greater (P 0.01) than SS at week 6. Higher stocking densities were maintained on SS than PM and PMCG (P

This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management Strategies for Sustainable Cattle Production in Southern Pastures is a practical resource for scientists, students, and stakeholders who want to understand the relationships between soil-plant interactions and pasture management strategies, and the resultant performance of cow-calf and stocker cattle. This book illustrates the importance of matching cattle breed types and plant hardiness zones to optimize cattle production from forages and pastures. It explains the biologic and economic implications of grazing management decisions made to improve sustainability of pastures and cattle production while being compliant with present and future environmental concerns and cattle welfare programs. - Documents the effects of cattle grazing on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints - Discusses strategies to enhance soil fertility, soil health, and nutrient cycling in pastures - Provides information on the use of stocking rates, stocking strategies and grazing systems to optimize cow-calf production of weaned calves and stockers. - Presents innovations in cattle supplementation and watering systems to minimize negative impacts on water and soil health - Includes methods for weed control to maintain pasture condition and ecosystem stability - Describes management strategies to integrate cattle operations with wildlife sustainability

Download or read book Evaluation of Annual and Perennial Forages for Late Fall early Winter Stockpile Grazing of Beef Cattle in Manitoba written by Brittainy Hewitt and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this study was to evaluate the yield and nutritive value of seven annual forage species, five perennial grass and three perennial legume forage species in pure stands and binary grass-legume mixtures, in an ES (early stockpile) and LS system (late stockpile), for their potential usage for stockpile grazing of beef cows. Forage samples were cut in late October 2014 and 2015 (perennial 2015 only) for DM (dry matter) and yield calculations, which were then ground and analyzed using wet chemistry to determine nutritive value. Corn and C+O (Courtenay + Oxley II) TDN (Total Digestible Nutrients) and CP (crude protein) values would meet the nutritional requirements of a dry beef cow (up to 648 kg) in the middle trimester of pregnancy. Corn and C+O on the ES system demonstrated good potential for high yield and adequate nutritive value for extending the grazing season for beef cows in Manitoba.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forages: The Science of Grassland Agriculture, 7th Edition, Volume II will extensively evaluate the current knowledge and information on forage agriculture. Chapters written by leading researchers and authorities in grassland agriculture are aggregated under section themes, each one representing a major topic within grassland science and agriculture. This 7th edition will include two new additional chapters covering all aspects of forage physiology in three separate chapters, instead of one in previous editions. Chapters will be updated throughout to include new information that has developed since the last edition. This new edition of the classic reference serves as a comprehensive supplement to An Introduction to Grassland Agriculture, Volume I.

Download or read book Grass for Dairy Cattle written by Jerome Henry Cherney and published by Cabi. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the current interest in the environmental and economic sustainability of dairy farming, grass forage crops have emerged as a potential solution to some of the nutrient management problems now encountered on intensively managed dairy farms. The expansion and reintegration of grass-based systems into the mainstream of dairying systems will require a major paradigm shift involving economic, social and ecological, as well as biological factors. This book examines the role of grass in milk production in sustainable agricultural ecosystems. It provides a current summary of the role of grass in dairy cattle systems, including the breeding, management, storage, feeding and economics of grass for both lactating and dry dairy cows. Written by leading specialists from Australia, Europe, New Zealand, North and South America, this is an essential reference source for researchers, dairy industry professionals and advanced students of forage and dairy cattle nutrition.
