This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although rotational grazing has improved pasture management significantly in recent years, the need continues to exist for beef producers to increase land utilization and maintain a high level of forage production during the entire growing season. Two experiments were conducted primarily focusing on methods which allow producers to improve the number of animal grazing days on their operations by implementing silvopastoral systems and increasing forage quality of pastures by applying legumes and warm season grasses. A silvopastoral system was placed under a two-year rotational grazing experiment to determine whether it would support grazing pressure in a shaded environment. Mature pregnant cows were rotated onto five one hectare pastures four times during the two-year period. It was determined that a silvopasture practice can in fact be productive under grazing pressure if managed correctly. Samples of cool season grasses, warm season grasses, and legumes were collected at similar maturities from multiple years and different locations across the state of Missouri. An in depth analysis was done on the forages to determine changes in nutritive value throughout the growing season. It was determined that wet chemistry analysis is a poor indicator of digestibility in some forage types, and in-vitro digestibility is a better indicator of cell wall digestibility.

This book was released on 2003-04-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two studies investigated methods of decreasing feed costs of cow-calf operations. In the first study, two experiments were conducted to determine the difference in grazed forage intake of beef cows of known residual feed intake (RFI) rank. Low RFI (highly efficient) cows had a 21% lower average numerical forage intake (P = 0.23) than high RFI cows (lowly efficient) during mid to late gestation in Experiment. 1. In Experiment 2, an 11% numerical difference in forage intake (P = 0.12) was observed between low and high RFI cows in late lactation, while in both experiments RFI groups had similar body weight (BW) and body condition score (BCS) change. Further research is necessary to confirm these differences due to low numbers used in this study. A second 2-year study compared performance differences between spring-calving crossbred beef cows wintered on one of three treatments: grass hay only, grass hay with grain supplementation, or non-endophyte infected stockpiled tall fescue (STF) pasture. Cows grazing STF ended the trial with higher BW and BCS than cows fed hay only in both years and cows fed hay with supplement in year 1. Differences in performance did not extend past winter grazing, and calves born had similar birth and weaning weights among treatments. Grazing STF is a viable option for wintering spring-calving beef cows, and because typical grass hay is of lower quality than STF, cows fed hay require supplementation to achieve similar performance to that observed while grazing STF.
