Predicting Forage Intake by Grazing Beef Cows
The control of feed intake by ruminants is complex, and developing a cohesive theory of intake control in ruminants continues to be a challenge. Because our understanding of factors that regulate intake by cattle is inadequate, predicting feed intake, even under the best of circumstances, is difficult. In grazing cattle, this difficulty is exacerbated by additional influences that can sway basi...
متن کاملPredicting Forage Intake by Grazing Ruminants
Determination of the amount eaten and characteristics of the diet of grazing ruminants remains one of the most difficult tasks in research. While several lifetimes have been devoted to developing techniques to ‘measure’ intake and diet quality, they are laborious, expensive, and often lack both precision and accuracy. Hence, there has been little effort on the part of producers or consultants t...
متن کاملThe effect of residual feed intake classification on forage intake by grazing beef cows.
Although feed intake and efficiency differences in growing cattle of low and high residual feed intake (RFI) classification have been established, little is known about the difference in grazed forage intake between beef cows of known RFI classification. Two experiments were conducted using Hereford cows for which RFI had been determined as heifers using the GrowSafe 4000E feed intake system, a...
متن کاملIntake and performance of lactating cows grazing diverse forage mixtures.
Twenty multiparous Holstein cows in midlactation grazed pastures of 4 forage mixtures in a 12-wk study repeated during 2 grazing seasons to determine if forage mixture complexity affected intake and productivity of lactating dairy cows. The forage mixtures were 1) orchardgrass plus white clover [2 species (SP)]; 2) orchardgrass, white clover, and chicory (3SP); 3) orchardgrass, tall fescue, per...
متن کاملDetermining Forage Intake of Nursing Calves Grazing Native Sandhills Rangeland
The objective of this study was to determine nursing calf forage intake prior to weaning in the Nebraska Sandhills range. Eight crossbred cow-calf pairs in year one and 12 pairs in year two were selected for each trial. Pairs were randomly assigned to one of two rotation groups, pasture (Graze) or individual fed dry lot pens for each pair (Pen). Pen pairs were fed harvested meadow hay of simila...
