Predator Control in Deer Management: South Texas
Research on predator control in deer management in South Texas is reviewed. Research falls into 2 categories: (1) studies of the scat of predators or cause of death attributed to recently-dead deer carcasses, and (2) predator (all coyote) removal studies. Mountain lions (Felis concolor) and bobcats (F. rufus) do not appear to be important predators in most South Texas deer populations. Coyotes ...
متن کاملPastures and forages for deer growth
Pasture is the primary feed source for NZ deer production with the greatest proportion grazed in situ. The quantity and quality of the pastures available to grazing deer varies markedly as a result of environmental factors and feed planning decisions by deer farmers. The grazing behaviour of deer responds to changes in pasture height and mass and the effect of pasture variables (height, pre -an...
متن کاملNutritive Content of Sheep, Goat, and White- tailed Deer Diets on Rangeland in Texas Excellent Condition
A one-year study was initiated in August, 1975, to examine the nutritive content in diets of four kinds of sympatric ruminants on excellent condition rangeland of the Edwards Plateau in Texas. Sheep, Angora goat, and Spanish goat diets were collected from animals fitted with permanent esophageal cannulae. Nutritive content of white-tailed deer diets was estimated by hand-plucking representative...
متن کاملDaytime declines in rumen–reticulum fill of male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from south Texas
Understanding rumen–reticulum fill dynamics gives us insight into how environmental conditions influence animal behaviors that affect when animals access forage. We examined whether there were daytime declines in rumen–reticulum fill in response to high ambient temperatures in free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann, 1780)) on a diurnal scale. We hypothesized that to ...
متن کاملMineral Concentrations of Cool-Season Pasture Forages in North Florida during the Winter-Spring Grazing Season: I. Macro Minerals
Concentrations of selected macro minerals (Ca, P, Na, K, and Mg) were determined from coolseason annual grass pasture forages over four consecutive late fall-winter-spring grazing seasons (2001-2005). Forage samples were taken from eight experimental pastures used in beef cattle grazing trials. Two, 2-yr experiments were conducted; animal and pasture data were reported previously (Myer and Blou...
