Season-long Grazing Intensity and Parasite Load in Yearling Steers in the Northern Great Plains
Parasites in young grazing animals can compromise performance due to parasitic gastroenteritis and/or competition for nutrients. Parasite loads are influenced by cattle exposure to plant bases and time spent in pasture. Fecal-oral parasite transmission can increase through time as plant defoliation exposes the base of the plant, where parasites accumulate. Grazing management is an important com...
متن کاملSeeding cool-season grasses into unimproved warm-season pasture in the southern Great Plains of the United States
Limited availability of herbage during the cool season creates a problem of a supply of nutrients for livestock producers throughout the southern Great Plains of the USA and, particularly, on small farms where resource constraints limit possible mitigating strategies. Six coolseason grasses were individually sown into clean-tilled ground, no-till drilled into stubble of Korean lespedeza [Kummer...

متن کاملGrowing season greenhouse gas flux from switchgrass in the northern great plains
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is being evaluated as a bioenergy crop for the northern Great Plains. Field measurements of CO2, CH4, and N2O flux are needed to estimate the net greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of this biofeedstock. The study objective was to determine effects of recommended Nitrogen (N) fertilization (67 kg ha 1 of N applied) and unfertilized switchgrass on growing season soil-a...
متن کاملShort communication Soil response to long-term grazing in the northern Great Plains of North America
Grazing management affects ecosystem function through impacts on soil condition. We investigated the effects of long-term (over 70 years) grazing on soil properties and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission within a moderately grazed native vegetation pasture (MGP), heavily grazed native vegetation pasture (HGP), and a fertilized crested wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex. Link) Schult.) pastur...
