Effects of supplementation on intake, digestion, and performance of beef cattle consuming fertilized, stockpiled bermudagrass forage.
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of increasing supplement protein concentration on performance and forage intake of beef cows and forage utilization of steers consuming stockpiled bermudagrass forage. Bermudagrass pastures were fertilized with 56 kg of N/ha in late August. Grazing was initiated during early November and continued through the end of January each year. Treatmen...
متن کاملCattle performance and production when grazing Bermudagrass at two forage mass levels in the southern Piedmont.
Performance and production of growing cattle (Bos taurus) on Coastal Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] pasture are affected by forage allowance, but possible interactions with fertilizer nutrient source (i.e., inorganic vs. organic) and time have not been well described. We evaluated the effects of 3 nutrient sources with equivalent N rates: 1) inorganic, 2) crimson clover (Trifolium i...
متن کاملForage Quality: Impacts on Cattle Performance and Economics
The value of a feedstuff is a complex function of its nutrient composition (net energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, etc.) chemical-physical characteristics of its fiber (fragility of the cell walls), acceptability (palatability), and associative interactions with other dietary ingredients. In the case of forages, their associative effects on utilization of other dietary ingredients is of great...
متن کاملSelecting a Forage Bermudagrass Variety
Unlike most other agronomic crops, the selection of a bermudagrass cultivar is a long-term commitment. Bermudagrass is a warm-season perennial grass that can persist and withstand the rigors of grazing and hay production for decades. Establishing it, however, is a significant investment that pays off over the long-term. It is important to understand the characteristics of the different cultivar...
