Escape protein supplementation of yearling steers grazing smooth brome pastures.
Two grazing trials utilizing individually supplemented yearling steers were conducted to study the effect of supplemental escape protein on steer performance during the active growth periods, spring and fall, of smooth brome (Bromus inermis). Graded levels (0, .11, .23 and .34 kg.head-1.d-1) of an equal-protein-basis mixture of bloodmeal and corn gluten meal were offered daily, replacing corn s...
متن کاملSpatial occupancy patterns and activity of arid rangeland cattle grazing small riparian pastures.
The spatial occupancy patterns and activity of cattle grazing three riparian pastures was investigated in northeastern Oregon using Global Positioning System (GPS) collars logging at 1-sec intervals. Cattle consistently selected plant communities as grazing areas that had forage in sufficient volume to meet their requirements and favored communities as resting areas that were dry and open. Catt...
متن کاملEvaluation of Horn Flies and Internal Parasites with Growing Beef Cattle Grazing Bermudagrass Pastures
The cow-calf production system is the primary beef cattle enterprise in the southeastern United States. A high percentage of calves produced in this region are sold at weaning to stocker operators who carry them through the growing or stockering phase in other sections of the country.

متن کاملForages and Pastures: Grazing and Forage Management
Pastures located on southern Iowa cow/calf farms, from 8 to 125 ha in size, were used to evaluate the effects of microclimate, shade, botanical composition, and other pasture characteristics influencing the temporal/ spatial distribution of cattle within and outside streamside zones of pastures. Cows were Angus and Angus-cross on 4 of the farms, and Mexican Corriente on the remaining farm. Duri...
متن کاملForages and Pastures: Grazing and Forage Management
The objective of this study was to compare summer annuals for fall and winter grazing on irrigated pastures in the Intermountain West. The cool desert areas of this region have short growing seasons (≤120 d) with high daytime temperatures and cool nights resulting in sufficent growing degree days, but impaired production on cool season forages during late summer. Five species were planted in Ca...
