Due to the decreasing trend of rangelands, many native species are vulnerable and even at risk of extinction. Therefore, seed preservation and propagation of native species of rangelands and recognition of the characteristics of grazing, drought tolerance and their production potential are very beneficial. In this study, the five species of Festuca ovina, Festuca rubra, Br...

Non-destructive biomass estimation of vegetation has been performed via remote sensing as well as physical measurements. An effective method for estimating biomass must have accuracy comparable to the accepted standard of destructive removal. Estimation or measurement of height is commonly employed to create a relationship between height and mass. This study examined several types of ground-bas...

The vegetation cover and rangeland production are the most important factors to determine the proper planning system for effective utilization and management of rangelands. In this research, the effect of climatic factors (temperature and rainfall) were studied on vegetation cover and forage production of four species (Festuca ovina, Bromus tomentellus, Dactylis glomerata and Agropyron trichoph...

to evaluate the vegetative and productive characteristics and forage utilization by livestock at different stages of bromus tomentellus boiss.phonology, this experiment was carried out during five years in kordan rangeland of alborz province rangelands. so starting the grazing season and livestock entering, any remaining amount of forage grazing was harvested until a month intervals, and utiliz...

The University of Minnesota Forage Team is proud to announce the second edition of the Forage Quarterly. The January issues ranges in content from alternative forage systems to acquisition of pasturelands. In addition to the valuable information in this edition, the UMN Forage Team would like to inform you of our upcoming winter meetings. The program was designed to address key forage productio...

crop production in arid and semi arid environments has been affected by drought stress. forage production have important role on animal production in this area. in order to determine the effect of irrigation intervals on the yield and morphological characteristics of forage millet, sorghum and corn, an experiment was conducted in a split plot with a randomized complete block design with four re...

current ruminant feeding systems depend on knowledge of the composition of feeds and the rate and extent of degradation of feed organic matter (om) and crude protein (cp) in the rumen. the effect of storage and preparation of samples on in vitro gas production and fermentation characteristics of two common forage species, namely alfalfa and ryegrass werestudied. samples were prepared as fresh (...
