Background Maize fodder is being used as staple feed for livestock but it lacks protein and essential amino acids; lysine and tryptophan. Intercropping maize with leguminous soybean crop is promising technique under limited land resources of South Korea but it can only give considerable advantages when adequate distance is provided between corn and soybean rows. Main aim of present study was to...

I arrived at UC Davis in October 1979, back in the Stone Ages. I can still remember my first UC Davis Dairy Cattle Day presentation (1980) in 194 Chemistry. I presented data from my Ph.D. research on forage quality at Penn State. In my research project the main forage was corn silage along with about three pounds of long alfalfa hay per cow daily. After my talk, a dairy producer came up to intr...

Corn milling byproducts are expected to increase dramatically in supply. Two primary types of milling processes currently exist, resulting in quite different feed products. The dry milling process produces distillers grains plus solubles, and the wet milling process produces corn gluten feed. These feeds can be marketed as wet feed, or they can be dried and marketed as either dry corn gluten fe...

in order to evaluate the influence of different tillage methods and autumn pea cultivars (arman, hashem, ilc-482) in first cultivation on corn forage yield (variety of single cross-704) in second cultivation, this research has been done. the experiment was conducted as split-plot in rcbd with the replication of 4 in tehran university from karaj in 2012. the main plots included different tillage...

Cereal crops are used throughout the world for livestock feed. When they are managed properly they provide excellent grazing and high-quality silage or hay. It is important to remember that grazing should occur during the vegetative stage and silage or hay harvest should occur during flowering to early seed fill. Corn is one of the few annual crops that will provide quality forage after seed ma...

R7 stage (one seed pod at mature color; 50% of leaves yellow) produced forage that was similar in quality to Tall forage soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars in maturity alfalfa harvested at early bloom. When soybean was groups V, VI, and VII have been developed to supply forage. Our objective was to determine the effect of harvest date and row spacing grown as an intercrop with corn, the...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of concentrations of forages and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on production of lactating dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows were assigned randomly to replicated 4 × 4 Latin squares in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Diets were formulated containing low forage (LF; 41% of diet DM) or high forage (HF; 60% of die...

this experiment was carried out at agricultural research station of gorgan during summer 2006 to study the effects of corn and green gram intercropping on forage yield, and weed biomass. the experimental design was rcbd with twelve treatments and four replications. a local green gram and corn single cross 550 were the crops employed. the experimental treatments consisted of sole corn and sole g...

Intercropping legume with cereal is an extensively applied planting pattern in crop cultivation. However, forage potential and the degradability of harvested mixtures from intercropping system remain unclear. To investigate the feasibility of applying an intercropping system as a forage supply source to ruminants, two consecutive experiments (experiments 1 and 2) involving a field cultivation t...
