Ruminant Animal Feed Pellet Production In this part, let’s talk about the nutritional control of ruminant animal feed production, along with the nutritional value, application status and prospects of soybean husk in the field of feed processing. Straw and dry forage are the main coarse fodder for ruminants or herbivores, especially in winter. Straw and ...
Cool-season grass and legume pastures (CS-Only) were compared to integrated big bluestem and cool-season grass and legume pastures (CS-BBS) and integrated switchgrass and cool-season grass and legume pastures (CS-SG). The seasonal dynamics of forage dry matter offered, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were used to ...
The objective of this study was to determine the genetic parameters influencing forage yield for nine populations selected from the USDA National Plant Germplasm System alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) core collection that possessed high-yield potential and differing fall dormancy response. Forage dry matter yields of 36 diallel hybrids, their 9 ...
Forages with increased total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) concentrations improve the N-use efficiency of dairy cows. This study determined the effect of time of cutting (0700 vs. 1500 h), stage of development (heading and anthesis), and N fertilization (30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 kg N ha–1 as NH4NO3) on the fermentable carbohydrate concentration of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) ...
Stapf & Hubb] were grown in a P-impacted Immokalee fine sand (Mehlich-1 P 30 mg P kg–1) to evaluate increasing N levels on dry matter yield (DMY), forage P concentration, P removal, and P dynamics in the soil profile. ...
Pers.] can increase season-long forage production and land use efficiency. However, previous research has shown that competition from the bermudagrass sod can significantly reduce autumn forage production from cereal rye. Our objective was to determine if the application of a preplant herbicide to a bermudagrass sod before interseeding cereal rye influenced ...
A 3-yr (2005–2007) field experiment was conducted on a Gray Luvisol (Typic Cryoboralf) loam near Star City, SK, Canada, to determine the influence of single and combined annual applications of N, P, and S fertilizers on timothy (Phleum pratense L.) forage dry matter yield (DMY), quality [concentration of crude protein (CP), nitrate N, acid detergent fiber (ADF), ...
Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) increase alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) yield, but little information is available on how forage nutritive value is affected by P and K fertilization. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of long-term P and K fertilization on alfalfa yield–forage nutritive value relationships. ...
Methods previously used to measure recoveries of dry matter (DM) from forages following natural or simulated rainfall often have relied on simple gravimetric techniques, which yielded inconclusive estimates of DM recovery. Our objective was to evaluate insoluble cell-wall constituents as internal markers for estimating recoveries of DM from alfalfa (Medicago ...
Increasing the LPD from 0.5 to 2.0x did not effect forage dry matter (DM) but it increased the proportion of legume in the forage DM from 39 to 63%, protein concentration from 119 to 132 g kg–1, and acid detergent lignin (ADL) from 36 to 42 g kg–1 while it decreased neutral detergent fiber (NDF) from 465 to 422 g kg–1. ...
