For more fortified options, ReproMaxx products provide high vitamin and mineral fortification to support reproductive success.Step 6. ...
It turns waste crop straw into high-quality feed, supporting efficient, eco-friendly and profitable livestock and forage production. Ideal for farms, breeding bases and straw processing ...
Calving Season Few times in the beef production year carry as much promise, pressure, and long-term consequence as calving season. ...
This is particularly true for silage, a preserved forage made from energy-rich crops such as corn, alfalfa, sorghum, or grass that undergo fermentation under anaerobic conditions. ...
Dairy farm consultants and equipment suppliers weigh in on the benefits of properly packed bags, as well as feed management tips to obtain the highest nutrient density feed to promote herd health and production. Silage is critical to dairy farm operations. Compared to hay production, silage increases the potential yield of nutrients from available land, ...
Feed efficiency improvement in farms is a global challenge because: Feed efficiency is important for farmer’s profitability Available surface for agriculture and feed/forage production is decreasing Human population and food demand are increasing in quantity and quality (animal proteins) Feed costs are increasing (direct and inputs) In the future ...
She says that with increased feed costs, many producers will be looking to get increased production from forage and that unless shortfalls in trace element supply from grazed grass are addressed it is likely that animals will fail to grow at the optimum rate. ...
Not only are poisons inhumane, but they also don’t work because grackles forage in large flocks. Recommended Products for Grackle Control Fortunately, there are solutions for grackle control that are humane yet extremely effective. To reduce grackles, try some of these products, all of which are designed to create a threatening area for ...

This study aims to evaluate the possibility of using reclaimed municipal wastewater for agricultural purpose. We assessed the validity of municipal wastewater treatment, analyzing its chemical characteristics before and after the biological stabilization by pond treatment (WSP). The reclaimed municipal treated wastewater (TWW) was used to irrigate Cenchrus ciliaris. Experiments were carried ...
The greatest benefit from buying the VR2040, Breitkreutz says, is it has allowed them to increase productivity by an estimated 30 percent compared to a 28-foot rake from a competitive brand. ...

Despite high volumes of manure production in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, there are still areas of forage production that are nutrient deficient because manures have traditionally been applied to higher-value row crops. This study was conducted to compare the effects of poultry litter and inorganic fertilizers on soil fertility and ...
The Information et Suivi Objectif des Prairies (ISOP; Grassland Information and Objective Survey) application was developed to estimate and map the real-time status of grass growth and forage production in the 200 forage regions of France, to help decision makers anticipate forage availability in case of severe deficits. ...
Managing forages as living mulches during row crop production requires suppressing the forages to produce economical crop yields. ...
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), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), ...
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. ...
Ploidy level was determined by flow cytometry. Forage yield, flowering date, mortality, growth habit, and leafiness were determined at two locations in Utah. ...
The ability to predict when a cool-season forage grass cultivar will begin inflorescence emergence under different ecogeographical conditions would allow plant breeders, agronomists, and grass-seed marketers to better position that cultivar into a forage production system. ...
In climates where cool seasons can produce a forage crop, annual grasses and forbs can be used on dairies to recycle nutrients back to the animals and to phytoremediate soils high in P or N. ...
The use of complex mixtures (mixtures of more than three species) may increase yield of pastures; however, we know little about how grazing management affects the productivity of mixtures. A grazing experiment was performed during 2005 and 2006 near State College, PA, to compare mixtures of grasses, legumes, and chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) for their botanical composition, ...
