Creator:: Brandyberry, Steven D.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to determine effects of year and season on diet quality of beef cattle grazing northern Great Basin rangelands from 1990 to 1993. Forage quality was high early in the growing season, then declined as seasons progressed (P<.05). Plant chemical composition was higher early in the growing...

Creator:: Weder, Christoph E.
Abstract:: Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of quality of supplemental alfalfa quality on beef cattle consuming low-quality meadow grass (MG) roughages. Fifteen steers (250 kg) were assigned randomly to one of three treatments: 1) meadow grass (5.2% CP), no supplement (MNS); 2) meadow grass plus high quality alfalfa...

Creator:: Walburger, Kenric J.
Abstract:: The objectives of the experiment were to: 1) determine the relationship between overstory canopy cover and ungulate herbivory on understory production composition and diversity and 2) determine the effects of timber harvest, ungulate herbivory and season of use on botanical composition and nutritional quality of beef cattle diets. Three randomly...

Creator:: Darambazar, Enkhjargal
Abstract:: Two trials were conducted to evaluate changes in the quantity, quality, and moisture of available forage in the pasture, and shrub utilization by cattle during a 30-d late summer grazing period (Trial 1) and the effect of cow age (experience) on grazing distribution and diet composition (Trial 2) in mountain...

Creator:: Damiran, Daalkhaijav
Abstract:: Four studies were conducted on late-summer diet quality and quantity of cattle (Bos taurus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to prior grazing by cattle and elk on mixed-conifer rangelands and on related research techniques. In our first study we assessed a photographic technique to...

Creator:: Suverly, Norman A.
Abstract:: Three studies were conducted to evaluate: 1) rotationally grazed forage for late-summer stockpiling; 2) effects of lactation on self-fed supplement intake; and 3) influence of cow age on hand-fed supplement intake. For the first study, treatments consisted of non grazed, 2X and 3X grazed. Crude protein of forage grazed 3X...

Creator:: Walburger, Kenric
Abstract:: Three studies were conducted to evaluate different grazing systems on mixed conifer rangelands in eastern Oregon, and photo points and aerial photography was used to determine effects of 25 years of cattle grazing on stream channel changes and vegetation responses. The first study was designed to determine if grazing treatment...

Creator:: Averett, Joshua P.
Abstract:: Invasion by non-native plants into natural areas is an important component of global change that threatens biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Mountains are currently among the least invaded ecosystems, however, these biodiversity hotspots are increasingly under threat of exotic plant invasion. Evaluation of plant species distribution patterns in mountain...
