Physiological effects of forb and legume pastures on lactating dairy cows as indicated by blood parameters

Creator:

Marr, Kaylee M.

Abstract:

Use of secondary metabolites in legumes and herbs as forage for dairy cattle is tested through analysis of blood parameters including beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), cholesterol, urea, creatinine, haptoglobin, bilirubin, thiol groups and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). The pasture treatments were grass-based (‘Perun’ festulolium (X Festulolium braunii), ‘Rustler’ tall fescue (Festuca...

Lamb Growth and Seasonal Herbage Production from Simple, Diverse, and Legume Pastures Established in an Agrivoltaic System

Creator:

Andrew, Alyssa C.

Abstract:

Agrivoltaic systems promote dual use of land by combining solar energy and agricultural production. Grazing sheep in these systems is popular but research on intentionally designed pastures to increase production is lacking. This study seeks to compare the herbage growth and lamb production in simple, diverse, and legume pasture mixes...

Milk Production, Pasture Performance, and Environmental Sustainability of Specialized Pastures

Creator:

Wilson, Randi L.

Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of diversification strategy through the inclusion of forb and legume based pastures in the feedbase of dairy cows on annual forage production, botanical composition, spring milk yield, N partitioning and methane emissions from dairy cows in Western Oregon. Using a randomized complete block design, 3...
