Evaluating pollinator populations and lamb productivity from simple, diverse, and legume pastures in a dual use pasture system

Creator:

Caudillo, Mia C.

Abstract:

Dual use pasture systems, sometimes referred to as dual purpose pasture systems, take advantage of the land being used to maximize multiple outputs from a single area. Developing a system to support both production of grazing livestock as well as pollinator health is of increasing importance in pasture-based farming systems....

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...
