Abstract:: Ruminal microorganisms require nitrogen and energy for microbial crude protein (MCP) synthesis. High-quality grass provides an excess of readily available proteins relative to available carbohydrates which reduces the conversion efficiency of grass protein to MCP. Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are the primary source of readily available energy. Objectives of trial 1...

Abstract:: The Warm Springs Reservation is located in central Oregon. Livestock production consists of beef (commercial with an Angus, Horned Hereford base) and roping (Corriente and Longhorn) cattle and horses that forage most of the year on the open range within reservation boundaries. Forage consists of annual and perennial grasses and...

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...

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:: Clark, Abe A.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of forest fuels reduction on the diet quality, botanical composition, relative preference, and foraging efficiency of beef cattle grazing at different stocking rates. A split plot factorial design was used, with the whole plots (3 ha) being fuel reduced or no treatment...
