Management of stockpiled forages and optimal use of supplements by beef cattle while consuming low-quality forages

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...

Influence of stocking density on grazing beef cattle performance, diet composition foraging efficiency, and diet quality on a late-spring early-summer native bunchgrass prairie

Creator:: Wyffels, Samuel A.
Abstract:: This study evaluated the influence of cattle stocking density on botanical composition of diet, diet preference, and cattle performance on the Zumwalt Prairie in Northeastern Oregon. In each of two years, 192 cow-calf pairs (549.27 kg, BCS = 4.89) and 48 yearling heifers (383.34 kg, BCS = 5.02) were stratified...

Influence of previous cattle and elk grazing on the subsequent diet quality and nutrient intake rate of cattle, deer, and elk grazing late-summer mixed-conifer rangelands

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...

Effects of forage quality and type of protein supplement on intake and digestibility in beef steers and performance of postpartum beef cows

Creator:: White, Jenny J.
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of forage quality and supplemental undegradable intake protein (UIP) level on intake, digestibility, and performance of beef cattle. In Exp. 1, five ruminally cannulated steers (BW = 456 ± 6 kg) were used in a 6 x 5 incomplete Latin square with...

The effects of timber harvest and herbivory on understory vegetation and composition of beef cattle diets on forested rangelands

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...

Quantities of prostaglandins in whole and extended bovine semen and their potential effect on fertility following insemination

Creator:: Jaeger, John Ralph
Abstract:: Our objectives were to determine 1) the concentration of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in whole and extended bovine semen, 2) if concentrations of prostaglandins in extended bovine semen are correlated to fertility, and 3) if PGF2α administered at the time of artificial insemination would improve conception rate. Concentration of PGF2α tended...

Twenty-five years of grazing research at Meadow Creek in the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range

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...

Distribution and behavior of cattle grazing riparian pastures

Creator:: Wilson, Marie A. (Marie Annette)
Abstract:: One second GPS collars were deployed on cattle in three different pastures at three separate times during the year. In each riparian pasture the vegetative communities and stream bank edge were digitally mapped using low elevation aerial photographs and checked in the field for accuracy. A 5 m buffer zone...

Non-native and native plant species distributions and variability along an elevation gradient in the Wallowa Mountains, Oregon

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...

Daily and alternate day supplementation of urea of biuret to ruminants consuming low-quality forage

Creator:: Currier, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Data is limited evaluating infrequent supplementation of urea or biuret to ruminants consuming low-quality forage (<6% crude protein). Therefore, a series of experiments were designed to compare the effects of daily (D) and alternate day (2D) supplementation of two non-protein nitrogen (NPN) sources (urea or biuret) to ruminants consuming low-quality...
