What are your forages worth?

Creator:: Downing, Troy (Troy Woerner), Chamberlain, Anna-Marie, Gamroth, Michael J., Peters, Amy, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Designed to help dairy farmers calculate the costs of homegrown forages and compare them to the costs of purchasing forages. Presents typical per-acre costs of establishing, producing, and harvesting alfalfa or grass for silage to help farmers estimate costs. Explains how to compare forage production costs to alternatives by assigning...

Improving the Forage Species Selection Process through Research and Teaching Projects

Creator:: Randow, Brianna Lyn
Abstract:: Species selection is a complex process that forage producers and land managers face. Accurate tools and educational materials are needed to help make the decision process easier. Crop simulation models are one tool that could be utilized to predict yield and potential financial return of various species. Two crop simulation...

The effect of grazing interval on forage quality and production of meadow foxtail

Creator:: Wenick, Jess J.
Abstract:: For the last fifty years, meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis L.) has been invading native flood meadows throughout the Harney Basin in southeastern Oregon. The expansion of this grass species has been the result of its broad climatic requirements and ability to withstand drought while thriving in saturated soil conditions for...

Early spring forage production for western Oregon pastures

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service, Pirelli, Gene J., Hart, J., Filley, S., Peters, A., Porath, M., Downing, T., Bohle, Mylen G., and Carr, J.
Abstract:: Forage production is of primary importance to Oregon’s livestock enterprises and agricultural economy. The forage is either grazed or conserved. Conserved forage is needed to feed livestock in times of little forage growth—a key cost of livestock production. Extending the grazing season reduces the cost and time involved in feeding...

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...

Manure application rates for forage production [2007]

Creator:: Downing, Troy (Troy Woerner), Sullivan, Dan M., Hart, John, Gamroth, Michael J., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: This publication explains how to estimate the amount of manure to apply for forage production.

Conditioning of northern Great Basin grasses with livestock grazing

Creator:: Aguilera, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Because forage quality of cool season grasses declines to sub-maintenance levels for ruminants late in the growing season in the northern Great Basin, there is a need to elevate protein levels and digestibility of grasses for both wild and domestic ruminants in late summer. Anderson and Scherzinger (1975) proposed using...

Perennial ryegrass nonstructural carbohydrates in dairy cattle nutrition

Creator:: Buyserie, Annette C.
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...

Managing dairy grazing for more milk and profit

Creator:: Downing, Troy (Troy Woerner), Hannaway, David B., Randow, Brianna, Berry, Pete, Yang, Xiumei, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: This publication covers how pasture grows, understanding grazing systems, and forage quality. It also covers advanced tools for managing high-intensity grazing systems, such as the feed wedge (also called pasture wedge or grazing wedge).
