68. MINERAL LEVELS IN WINTER FORAGES FOR BEEF CATTLE MINERAL LEVELS IN WINTER forages FOR BEEF CATTLE. A high level of potassium inforages has been shown to be related to a high incidence of this condition. http://www2.ncsu.edu/unity/project/www/ncsu/cals/an_sci/ann_rep94/mhpoo44.html

MINERAL LEVELS IN WINTER FORAGES FOR BEEF CATTLE M.H. Poore Introduction Mineral supplementation is an important and often expensive part of a good integrated manage ment program for beef cattle. Recent research at NCSU and elsewhere has improved the understand ing of mineral function, and the requirements of different ruminant animals. Despite this, supplemen tation recommendations are difficult because little is understood about levels of minerals present in the forages we produce in North Carolina. Many of our ideas about mineral supplementation come from research conducted in the western states. Supple ments that are designed for use in other areas of the country may not be the best for use in North Caro lina because of the great differences in our forages and feeding practices. To improve our mineral rec ommendations, efforts are underway to evaluate minerals levels in different areas of the state. This paper describes a study that evaluated winter forages on North Carolina beef farms in the winter of 1992-1993. Because little is known about how fertilization practices influence mineral levels in forages, samples were taken from well managed farms utilizing either conventional fertilization, or fertilization with poultry litter or municipal sludge. Materials and Methods During the winter of 1992-1993 (October to February), samples of forages were taken from 29 different sites on 16 farms in 12 different counties, primarily in the Piedmont. Fourteen of the samples were of stockpiled fescue, and 15 were of hay. Sixteen of the samples were produced with commer cial fertilizer (8 stockpiled fescue and 8 hay), and 13 were produced with poultry litter or sludge (6 stock piled fescue and 7 hay). The samples were analyzed by a commercial lab for the minerals of major impor tance including molybdenum (with the exception of selenium.) The mineral levels in the forages were compared to the requirements of an above average lactating cow to determine which minerals were most limiting. The level of each mineral in forages produced by the two different systems were com pared using one-way analysis of variance.

Planting diverse forages that improve soil quality by fixing nitrogen or adding organic matter makes good sense, even though poultry producers sometimes debate how much grass or other forage meat birds and layers actually eat, and how much benefit they get from it. Birds are not true ruminants and cannot digest the cellulose in most plants very efficiently (though turkeys and geese are better at it than chickens), but they do get some nutrients.

document.write(''); Contact Us Help Search Canada Site ... FAQ Canada's Forage Industry Forages are any plants consumed by livestock. They include pasture and browse plants, baled hay, silage, alfalfa pellets and cubes, immature cereals, as well as grain residues. As well as being the basis of Canada's large livestock industry, forages are very important in soil conservation - they are used in crop rotation to improve soil structure and add nitrogen to the soil. Most forage species are in the grass ( Graminae ) and legume ( Leguminosae ) families. The widely grown grass species in Canada include timothy, bromegrass and the fescues, while the main legume species include alfalfa and red clover. Alfalfa ( Medicago Sativa ) is considered the queen of forage and is the most widely grown forage legume in Canada. Recognized around the world as premium forage for dairy cattle and horses, in Canada alfalfa is often grown as hay, in combination with grasses such as timothy or brome. It will grow under most conditions and depending on the variety of alfalfa chosen, can be adapted to a host of climatic regions. Forages include both annual and perennial crops. Annual crops such as cereals, peas, and corn are harvested from July to September, usually as silage. Perennial crops of grasses and legumes are normally harvested for four to eight years. These perennial crops are very helpful in soil conservation and improvement. They add more organic matter to the soil than most annual crops, furthermore they provide a permanent ground cover which helps to reduce erosion.

Wheat and Small Grains n nnn Forages, as pasture hay or silage, are the basic resources for the 7 billion dollar livestock industry in Texas. There are 95 million acres of rangeland (native grasses, forbs, and brush), 17 million acres of improved pastureland, 4 million acres of hayland and several million acres of cropland that are grazed or hayed in the state, so 75% of the agricultural land in Texas is in some form of forage production. The rangeland component primarily serves as pasture for beef cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and wildlife. Forages (grasses or legumes) provide grazing for livestock during their growing season and can be harvested, cured, and stored as hay or silage for feeding whenever pasture is not available. Most of the permanent pastures in Texas are provided by semi-tropical (warm season) grasses that grow from April through October. The benefits of forages to society are to serve as the major source of feed nutrients for domestic livestock and wildlife, control soil erosion, improve soil structure and fertility, use for energy source in ethanol production, as a source of meat and milk products via animals, and as a source of hides and wool via animals.
