Dry matter yield determines both stocking rate and animal carrying capacity on farms, but to estimate such indicators, accurate yield measures are required. Some common techniques to estimate biomass in pastures are ...

Cool-season annual forages can provide grazing for beef cattle during fall and early winter. Th e objective of this study was to evaluate yield and nutritive value of nine forage combinations seeded in early August into ...

Se evaluó el efecto del picado sobre las características nutricionales y fermentativas de ensilajes elaborados con 3 pastos (kikuyo, ryegrass perenne y alpiste forrajero). Se elaboraron 2 microsilos de cada pasto en bolsas ...

Forage brassicas can potentially be used to extend the grazing season into the fall for beef cattle operations, thereby reducing input costs. Nine cultivars of forage brassicas were seeded on two planting dates, and their ...

Se evaluó las características taxonómicas de 13 cultivares de pasto del género Brachiaria de uso común en Costa Rica; tres cultivares de B. decumbens (Basilisk CIAT 606, Peludo y Basilisk) y diez de B. brizantha (Piatá, ...

Se evaluó el costo de ensilajes elaborados con pastos perennes de piso (kikuyo y estrella africana), de corte (maralfalfa y mombaza) y anuales (avena forrajera, maíz y sorgo) en 31 lecherías de Costa Rica ubicadas en las ...

Se evaluó el contenido macro y micromineral del pasto ryegrass en la zona alta de Cartago, Costa Rica. Los contenidos promedio de Ca (0,68%) y P (0,39%) mostraron una relación mayor a 1,6:1 en épocas semi-seca y transición, ...

Various species and varieties of brassicas were evaluated for their potential to extend the grazing season and provide forage through late-fall and early winter in Colorado. The species and varieties evaluated included: ...

Six forage species/mixtures were interseeded into irrigated grain corn to evaluate their yield and nutritional quality as a means of improving diets for beef cattle grazing cornstalks during the fall. Species evaluated ...
