Hay and Feed Articles
No matter how hay is packaged, if you waste it, you lose money.
Here's some easy ways to reduce waste in feeding
cattle. Be sure to read this article if you
think your hay costs are too high.
Several things should be considered when beginning to plan the nutritional program.
Hay, along with forage, can provide almost all of
the nutrition needs of cattle. The type of forage
you choose can make a big difference to the weight
gain of cattle.
When feeding cattle what matters most is the nutrients
that forage does not provide. Forages often must be supplemented with
energy or protein to meet the nutritional needs of
cattle.
Drought conditions result in poor hay and pasture production and rising feed costs. Often, horse owners are forced to find alternative feed sources to either stretch their limited hay supply, or completely replace it.
Here are some ideas on how to augment your hay
supplies.
Hay Testing and Forage Standards
Understanding Forage Quality for Cattle
Forage quality is defined in various
ways but is often poorly understood. It represents a simple
concept, yet encompasses much complexity. Though important, forage
quality often receives far less consideration than it deserves. This 21 page
document focuses on forage for cattle and cows.
Forage for equines is a different matter and is
addressed elsewhere.
The National Forage Testing Association
The National Forage Testing Association (NFTA) was founded in 1984 as a joint effort of the American Forage and Grassland Council, the National Hay Association and forage testing laboratories in a concentrated effort to improve the accuracy of forage testing and build grower confidence in testing animal feeds.
American Forage and Grassland Council
The American Forage and Grassland Council (AFGC) is an international organization made up of 20 affiliate councils in the United States and Canada with a total individual membership of about 2,500. Our primary objective is to promote the profitable production and sustainable utilization of quality forage and grasslands.
National Hay Association
The National Hay Association, the national trade association for the U.S. hay industry, works daily within the industry, federal agencies, and the Congress itself to create an environment that benefits hay merchants and the people who depend on hay and straw in their commerce. A non-profit organization, NHA's activities are funded entirely through membership dues. NHA proudly represents hay producers, brokers, dealers and consumers of forage products, as well as disciplines and activities of businesses that provide products and services to the hay industry.
"Improving grassland and pasture management in temperate agriculture" (Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science Book 51)
Kindle Edition
The shift to more intensive livestock systems has put more pressure on grasslands used for pasture. At the same time, there is a greater understanding of the role of grasslands in delivering a range of ecosystems services. This volume reviews the range of research on more sustainable use of grasslands to
optimize livestock nutrition whilst protecting biodiversity and delivering a range of broader environmental benefits.
