Twenty crossbred beef steers and twenty crossbred beef heifers were randomly allotted to two treatments to evaluate the effect of supplementation on animal performance in animals grazing cotton plant residues: (1) 10 steers and 10 heifers were allowed to graze ad libitum in an 8 ha cotton field after harvest, and (2) 10 steers and 10 heifers grazed in a similar field but received 1kg day1 of supplement. Water intake and mineral consumption were measured daily. Cotton plant residues were obtained from an adjacent 10 ha field by collecting 12 representative samples using a 1m2 frame, and separating leaves and …

As Project Assistant, I collaborated with Dr. Sue Ellen Johnson on this brochure. The project was a planning grant for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservation Planning Initiative, to support sustainable grazing practices in the Chicopee River Basin, Massachusetts’ largest watershed.

Effect Of Supplementing Distillers Grain Or Corn On Performance Of Cows Grazing Spring Pasture During The Breeding Season, Tyler A. Melroe, Richard J. Pruitt, George A. Perry, Jeffrey A. Clapper, Heather A. Werner
South Dakota Beef Report, 2006
In a 2 yr study 180 lactating cows (2 to 10 yr old) grazing pastures dominated by smooth bromegrass and Kentucky bluegrass near Brookings, SD received 3 supplemental treatments for 48 d beginning in mid May. Cows received 4.6 lb DM of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), 4.3 lb corn DM, or no supplement daily, starting approximately 14 d prior to the start of the breeding season. Cows were bled weekly for 5 wk beginning 1 wk prior to the beginning of the treatment period. Serum was analyzed for progesterone concentration to determine the onset of cyclicity. While supplemented …
