Proper Use Of Ammoniated Low-Quality Forages For The Wintering Of Spring-Calving Beef Cow Herds In The Intermountain West, D. R. Zobell
Proper Use Of Ammoniated Low-Quality Forages For The Wintering Of Spring-Calving Beef Cow Herds In The Intermountain West, D. R. Zobell
All Current Publications
Low‐quality forages (LQF) such as cereal straws or post‐ripe hays are often used as economical feed sources for the wintering of beef cow herds. The ammoniation of such forages increases the digestibility and crude protein (CP) enough so that these forages can be used as the basis of beef cow diets, even during late gestation and early lactation if supplemented properly.

Reducing Losses Due To Tall Larkspur Poisoning, Usu Extension
Reducing Losses Due To Tall Larkspur Poisoning, Usu Extension
All Current Publications
Tall larkspur reduces pasture use and can cause death in cattle. In the West, overingestion of tall larkspur causes average death losses of 4-5%, but can exceed 15% on some ranches. In addition, the presence of tall larkspur in some pastures may force ranchers to avoid those pastures during peak forage growth in late spring and early summer.
Helping Dairy Producers Reduce The Scc, Clell Bagley
Helping Dairy Producers Reduce The Scc, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Practicing veterinarians are in an excellent position to help dairy producers recognize and deal with the problem of elevated somatic cell counts (SCC). Yet they are seldom asked to assist. A high SCC is an indication of chronic, subclinical mastitis in the herd and is also an indication of significant economic losses.
