Implications Of Biomechanical Characters Of Subterranean Clover On Feeding By Redlegged Earth Mite And Intake By Sheep, D A. Henry, S K. Baker, T J. Ridsdill-Smith
Implications Of Biomechanical Characters Of Subterranean Clover On Feeding By Redlegged Earth Mite And Intake By Sheep, D A. Henry, S K. Baker, T J. Ridsdill-Smith
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The biomechanical strength of cultivars of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) that were either resistant or susceptible to feeding by redlegged earth mite was measured as the force required to penetrate their leaves with a small, tubular punch. Cotyledons and trifoliate leaves of cultivars resistant to redlegged earth mite had a higher resistance to penetration than cultivars susceptible to redlegged earth mite. Cotyledons needed a higher force to penetrate than trifoliate leaves. The possible implications for intake by ruminants of differences between the cultivars in biomechanical characters are also considered.
High Instantaneous Spring Stocking Rates To Improve Year Round Herbage Utilization In Argentine Dairy Production, M H. Wade, D E. Dalla Valle
High Instantaneous Spring Stocking Rates To Improve Year Round Herbage Utilization In Argentine Dairy Production, M H. Wade, D E. Dalla Valle
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
In much of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina 60% of the year’s pasture production occurs during spring. This trial was carried out to test the minimum area necessary for grazing in the period of maximum pasture growth in the 3 to 4 months of spring, so that in turn the maximum potential area for forage conservation could be estimated. At the two levels of herbage allowance aimed for (achieving 18.1 and 36.6 kgDM/cow/d), herbage intake was 11.1 and 13.4 kgDM/cow/d and milk production 20.9 and 22.3 l/cow/d respectively. While these differences were not significant, the trial demonstrated a potential of 70 …
Effects On Intake Of Supplementing Low-Quality Roughage With Protein-Rich Feeds, J.J. M.H. Ketelaars, G A. Kaasschieter, M Kane
Effects On Intake Of Supplementing Low-Quality Roughage With Protein-Rich Feeds, J.J. M.H. Ketelaars, G A. Kaasschieter, M Kane
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Intake responses of ruminants to supplementation with protein-rich concentrates or legume hays have been related to the ratio of nitrogen (N) content and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of the basal feed. Marginal intake effect of supplements, i.e. change of organic matter intake (OMI) from the basal feed per unit OMI from supplement, decreased on average from 1.7 to 0 and -0.8 g. g-1 at N/OMD of 0.010, 0.016 and > 0.030 g. g-1, respectively. Marginal effect of supplements defined as change of total digestible organic matter intake (DOMI) per g DOMI from supplement was 2.5, 1 and 0.3 g. g-1 for …
The Effect Of Sward Height And Bulk Density On Herbage Intake And Grazing Behaviour Of Dairy Cows, C S. Mayne, D Mcgilloway, A Cushnahan, A S. Laidlaw
The Effect Of Sward Height And Bulk Density On Herbage Intake And Grazing Behaviour Of Dairy Cows, C S. Mayne, D Mcgilloway, A Cushnahan, A S. Laidlaw
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The effects of sward height and bulk density on herbage intake and grazing behaviour of dairy cows during 1 hour grazing periods was investigated. Sward factors had a marked effect on dry matter (DM) intake/bite, which ranged from 0.4 to 1.1 g, and this was reflected in hourly intake rates. Intake/bite was largely influenced by sward height, reflecting increased bite depth in taller swards, with inherent differences between swards at low sward heights largely attributable to differences in bulk density (BD). The results indicate that DM intake rates up to 4.0 kg DM/hour can be achieved in short term grazing …

Bird Friendly Beef: Exploring The Impacts Of Regenerative Forage Production, B. Rigley, J. Gilley, Aem Johnson
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
In the eastern US, managed hayfields and pasturelands represent a significant portion of remaining available grassland bird habitat, hosting several declining species including the eastern meadowlark (Sturnella magna) and the grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum). However, these working landscapes have deteriorated in their ability to support grassland birds in recent decades due to more frequent and early hay cuttings and intensive grazing. Since the conservation of grassland birds is inextricably linked to agricultural systems, for conservation to be effective, land management must aim to benefit both producers and birds. Regenerative agriculture is an emerging approach that incorporates …

Comparison Of Composition And Degradation Characteristics Of Early Bloom Alfalfa With Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum) Forages Harvested At Different Stages Of Maturity, Z Mir, P S. Mir, S N. Acharya, L A. Goonewardene
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The objective of this study was to compare the composition and degradation characteristics of early bloom alfalfa and fenugreek harvested after 9, 15 and 17 wk of growth. Crude protein (CP) content of fenugreek cut at 9, 15 and 17 wk was lower (P<0.05) than that of alfalfa. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and lignin content of fenugreek harvested after 15 and 17 wk were higher (P<0.05) than that of alfalfa. Ash content was lower (P<0.05) in fenugreek than for alfalfa. In vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) of fenugreek cut at 15 and 17 wk was similar to that of alfalfa. Total in vitro gas production of fenugreek cut at the three stages of growth was not significantly different from those observed for alfalfa. Results indicate that chemical composition and IVDMD of fenugreek at all stages of …
Native Texas Ornamental Bunchgrass Performance Under Water Restrictions, C. Shadrock, K. Hays, E. Green, M. Peoples, S. Gutierrez, C. Segars, A. Chandra, J. R. Bow, J. P. Muir
Native Texas Ornamental Bunchgrass Performance Under Water Restrictions, C. Shadrock, K. Hays, E. Green, M. Peoples, S. Gutierrez, C. Segars, A. Chandra, J. R. Bow, J. P. Muir
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Growing human populations and increasing drought conditions compete with ornamental grassland landscapes for freshwater resources. With outdoor use as the largest consumer of municipal water, irrigation restrictions will likely be increasingly implemented, restricting ornamental municipal grasslands. Substituting irrigation-dependent exotic grasses with drought-adapted native bunchgrasses could help mitigate this problem. Greenhouse (GH) trials revealed exotic ornamental bunchgrasses declined faster than natives under progressive water stress, with natives performing best under moderate water with maximum water treatments decreasing aesthetic quality. There was wide variability among accessions, indicating promising genetic diversity from which to select drought resistance for ornamentals. Native grasses performed best …
Comparison Between Geese, Peking Ducks And Mallards In Ability To Digest Common Rye-Grass, H Jeroch, R Timmler, G Guy
Comparison Between Geese, Peking Ducks And Mallards In Ability To Digest Common Rye-Grass, H Jeroch, R Timmler, G Guy
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The aim of this digestibility experiment was to observe the differences between geese, peking ducks and mallards to digest common ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Adult birds were used for the trials. The grass was frozen after harvesting, stored until the experimental period and fed in fresh constitution. The birds were reared in special single cages and had free access to water and grass. Geese have the best adapted digestive tract of all waterfowl species to consume and digest high-fibre feedstuffs. Peking ducks are able to consume a lot of grass and it seems the digestibility values are similar to …

Isoenzymatic Characterization Of Native And Cultivated Forage Legume Species Of Rio Grande Do Sul (Southern Brazil), M T. Schifino-Wittmann, O Lange
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Esterase (EST), malic enzyme (ME) and superoxidodismutase (SOD) patterns were studied in 26 accessions of the Vicia sativa aggregate, including V.sativa, V.angustifolia and V.cordata. ME was monomorphic but for EST and SOD intra and interspecific and also intrapopulation polymorphism was detected. An EST marker band was detected for V.cordata. EST patterns did not allow a clear separation between V.sativa and V.angustifolia but SOD patterns grouped the taxa in general accordance with taxonomic classification. The results agree with previous reports on polymorphism in European populations of the aggregate and show that isozymes can be useful genetic markers for the …

Codariocalyx Gyroides- A New Forage Option For The Humid Tropics, B L. Maass, L H. Franco, G Ramirez, J E. Velásquez
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The Southeast Asian shrub legume, Codariocalyx gyroides is adapted to acid, low-fertility soils with poor drainage. Data from 19 RIEPT (International Network for Evaluation of Tropical Pastures) trial sites conducted in the American humid and subhumid tropics were used to define the range of adaptation of C. gyroides. The results show that C. gyroides performs better under high rainfall conditions of the humid tropics with hardly any dry season, and it responds to soil fertility (Ca, P). Future research needs are identified. The release of a commercial cultivar in Colombia is being prepared.

Dry Matter Production And Nutritive Value Of Wild Alfalfa, C N. Shin
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Alfalfa grows wild in some parts of Korea, but specific information is lacking as to its agronomic characteristics, nutritive value and dry matter production potential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of wild alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) as a forage. Wild alfalfa and Vernal were field sown at Keongsan, Keongbuk in the spring of 1995. Emergence for Vernal was better than for wild alfalfa. It was observed that the flowering date of the wild alfalfa was delayed by 8 days. Regrowth of Vernal was better than that of the wild alfalfa at each harvesting. After …

Role Of Non-Traditional Forages In Livestock Production In India, Bhag Mal, J N. Gupta, J P. Singh
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The paper reports a number of non-traditional forage species which form the life support system for grazing animals in normal conditions as well as scarcity periods like droughts and famines. Such species vary according to climatic and ecological conditions of India. These species play an important role in domestic livestock production as well as providing forage to the game animals. In the arid region the majority of such species are small trees and shrubs; in semi-arid regions majority of such species are shrubs, aquatic weeds and minor millets. In temperate/alpine Himalaya such species range from lichens, ferns, climbers to shrubs …

The Role Of Leguminous Browse Plants In A Cool Mediterranean Enviornment, P A. Lane, R Reid, D Parsons
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
There is considerable scope for improving the productivity and persistence of pasture systems, in the temperate low rainfall zones (< 550 mm annual rainfall) of Australia and New Zealand. Alternative pasture species, including leguminous browse plants, have potential to increase the diversity and stability of these pasture systems. The genus Dorycnium (canary clover), has previously been identified as containing a number of species with desirable forage and soil conservation characteristics. Preliminary investigations have indicated that at least two species, D. rectum and D. hirsutum, produce significant quantities of forage in the year of establishment and are palatable to sheep. It is proposed that these plants may provide a valuable source of forage on land which currently lacks productive and persistent pasture. Forage produced by these plants would be allowed …

The Expression Of Rhizomes In Lotus Corniculatus L., P R. Beuselinck
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Broadleaf birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) is a popular crosspollinated, perennial legume cultivated for pasture, or hay and silage production. It does not cause bloat and can be managed to reseed to maintain stands, but significant losses occur when stands decline from disease. Wild birdsfoot trefoil with underground rhizomes was discovered in Morocco. This paper describes research to: 1) compare the morphology and anatomy of rhizomes with aerial stems, 2) determine if rhizomes could be successfully transferred to domesticated germplasm, and 3) determine the inheritance of rhizomes. Morphological and anatomical differences between rhizomes and aerial shoots of five accessions …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The DM production (DMP), chemical composition, and seed production of black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb.) and the yellow oat cultivars ‘UPF2’ , ‘UPF3’ and ‘UPF7’ (A. byzantina C. Kock.) were evaluated under two management systems: plants cut (60 days after sowing-DAS) and uncut for seed production. Oat genotypes were sown in 1993 and 1994. UPF7 was the least productive. No difference was detected (P > 0.05) in the cell wall composition of the genotypes. High values of CP (22.9%) and IVDMD (77.6%) were determined across all genotypes. In 1994, cutting at 60 DAS affected the seed production of the cultivars. …

Cold Hardiness Variation In Annual Medicago Species At The Seedling Stage, N Yahia, F-Z Fyad-Lameche
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The study was carried out on three annual Medicago species (M. polymorpha, M. aculeata and M. ciliaris) each represented by five populations. Cold tolerance of the accessions was tested using a laboratory chilling test on seedling growth and soluble protein content of acclimated and non-acclimated seedlings. Lots of 3-d-old seedlings were submitted to cold treatment for 48 and 96 hours. For each treatment, response was determined by measuring seedlings’ weight and height, and radicle length for both acclimated and non-acclimated seedling lots. Seedling growth was adversely affected by low temperature, and resistant cultivars had a better rate of …

General And Specific Combining Ability In Forage Maize Aptitude Part 2: Land Races, C G. Lopez, L M. Bertoia, R Burak
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Eight argentine land races of maize (1 to 8) were evaluated in a diallel mating scheme for ear, stover and total digestible dry matter yield. For the average of four environments, the crosses 1x2 and 1x4 do not show significant differences with the best check (Cargill Semiden 5) for total digestible dry matter yield. Using the Gardner and Eberhart diallel analysis only the sum of squares of cultivars for stover digestible dry matter yield was significant, suggesting that additive effects are very important in controlling this trait, while for ear digestible dry matter yield both additive and non-additive effects are …
