How Well Does Your Irrigation Canal Hold Water?, Robert Hill

All Current Publications

Irrigation canals placed in native soil or lined with earth can have seepage water losses varying from 20 percent to more than 50 percent.

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.
