(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The effects of grazing systems and climate on rangeland hydrology, soil and vegetation were assessed over a six year period at the Texas Agricultural Research Station, located 56 km southwest of Sonora on the Edwards ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This study was conducted on the Sonora Agricultural Research Station, located on the Edwards Plateau. Study objectives were to: (1) determine the hydrologic response of a range site under very heavy continuous (EXT), high ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The impact of herbivory (cattle) on dynamics of plant parts of individual tillers of little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and brownseed paspalum (Paspalum plicatulum) were studied in a simulated short-duration grazing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)A short-duration grazing system was simulated to evaluate dietary quality and forage intake of steers grazing at four stocking rates. Above normal precipitation in 1981 created non-restrictive herbage allowances at all ...
-
(2001-01-11)Photographs, plant descriptions, and symptoms of poisoning help ranchers identify toxic plants that may be harmful to their livestock in West Texas. There is also information on grazing, livestock management, and toxic ...
-
(2000-12-01)Livestock producers can use their observations of grazing behavior to gauge the amount and quality of forage being consumed. This publication explains how grazing animals eat, when and where they graze, and how forage ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The response of kleingrass standing crop, tissue fluxes and tiller dynamics, and the response of livestock gains and intake to early-season grazing treatments were investigated a t McGregor, Texas. The study evaluated the ...
-
(1996-10-25)Leasing rangeland for a variety of uses can be a viable alternative to operating the enterprise yourself. This publication gives the landowner sensible guidelines for negotiating a lease, and includes discussions on ...
-
(2002-01-04)This publication explains the factors affecting livestock grazing distribution and discusses ways to improve it. It also reports the results of a study that used Global Positioning System collars to pinpoint the movement ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)A group of three experiments were conducted in the Central Llanos of Venezuela to determine physiological reproductive effects of ovaries transplanted to the uterine muscle or parotid muscle, the effect of feeding monensin ...
-
(2001-05-03)This publication explains how stocking rates and grazing management decisions can help a ranch survive a drought. To deal with drought, a rancher must monitor forage supply and demand; use a conservative stocking rate and ...
-
(2000-11-01)Producers who understand the common grazing management mistakes discussed in this publication will be able to analyze their operations, realistically estimate their forage resources, and make adjustments if necessary.
-
(2000-11-01)Drought is a fact of life on most rangelands. This publication offers tips on reducing the risks associated with drought, such as using light to moderate stocking rates, maintaining as much carryover forage as possible, ...
-
(2002-03-04)Both climatic and financial risks can be reduced through proper grazing management. The effects of grazing, the importance of animal numbers, and the principle of rest and graze are detailed here, along with strategies for ...
-
(2002-01-11)Livestock grazing is a tool for managing economic and climatic risk. Overgrazing increases a producer's risk should drought occur or market prices decline. This publication explains the importance of leaving enough forage ...
-
(2002-10-28)Grazing distribution is a major concern to livestock producers. This publication addresses uneven grazing patterns in livestock and recommends ways to overcome such behaviors.
-
(2000-11-01)Toxic plants can cause serious losses to livestock, but with the information in this leaflet producers will know how to manage grazing to minimize the danger of toxic plants. It is important to recognize problems early and ...
-
(2002-01-11)Grazing pressure determines both animal performance and the long-term health of the rangeland. Moderate grazing ensures that rangeland is properly stocked for the amount of forage available. Knowing how to estimate grazing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Uncertain forage production created by variation in climatic conditions and encroachment of undesirable brush species provide much of the business risk facing range livestock producers. This study focused on the evaluation ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)In order to accurately describe animals at pasture, it is necessary to have dynamic, dimensionally precise expressions of the relationships among the variables of animals, forage, land area and time. A dynamic, animal-unit ...
