Application of NIRS fecal profiling and geostatistics to predict diet quality of African livestock Awuma, Kosi Semebia (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) and geostatistical techniques were used to predict diet quality of sub-Saharan African (SSA) livestock, and to create cokriged estimated diet quality maps for cattle across a ...
-
Walker, John Withers (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Research was conducted on the effects of rotational grazing (RG) compared to continuous grazing (OS) on the behavior of cattle grazing on rangelands. Different livestock densities in the RG treatments were created by varying ...

Lyone, Robert K.; Machen, Richard V.; Stuth, Jerry W. (AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University. Libraries, )Both animal productivity and ranch profitability can be affected by the nutritional management of grazing beef cattle. Management of beef cattle nutrition should be based on the quantity and quality of forage, as well as ...

Olson, Philip Dougla (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 ...
-
Echavarria-Morales, Sergio (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Forage availability and diet selection by Spanish goats were monitored seasonally from summer 1983 to spring 1984 to determine the influence of selected brush management treatments and range site on botanical composition ...
