Forage and Pasture
|
 |
Daily forage intake requirements are shown for each
production class along with the total herd daily requirement.
|
 |
Results show how well forage production matches livestock
requirements.
|
 |
Results show total seasonal forage production and seasonal
herd requirement based on grazing system Percentage utilization for each grazing system can be changed to match local conditions |
 |
The answer to our producer's question may be to use a rotational grazing system since forage is adequate through the fall season. The winter period is set at 65 days from late December until March 1. Other options can be explored to match specific farm conditions. |
 |
Default values for livestock and forage can be updated to
match local conditions.
|
 |
Default forage requirements are shown as percent of body weight and are based on NRC values. Values in blue can be changed. |
 |
Forage yield distribution can be changed to match local conditions. Values are included for 33 forages and forage mixtures. Spaces are available to add 15 other forages where "blank" is listed under each section. |
