Whole Document Navigator (Click Here) Top of Document Hay Silage Footnotes Testing Forages for Accurate Ration Formulation C.R. Staples When formulating diets for dairy animals, the chemical analysis of all ingredients must be known. Average chemical analyses for many feedstuffs are published. While these "book values" can be used to build a ration that approximately meets the animal's requirements, it is not recommended. The variability in nutrient concentration among harvests and loads of feedstuffs is so great that the room for error is substantial. The nutrients required to support a certain level of milk production are very detailed and managerial efforts to meet those requirements also must be detailed. Two things must be kept in mind when collecting forage samples for chemical analysis. First, a sample that is representative of the lot of feed delivered or harvested must be obtained. Secondly, the forage must be sampled and analyzed often enough in order to insure that the correct analytical values are being used in ration formulation. Obtaining a representative sample from baled hay or a bunker silo takes time and effort. Special equipment is needed for sampling baled hay. Observe the following guidelines for sampling forages stored as hay or silage. Hay A hay core sampler is usually necessary to collect a cross-section sample from baled hay. These are made to operate with an electric drill or hand brace. Several hay corers are being marketed nationally. A brief description and source for three are:

Grass is especially important, as it is the back bone of every guinea pig's diet. In most cases, the grass your pet eats will be dried (hay) or pelleted (Cavy Cuisine) but fresh grass can be even more valuable, as it also provides vitamin C. Serve your pig some forages today! Foraged foods can add interest to the typical cavy diet and provide vitamin C, minerals and nutrients. Pet owners offering weeds and grasses from their yard, garden, or a nearby field must select food carefully. Identification . Make sure you know what you are offering your pet. Consult the list below for some familiar plants often offered cavies. The list of safe foods is by no means complete and includes some foods that should be offered sparingly or only when young.

Welcome to the Cornell Forage-Livestock Systems Home Page! A text only version of this page is also available. Forage-Livestock Systems at Cornell The centerpiece of New York State agriculture is dairy farming, and the base for this industry is forage crops. Forage-Livestock Systems focus on interdisciplinary basic and applied research on forages and the animals that consume them. Northeast livestock farmers in the 2000's must be able to manage a profitable business that is also sustainable in terms of environmental stewardship. Forage-Livestock Systems utilizing both grasses and legumes for stored feed, as well as for grazing, can have a positive impact on sustainable agriculture in New York. For more detailed information see "Chapter 14. Forages in a Livestock System", by J.H. Cherney and V.G. Allen. 1995. In (R.F. Barnes et al., ed.) FORAGES: Vol. 1. An Introduction to Grassland Agriculture. 5th ed., Iowa State Press. Vision of the Future...... Recently, escalating grain prices provided us a glimpse of the future. As grain surpluses decline, we are faced with the real possibility that sooner or later it will not be feasible for livestock to be a primary consumer of grain crops. Forage crops are one of the few resources that can be converted to food while sustaining and restoring our soil, water and atmosphere. With much of our land resources in the Northeast best suited to growing perennial forage crops, we have the opportunity to produce the needed milk and protein for mankind from livestock, while maintaining a sustainable forage crop based ecosystem.

Edited by Robert F. Barnes, C. Jerry Nelson, Michael Collins, Kenneth J. Moore The sixth edition of Forages, Volume I , highlights plant adaptation and the complexity of forage management by integrating soil, climate, and herbivory factors with production goals. This exceptional sourcebook has been extensively reconfigured to address the needs of today's undergraduate students and provide a foundation for problem solving and decision making in forage management. Sidebars and study questions will aid student review and comprehension. The contributing authors, predominantly forage teachers from across the continental United States, provide broad, national coverage of key species and management practices in a framework of comparative analysis. Improvements over the last edition include: Increased coverage of plant morphology Additional material on ecological and environmental factors Greater emphasis on grassland ecology, pasture management, forage quality, forbs as components of grassland systems Economic interpretations and social constraints to point out practicality An easy-reference full-color compendium of forage species.
