A simple cutting method for estimating the daily feed intake by grazing livestock is described. Its usefulness in estimating daily variations in the quantity and quality of her bage consumed by rotationally and strip-grazed livestock is discussed. Formulae for the errors expected in applying the method are derived. Some results obtained with the method, and its practical consequences, are reported.
Dandelion is high in Cl and Cu and in the usual cations, but poor in P and S. Consequently, its base-forming capacity is higher than that of grass [spp. not stated]. As an aid to balanced animal nutrition, its presence in a sward is considered to have some value.-- J.F.C. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
