Item Effects of Fall Grazing on Grass-Leaf Height(North Dakota State University) Manske, Llewellyn L.Summarizes the results of a study conducted from 1958 to 1962 at the Dickinson Research Extension Center by H. Goetz and previously published (1963) as his master's degree thesis. Indicated that fall grazing is detrimental to perennial grasses, greatly reducing the leaf height of the plants the following growing season.Item Effects of Dormant Season Grazing on Herbage Production and Plant Growth(North Dakota State University) Faulkner, Mitch; Sedivec, Kevin; Olson, JackieA study to determine the impacts of winter grazing on herbage production, growth rate of dominant grass species, and changes in plant species composition using various levels and combinations of winter and summer use.Item Determining an Optimum Stocking Rate for the Missouri Coteau of North Dakota(North Dakota State University) Patton, Bob D.This study compares the effects of five different grazing intensities on the plant community, livestock performance and economic returns.Item Cow and Calf Performance on Pasture-Forage Types during the Fall, mid October to mid November(North Dakota State University) Manske, Llewellyn L.Report on research to evaluate fall grazing effects on cow and calf weight gains separately from animal performance during the other portions of the grazing season.Item Cow and Calf Performance as Affected by Grazing Management(North Dakota State University) Manske, Llewellyn L.Different grazing treatments cause changes in the quantity of plant growth and the quality of herbage; this study compares cow and calf accumulated weight gain, rate of weight gain per acre, and rate of weight gain per day on various pasture-forage types of grazing management systems.Item Suppression of Grasshopper Population Numbers with Biologically Effective Grazing Management(North Dakota State University) Manske, Llewellyn L.Research comparing intensity of grasshopper infestations on grasslands with traditional grazing and twice over rotational grazing. Increased vegetation cover from rotational grazing reduces grasshopper numbers as improved grassland habitat is unfavorable for these pests.Item Increasing Rhizosphere Fungi and Improving Soil Quality with Biologically Effective Grazing Management(North Dakota State University) Manske, Llewellyn L.; Caesar-TonThat, TheCanThis report compares the effects of traditional grazing management to twice-over rotation grazing management on livestock performance, herbage biomass, and rhizosphere fungal populations on Northern Plains native rangeland.Item Grazing Systems for the Mixed Grass Prairie of North Dakota.(North Dakota State University) Kirby, Don; Barker, William T.; Nyren, PaulResults of a comparison study of three different grazing systems: season long, rotational and short term grazing.Item Build It and They Will Come...to Admire Your Grazing System. From the Proceedings of The First Interprovincial Range Conference in Western Canada.(North Dakota State University) Kirby, D. R.Discusses North Dakota State University research comparing the effects of two grazing systems (short duration and repeated seasonlong) on herbage production and disappearance, long-term plant community changes and livestock performance and production. Presented as a keynote address at the First Interprovincial Range Conference in Western Canada.Item Effects of Swathed Forage Type on Intake and Total Tract Digestion(North Dakota State University) Neville, B. W.; Lardy, G. P.; Gilbery, T. C.Research results assessing the effects of swathed forage and protein supplementation on dietary intake and digestibility of cows.Item Swath Grazing vs Native Range Grazing for Wintering Beef Cows in South-Central North Dakota(North Dakota State University) Neville, B. W.; Lardy, G. P.; Sedivec, K. K.Comparison study of cow performance of swath grazing (using crested wheatgrass, big bluestem, and foxtail millet) and native range grazing.Item A Five-Year Study of Fertilization of Extremely Grazed and Moderately Grazed Mixed-Grass Prairie with Slow-Release Phosphorus and Urea(North Dakota State University) Volk, J. M.; Barker, William T.; Nyren, P.Study showing the response of extremely and moderately grazed mixed-grass prairie vegetation to annual applications of slow release phosphorus and slow release urea.Item Doing the Math: Calculating a Sustainable Stocking Rate(North Dakota State University) Hancock, AmandaUseful information defining commonly used rangeland terminology (AUM, stocking rate, and carrying capacity) and providing formulas for calculation and practice worksheets.Item Plant Responses to Different Grazing Intensities in the Missouri Coteau of North Dakota(North Dakota State University) Wang, Danjun; Wang, Shiping; Pan, XubinReport assessing the effect that grazing intensity has on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) in the Coteau region of North Dakota; examins seed banks in areas of light grazing intensity and extreme grazing intensity.Item Evaluating Beef Cow Performance: Comparing Crested Wheatgrass/legume, Big Bluestem, and Foxtail Millet in Swath Grazing(North Dakota State University) Neville, B. W.; Lardy, G. P.; Sedivec, K. K.Comparison study of cool-season perennial, warm-season perennial, and warm-season on beef cow performance and economics.
