Effects of Fall Grazing on Grass-Leaf Height

Manske, Llewellyn L.; Manske, Llewellyn L.; NDSU Dickinson Research Extension Center

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 ...

Effects of Dormant Season Grazing on Herbage Production and Plant Growth

Faulkner, Mitch; Sedivec, Kevin; Olson, Jackie; Faulkner, Mitch; Sedivec, Kevin; Olson, Jackie; North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

A 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.

Determining an Optimum Stocking Rate for the Missouri Coteau of North Dakota

Patton, Bob D.; Patton, Bob D.; North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

This study compares the effects of five different grazing intensities on the plant community, livestock performance and economic returns.

Cow and Calf Performance on Pasture-Forage Types during the Fall, mid October to mid November

Manske, Llewellyn L.; Manske, Llewellyn L.; NDSU Dickinson Research Extension Center

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.

Cow and Calf Performance as Affected by Grazing Management

Manske, Llewellyn L.; Manske, Llewellyn L.; NDSU Dickinson Research Extension Center

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 ...

Suppression of Grasshopper Population Numbers with Biologically Effective Grazing Management

Manske, Llewellyn L.; Manske, Llewellyn L.; NDSU Dickinson Research Extension Center

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 ...

Increasing Rhizosphere Fungi and Improving Soil Quality with Biologically Effective Grazing Management

Manske, Llewellyn L.; Caesar-TonThat, TheCan; Manske, Llewellyn L.; Caesar-TonThat, TheCan; NDSU Dickinson Research Extension Center

This 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.

Grazing Systems for the Mixed Grass Prairie of North Dakota.

Kirby, Don; Barker, William T.; Nyren, Paul; Kirby, Don; Barker, William T.; Nyren, Paul; Fifth International Rangeland Congress (Salt Lake City, Utah, July 23-25, 1995)

Results of a comparison study of three different grazing systems: season long, rotational and short term grazing.

Build It and They Will Come...to Admire Your Grazing System. From the Proceedings of The First Interprovincial Range Conference in Western Canada.

Kirby, D. R.; Kirby, D. R.; First Interprovincial Range Conference in Western Canada

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 ...

Effects of Swathed Forage Type on Intake and Total Tract Digestion

Neville, B. W.; Lardy, G. P.; Gilbery, T. C.; Neville, B. W.; Lardy, G. P.; Gilbery, T. C.; NDSU Central Grasslands Research Extension Center

Research results assessing the effects of swathed forage and protein supplementation on dietary intake and digestibility of cows.

Swath Grazing vs Native Range Grazing for Wintering Beef Cows in South-Central North Dakota

Neville, B. W.; Lardy, G. P.; Sedivec, K. K.; Neville, B. W.; Lardy, G. P.; Sedivec, K. K.; NDSU Central Grasslands Research Extension Center

Comparison study of cow performance of swath grazing (using crested wheatgrass, big bluestem, and foxtail millet) and native range grazing.

A Five-Year Study of Fertilization of Extremely Grazed and Moderately Grazed Mixed-Grass Prairie with Slow-Release Phosphorus and Urea

Volk, J. M.; Barker, William T.; Nyren, P.; Volk, J. M.; Barker, William T.; Nyren, P.; NDSU Central Grasslands Research Extension Center

Study showing the response of extremely and moderately grazed mixed-grass prairie vegetation to annual applications of slow release phosphorus and slow release urea.
