25
Most expensive nutrient
Protein
26
Cheapest feed ingredient
Water
27
Necessary to maintain a healthy rumen environment and prevent digestive upsets
Fiber (bulk)
28
Primary and most economical source of nutrients for sheep and goat
Pasture, forbs and browse
29
Tend to be in high in energy and protein when it is in a vegetative state
Pasture
30
During early part of grazing season they tend to be higher in protein and energy than other ordinary pasture
Browse (woody plants, vines and brush) Forbs( weeds)
31
Are natural browsers and have the ability to select plants when they are at their most nutritious state.
Goat
32
Is the primary source of nutrients for small ruminant during the winter or non-grazing season Tend to be a moderate source of protein and energy for sheep and goat
Hay
33
Tend to be higher in protein, vitamins and minerals especially calcium than grass hay.
Legume hays Alfalfa Clover Lespedeza
34
Added when forage alone cannot provide the nutrients
Concentrate
35
Have been shown to increase growth weight but should not only be done to the extent that it increase profit
Creep and supplemental feeding of lamb and kid
36
Two types of concentrate feed
Energy and protein
37
Feeding a diet that is high in phosphorus and low in calcium can cause what?
Urinary calculi (kidney stones) in wethers and intact male
38
Proper calcium to phosphorus ratio
2:1
39
May enable the animals to mount greater immune response to parasites
higher level of PROTEIN in the diet
40
Due to its copper content it is not recommended that sheep is be feed with this for sustained periods of time
Fed broiler litter
41
Have an advantage in that animals cannot sort feed ingredients
Pellet rations
42
The most important minerals required by small ruminant
Salt calcium Phosphorus
43
Vitamins that are manufactured in rumen
Vitamin K All B vitamin
44
This are free choice and Should be available to small ruminant at all times
Premix salt, vitamins and minerals
45
It should be feed to ewes and does during Kate gestation and lactation
Pre-choice minerals
46
Required higher level of copper
Goat
47
High level of copper can be toxic to them
Sheep
48
Mature animals consume how many gallons of water per day
Between ¾ to 1 ½ gallons per day
49
Should include a pasture and livestock enterprise budget and should support you long term goals
Short-term goals
50
Grow most efficiently if they are managed to maintain a 2-5 inch heigh, when plants are in the vegetative state
Clover and grass pasture
51
Perennial ryegrass in this phase grow very slowly because they lack leaf area for optimum photosynthesis
Phase 1
52
This phase growth represent minimal forage quantity but excellent forage quality
Phase 1
53
In this phase the plant make the most rapid and efficient growth; their leaf area is great enough to use all the sunlight falling on the area
Phase II
54
In this phase growth represent adequate forage quantity and quality with rapid plant growth
Phase II
55
In this phase pasture growth slows as lower leaves becomes shaded and die. This is the beginning of plant reproduction and slower vegetative growth and forage quality begins to decline rapidly
Phase III
56
content of mature grass plant
High/increase in Lignin Palatability, protein and TDN decrease
57
By knowing grass stages, producers can determine what?
determine maturity Predict quality Improve their management practices and recommendation
58
Involves unelongated tillers that are only producing leaves
Vegetative stage
59
Internodes are starting to elongate and elevate shoot apices
Elongation stage
60
Inflorescences are located in the sheaths of the flag leaf
Boot stage
61
Inflorescences start to emerge and to expand
Heading
62
Flowers are shedding pollen
Anthesis
63
Inflorescences are fully developed and seeds are ripe
Mature seed
64
Is the least expensive feed for livestock
Pasture
65
The nutrient demand of the cow is what?
Cyclic and seasonal
66
Kinds of rotation grazing
Rest rotation Deferred rotation Management intensive grazing
67
Refers to broader category of grazing system
Rotational grazing
68
System, pastures are rested for a specific period of time. At least two to three pastures are needed in this system
Rest rotational grazing system
69
A particular pasture is not grazed for a specific period of time until plants reach a certain maturity level
Deferred grazing system
70
Can be more productive in regions where adequate soil moisture ensures regrowth of forage. This system is utilizes small pastures where livestock are rotated form one pasture to the next after they have grazed forage down to a specific level higher or amount of forage left in a short period of time.
Rotational grazing system
71
Animals are moved to a new paddock in no specific oder.
Management-intensive grazing system
72
Too many animals on a pasture for too long can decrease pasture and livestock production, even into the next season What phase is this?
Phase I
73
Too few animals can be a problem because the pasture will be underutilized, reducing feed quality and substantially lowering plant grow
Phase III
74
Forage in previously grazed area is allowed to rest and regrow to be grazed when forage plants reach the appropriate growth stage What phase is this ?
Phase II
75
Production can be increased in what grazing system?
Management intensive grazing system
76
An aerial map of farm can be useful in what?
determining fencing location Water supplies Existing forage resources
77
Is essential to improved grazing management and pasture production
Proper fencing
78
Is most often used, offering a more permanent solution than polywire
High-tensile wire
79
Can be used for interior fences with good perimeter fences
One wire
80
Many producer have found this to be an important part of a successful intensive grazing management
Constructing solid laneway
81
Are often used which can provide flexibility in location and reduce the problems associated with an accumulation of nutrients such as parasite, disease , erosion and weed problem around permanent water sources
Portable water system
82
Is very labor intensive compared to other system
Management intensive grazing
