Meeting Late Season Grazing Gaps for Sheep with Sudangrass and Sorghum×Sudangrass Hybrids
By Whit Stewart and Anowar Islam Market timing of feeder lambs is largely determined by forage resources or lack thereof for many sheep enterprises in the Intermountain West and Northern Plains. With record lamb prices and widespread drought, contingency planning to meet forage gaps in the late summer forage production should be considered now. Warm season annuals such as sorghum-sudan hybrids and sudangrass might be considered, especially with the hot and dry weather forecast for this summer.
Pros and cons of fescue toxicity - part IV
By Anowar Islam In my last few articles, I discussed common syndromes of fescue toxicosis in cattle and horses, including abortions, difficult birth (dystocia), longer or prolonged gestation, thickness in placenta, death of foals, retained placentas, little to no milk production (agalactia), mares’ death during foaling and some biology of the causal agent. In this article, I will focus on possible benefits of endophyte remaining inside tall fescue plants.
Fescue Toxicity: Some Pros and Cons - Part III
By Anowar Islam In my last two articles, I discussed some common syndromes of fescue toxicosis in cattle. I indicated fescue toxicity can also cause serious problems in horses, especially reproduction problems in mares, including abortions, difficult birth or dystocia, longer or prolonged gestation, thickness in placenta, deaths of foal, retained placentas, little to no milk production, also known as agalactia, and even in worst scenarios, mares’ death during foaling.
Fescue Toxicity Pros and Cons - Part I
By Anowar Islam Tall fescue is a cool-season perennial grass. It is the most important cultivated pasture grass in the U.S. grown on more than 35 million acres. This grass is an important component of the pasture systems in about half of the U.S., especially in the southeastern part. Tall fescue was introduced to the U.S. from Europe in the 1800s, however it was not widely planted until late 1930s. Acceptance of this grass started to increase sharply because of its many positive attributes.
