The Animal Agriculture and the Environment (AAE) Community of ASA (Environmental Quality Section) brings together members of different backgrounds to understand how livestock operations have the potential to reduce their ...
Comparison of two non-destructive techniques to determine DM yield in the tropics
(2018-06)
Dry matter yield determines both stocking rate and animal carrying capacity on farms, but to estimate
such indicators, accurate yield measures are required. Some common techniques to estimate biomass in
pastures are ...
Interseeding cool-season forages into corn to increase yield and quality of residue grazed in the fall
(2015-07-23)
Six forage species/mixtures were interseeded into irrigated grain corn to evaluate their yield and nutritional quality as a means of improving diets for beef cattle grazing cornstalks during the fall. Species evaluated ...

Forage biomass estimated with a pre-calibrated equation of a rising platemeter in pastures grown in tropical conditions
(2023)
Accurate estimates of forage biomass allow for better adjustments of stocking rate, carrying capacity, and dry matter intake in livestock operations. Among the most common methods to estimate biomass are platemeters, for ...
