E.  aRange nutrition in an arid region.  aLogan: Utah State Universityc1968  a100 p.  a(USU Faculty Honor Lectures. Paper 74).  aBasic methods for range nutrition research - Measuring Intake and Digestibility (The ratio technique, Fecal index technique, Estimation of total feces by grab samples); Obtaining Samples of Actual Forage Ingested (The "before and after" method, Esophageal fistula method, Rumen evacuation method); Measuring Metabolizable Energy of Range Plants; Methods of Expressing Energy Values; Range Meters For Measuring the Distance Traveled By Sheep and Cattle; Weighing Range Animals; Environmental Influences on Animal Response. Experiments in range nutrition in an arid region - Characteristics of the Intermountain Range (Winter range, Spring and fall range, Summer range); Examples of Range Experiments;An Experiment on the Winter Range, The nutrient content of the grazing sheep's diet, Experimental plan, Live weight changes, Blood chemistry, Wool production, Lamb- crop, Comparison of experimental controls and controls in a large herd Conclusions and recommendations;Nourishing the Rumen Microorganisms (Experimental plan, Results and conclusions); Influence of Nitrogen Intake Upon Rumen Function (Experimental plan); Utilization of reseeded grasses in an arid region - Grazing Reseeded Grasses in the Spring, Grazing Reseeded Grasses from April to December,Control of Invading Sagebrush in Reseeded Range Grasse; Fulfillment - Some Ideas For the Rencher (Supplements for sheep on the winter range, Grazing scheme for spring and fall, Grazing scheme from April to December).
