摘要

A trial was initiated on January 11, 2000 to 1) evaluate endophyte-free tall fescue (FF; Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) or orchard-grass (OG; Dactylis glomerata L.) overseeded into dormant common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] sods for spring-calving cows, and 2) compare these forage systems with mixtures of endophyte-infected tall fescue (IF) and bermudagrass that are observed commonly throughout the southern Ozark region. Two management systems were evaluated in an effort to help the OG and FF forages persist; these include rotations to new paddocks twice weekly (2xW) or twice monthly (2xM). Actual weaning weight, adjusted 205-d weaning weight, total gain from birth to weaning, and average daily gain from birth to weaning were greater (P< 0.083) for calves on non-toxic forages (FF or OG) than for those on IF pastures. Calves raised on OG-2xW, OG-2xM, and FF-2xM exhibited a 47 to 59-lb advantage in actual weaning weight over those on IF pastures. It is not clear why calves raised on FF-2xW pastures exhibited only a 21-lb numerical advantage. Cows grazing OG and FF pastures exhibited higher (P < 0.035) body weights and body condition scores (BCS) at calving, breeding, and weaning than cows grazing IF pastures; however. BCS for cows grazing IF pastures remained within an acceptable range (6.1 to 6.7). Cow-calf performance was improved marginally by including non-toxic, perennial cool-season grasses in bermudagrass pastures, but establishment costs and additional management requirements, relative to those necessary for mixtures of IF and bermudagrass, may limit the acceptability of this approach.
