🌾 Managing Warm-Season Forages? Know the Risks.

Drought stress, heavy nitrogen fertilization, and sudden weather changes can increase the risk of nitrate and prussic acid poisoning in sorghum, sudangrass, and johnsongrass. Before grazing or feeding these forages, take time to understand the risks and consider forage testing to help protect your livestock. Nitrate testing is free through NCDA&CS Forage Testing service.

Learn more in this research-based article, Nitrate and Prussic Acid Concerns in Warm Season Forages: https://randolph.ces.ncsu.edu/news/1014061/

Large effort today as our students and staff worked to establish research paddocks for a study comparing reproductive physiology responses of beef cattle in silvopasture and open pasture systems.

Proud of the hard work and teamwork that made this possible. This is one of only a handful of silvopasture research sites in the United States, and we are excited to advance our understanding of integrated tree-livestock-forage systems.
