Body

The water-intake method of estimating forage intake by grazing cattle can permit a valuable extension of research on semiarid grasslands, but eventually we shall require a wider applicability and greater assurance of accuracy than can be attained at present. This method requires the measurement of water drunk, mean air temperature, and moisture content of forage. Sampling requirements of each measurement were evaluated in 1966 and limits of application were defined in terms of mean air temperatures and moisture contents of forage. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
