The AUM is a useful tool to range managers if properly defined and applied. A proposal is made that an animal unit be defined as a 1,000 lb dry cow in maintenance or gestation, or its equivalent. It is also proposed that 540 therms of digestible energy (equivalent to 270 lb of TDN) be used for converting dry roughages, silages, and grains to AUM's. 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.
