This new app is available to help cattle producers estimate forage quality for livestock on pastures and maintain records. After taking a photo of the “typical” fecal pat in a pasture, pat can be compared to several different stock photos to determine the approximate crude protein and digestibility of forage cattle are consuming. You’ll never look at cow poop the same again!
This information can be saved with a title and pasture name and a date will automatically be assigned for future reference. This mobile app is based on the Extension publication (E-541) ‘Forage Quality Photo Guide’ by Drs. Lyons, Machen, and Stuth – still available on the bookstore website.
