Swath Grazing To Extend The Grazing Season

Swath grazing can be used to extend the grazing season, while reducing various costs for cattle producers. Researchers are developing crop varieties and species better suited to swatch grazing that will provide higher yields and nutrition for cattle. Dr. Vern Baron, research scientist with Agriculture Canada in Lacombe, is one of those researchers, and I had a chance to chat with him about swath grazing.

How to Maximize Swine Profitability with U.S. Soy

Video: How to Maximize Swine Profitability with U.S. Soy


Are you looking for ways to maximize profitability in swine production? Leading animal nutritionists talk about the "soy effect," asserting the value of using soybean meal (SBM) made from U.S. Soy when formulating feed rations. In this video, Dr. David Rosero, assistant professor at Iowa State University, explains the soy effect and four key reasons for including soybean meal in swine diets for optimal performance and profitability.

Four Pillars of Soybean Meal in Swine Nutrition:
1. Energy Contribution of Soybean Meal in Commercial Diets
2. Soybean Meal as a Functional Bioactive for Animal Health
3. Soybean Meal as a High-Value Protein Source During Late Finisher Diets
4. Soybean Meal-Based Diets to Mitigate Summer Weight Dip
The proven consistency and quality exhibited by U.S. Soy makes for a superior nutritional bundle in animal nutrition, offering a reliable source of protein and energy for high-performing swine.
