      <description><![CDATA[Horse property barns and stables may contain large quantities of mud because of excessive traffic. Mud is more than a mess or nuisance.  Winter and spring rains can cause mud and manure to runoff into nearby waterways. Nutrients and sediment in runoff are a source of non-point source pollution, which can degrade water quality. Louisiana horse owners can reduce the impact on streams and bayous by specific adopting management practices. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Rotational grazing has long been used by livestock producers as a way to use pasture more efficiently. By dividing large pastures into smaller paddocks, animals make better use of available forage.  Additionally, pastures that are not allowed to be grazed down to such an extent that soil erosion can occur protect the environment by preventing sediment loss into adjacent waterways. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[A healthy calf crop provides replacement animals for the future of the dairy operation. However, a busy work environment often causes the neonatal calf to become overlooked, leading to consequences that may be irreversible. It is important to understand that the neonate must consume sufficient colostrum as soon after birth as possible to achieve the needed passive immunity to survive the first few weeks of life. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

Users are asked to enter information including calf prices, weaning weights and weaning percentage to calculate the difference in net present value between the two bulls.

      <description><![CDATA[This article summarizes factors influencing MUN in Louisiana Dairy Herds. Dietary protein has long been recognized as a key nutrient for high milk production in dairy cows, but determining how much protein a cow consumes and how well it is utilized is a difficult undertaking, particularly at the farm level. Interest in the use of milk urea nitrogen (MUN) concentrations as a practical indicator of dietary protein status in dairy cows has grown considerably in recent years. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Louisiana forages are often low in quality in late summer. Nutrient intake from forage by a mature cow will usually exceed the requirement for maintenance but may not be high enough to meet the additional requirement for lactation. When nutrient intake is below requirements, the cow must pull nutrients from body reserves to meet her requirements. The result is weight loss and a decrease in body condition. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Many producers do not understand that shrink is a weak link in marketing cattle. Cattle producers spend a great deal of time and energy to make their cattle gain weight and weigh as much as possible. Then, when they pen, process and transport their cattle for market, the cattle lose weight. An increase in knowledge about shrink and the factors that affect it is critical to maximizing profits. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Beef cattle in Louisiana are continuously exposed to infections with parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes (commonly known as roundworms). The life cycle of these parasites is direct; they do not need an intermediate host. Adult worms in cattle shed eggs that are passed in their feces. These eggs hatch and develop into infective larvae that climb on growing forage and are ingested as the forage is consumed. These larvae develop into adults and the cycle is completed within 14 to 60 days. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

Over the past 20 years, scientists in the LSU AgCenter have played an important role in understanding the need for and use of trace minerals in diets for animals. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The horse industry is alive and well in Louisiana. Purses for racing Thoroughbreds and quarter horses are high, and quality show horses are found in nearly every barn. Knowledge of horse owners and their ability to care for their animals is also increasing. Neurologic diseases and how to best prevent them continue to present challenges to our horses as well as their humans. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The poultry industry is the largest animal agricultural industry in Louisiana and is second only to forestry in total income produced by all agricultural commodities. Louisiana poultry growers produce almost 1 billion pounds of broiler meat each year. The size of the poultry industry in Louisiana has raised concerns about the management of large quantities of litter (mixture of poultry manure and bedding material). - Full Content set to .]]></description>
