Rotated I rrigated
Pasture Increases Gains
STILLWATER, Okla. Ex
penments here at the Oklahoma
Experiment Station show that a
combination of irrigation and ro
tation grazmg pays off in in
creased livestock gains.
In the tests, rotation grazing or
irrigated pastures- of rye, barlej
and vetch produced 552. pounds
beef an acre compared with
471 pounds for similar irrigated
pastures continuously grazed.
Pastures not irrigated and con
tinuously grazed produced only
220 pounds of beef an acre.
