Forage Plant, Water Management
Named Top Problems by Committee
Expanded research on improve
ment of forage plants, soil and
water management, forage har
vesting, and the problem of rumi-
nant bloat were urged by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture’s
Feed and Forage Research and
Marketing Advisory Committee at
its annual meeting in Washington
Feb. 5-7,
Each of these areas of study
constitutes a high priority need in
feed and forage research, in the
committee’s opinion.
Forage plant improvement
studies, according to the commit-
tee, would include the breeding
of superior forage grasses and
legumes of high nutritive value
and resistance to insects and dis
eases.
The soil and water studies re
quire a team approach to learn
thr most efficient use of irriga-
tion water for feed and forage
ciops and to prove/ 1 1 soil losses
through more efficient soil man
agement systems, the committee
said.
Research on bloat shauld be ex
panded to determine experimen
tally those factors that contribute
to this condition, so that they may
he correlated with the occmrence
of bloat in animals being handled
under usual farm practices.
Research, on harvesting proce
dures, m the Committee’s opinion,
should be aimed at using modern
equipment efficiently to produce
good quality silage. More studies
are needed on the bacteriological
and chemical changes that take
place during silage fermentation.
In the area of utilization re
search, the greatest need is for
