soil fertility are adequate. In fact, fall
pasturing can be beneficial where the
small grain was seeded early and has
made excessive growth.
Spring grazing may be started when
growth resumes. If a grain or silage
crop is to be harvested, grazing should
be discontinued when the plants start
to grow erect, just before jointing
(growth stage 6). Small grains plants
will be injured by grazing at any time
after their growing points are above the
ground.
Temporary electric fencing should
provide a practical way to manage
these pastures. Although small grains
can be continuously grazed, a rotation
al or strip grazing practice may allow a
higher carrying capacity (less wastage
from trampling).
Small grains pasture is lush, high in
protein, and low in fiber during most of
the fall grazing period. Crude protein
levels normally range from IS percent
to 34 percent of dry matter, making this
forage an excellent protein supplement
for many classes of livestock.
Animal health precautions: Grass
tetany can occur when small grains
forage is grazed by cows about to calve
or those which have recently calved.
This usually occurs in the spring. It is
recommended that animal diets be sup
plemented with a mineral mix contain
ing magnesium. Lactating dairy cows
that are grazing small grain pasture
should receive an additional 1 ounce of
magnesium oxide/cow/day.
There is a risk of nitrate poisoning if
animals graze rapidly growing and
recently fertilized small grains pasture.
Avoid this situation by applying nitro
gen fertilizer at planting time or well
before the intended grazing period.
Although rare, bloat may also be a
health risk when animals graze small
grains. This most likely will occur
when animals are first turned onto pas
ture in early spring and gorge them
selves with the lush forage. Bloat can
be prevented by feeding some stored
forage just before turning the animals
onto the pasture.
