Dietary Chemical Composition of Cattle and Sheep Grazing in Common on a Dry Annual Range

Significant differences among animals were found in chemical composition of dietary samples collected with esophageal fistulated cattle and sheep grazing in common on a dry annual range. Diets from sheep and in early summer were higher quality than from cattle or in late summer. Six or fewer animals would suffice to sample most dietary constituents within 10% of the mean with 95% confidence.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
