The benefits of off-stream watering are numerous. Watering livestock away from the water source can improve water quality, animal health, animal productivity, pasture utilization and manure distribution.... Recent cattle grazing studies show that off-stream watering significantly reduces stream bank erosion and lowers the amount of nutrients, sediment, and fecal bacteria entering the water source. 1, record 1, English, - off%2Dstream%20livestock%20watering

The first step in developing a winter feeding program is to examine the feed balance. That is, how does supply and demand balance on an individual farm? What feedstuffs are in inventory or will be harvested, i. e. hay silage, corn stalk grazing, late-season grazing? Compare these supplies to feed requirements based on animal inventories. 3, record 2, English, - feed%20balance

Animal Feeding Operations(AFOs) are agricultural operations where animals are kept and raised in confined situations. AFOs congregate animals, feed, manure and urine, dead animals, and production operations on a small land area. Feed is brought to the animals rather than the animals grazing or otherwise seeking feed in pastures, fields, or on rangeland.... Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations(CAFOs) are AFOs that meet certain EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] criteria. CAFOs make up approximately 15 percent of total AFOs. 1, record 4, English, - Concentrated%20Animal%20Feeding%20Operation

In most countries both trees and forage are important but there is not enough of either resource to satisfy all needs.
