Digestion of Range Forage by Sheep Collected by Esophageal Fistulated Cattle1

Joe D. Wallace and A. H. Denham

Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station, Fort Collins

Abstract

Grazed forage was collected twice daily from eight esophageal-fistulated steers on sandhill range over 5-day periods in mid-June, late July, early September and mid-December. About 55 kg was collected in each period. Digestibility was determined by feeding the cattle-grazed forage to caged sheep in conventional digestion trials. This method offers a new approach for range and pasture nutrition studies. Proposed uses for the method are discussed.
