author keywords: growing-finishing pigs; pasture-based pig production; stocking methods; tall fescue (schedonorus arundinaceus); ground cover; soil nutrients
TL;DR:
Comparing the effects of continuous, rotational and strip-grazing stocking methods for growing-finishing pigs on tall fescue pastures indicated the potential of both alternative stocking methods to be implemented in sustainable pasture-based pig production systems.

Effects of Growing-Finishing Pig Stocking Rates on Bermudagrass Ground Cover and Soil Properties
ANIMALS, 10(9).
author keywords: pasture pigs; bermudagrass; stocking rates; soil sampling position; soil depth; ground cover; soil properties; soil nutrients; nutrients distribution; outdoor pigs
TL;DR:
This study compared the effects of four different pig stocking rates over two 14-week grazing periods, on the vegetation ground cover and soil properties of bermudagrass paddocks and validated the existence of a spatial pattern of soil properties, which differed among sampling positions and depths.

Performance of growing cattle grazing stockpiled Jesup tall fescue with varying endophyte status
JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 87(3), 1034–1041.
author keywords: endophyte status; growing cattle; stockpiling; tall fescue
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Feed / microbiology; Animals; Blood Urea Nitrogen; Body Constitution / physiology; Cattle / growth & development; Cattle / physiology; Diet / veterinary; Eating / physiology; Female; Festuca / microbiology; Food Microbiology; Male; Neotyphodium / physiology; Prolactin / blood; Random Allocation; Seasons; Temperature; Time Factors; Weight Gain / physiology

Switchgrass production for the upper southeastern USA: Influence of cultivar and cutting frequency on biomass yields
BIOMASS & BIOENERGY, 30(3), 207–213.
author keywords: Panicum virgatum L.; harvest management; latitude; temperature; precipitation
TL;DR:
Lowland switchgrass cultivars appear better suited to biomass production in the upper southeastern USA, due to their greater productivity, and two vs. one cutting per year may be of less advantage for biomass yield with lowland cultivars in this region.

author keywords: continuous culture fermentation; endophyte status; tall fescue; grain supplementation
TL;DR:
Ruminal fermentation was minimally altered by the presence of the endophyte; however, for the highest level of grain fed, the methane production pattern for all three grasses was altered and the non-toxic, endophytes-infected fescue resulted in the lowest methane production measured.
