ANNUAL LESPEDEZA PRODUCTION PRACTICES AND COSTS IN THE PIEDMONT OF GEORGIA

The primary objective of this report is to present background information on practices and costs applicable to the production of annual lespedeza in the Piedmont section of Georgia. The information on which this report is based was obtained by personal inter- views with farmers selected at random in Barrow, Clarke, Floyd, Green, Jackson, Madison, Newton, Oglethorpe, Pike, Spalding,and Walton counties. The sequence and kinds of operations, labor requirements,and material inputs vary from one farm to another. The data are averages of actual experiences observed on the sample farms and should be fairly typical of production practices and costs in all similar cases. Labor requirements and costs are shown separately for farms on which mule power was used and for those on which tractor power was used., Labor requirements and costs are also shown separately for lespedeza production for hay and lespedeza production for seed

From Membrane Biophysics to the Farm: Applications of Fatty Acid and Monoglyceride Chemsitry to Animal Health

Presented at 2020 Virtual Cornell Nutrition ConferenceThe use of antibiotics in food animal production is under growing societal and regulatory pressure, consequently new technologies must be found to support animal health in their absence. Due to their chemical structure, medium chain fatty acids and monoglycerides are effective antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory feed additives with the added benefit of being available to support metabolism. While their use is growing in swine and transboundary disease mitigation, applications in ruminant production should be explored.Department of Animal Scienc
