  This study aimed to estimate the optimum utilization of ruminant feed resources in tropical dry-land during dry and rainy seasons. Data concerning feed availability and quality were collected from Gunungkidul Regency of Indonesia over two seasons: the dry and rainy seasons. The JAVA program, the model, was used to estimate the availability of feed for ruminants associated with mean live weight gain (MLWG) and total live weight production (TLWP). The results showed that the maximum production in the dry season was obtained when 18% dry matter (DM) was used (MLWG 0.33 kg/animal unit (AU)/day, herd size (HS) 197 AU, and TLWP 11.94 tons/season), or in the rainy season, when 46% DM was used (MLWG 0.18 kg/AU/day, HS 1116 AU, and TLWP 37.22 tons/season). Furthermore, when only 100% was used, it could feed a maximum of 1500 AU and 2968 AU in the dry and rainy seasons, respectively. Without the transfer of feed from one season to another, a constant number, 350 AU, was obtained for HS, with a maximum TLWP of 19.16 tons/year. On the other hand, when the feed was kept constant at 34% dry matter (DM), a maximum TLWP obtained was 32.32 tons/year which is enough 420 and 820 animal units in the dry and rainy season, respectively. It was concluded that to obtain maximum TLWP in each season, only 14.5% to 46% of available DM feed should be used, as most of the available feed was of very low quality. پرونده مقاله

  One of the main resonator factors in watershed soil erosion is inappropriateland management including conversion of pasture land to dry-land farming.Unfortunately, the changes of Gara Su watershed usages have been very common.Thus, in order to understand the influence of land use on runoff rate and soil loss, soillosses were investigated and determined under both pasture and dry-land agriculturesat sub-watershed of Dojag chay in southern west Qara Su Basin (within Ardebilprovince). In this Research, using a drop maker rainfall simulator device, 18treatments under the said watershed were conducted using an artificial rain with theintensity of 6 mm/ min for 6 minutes and soil loss rate was measured due to therainfall in two user types in dry-land and rangeland under natural humidity conditionsand approximately the same as the raining season in three slope classes of 5 to 12, 12to 20 and greater than 20. The results showed that with the cultivation, cultivatedsoils get empty and their porosity and permeability increase so, with the increase ofwater penetration ability, their runoff compared to the pasture lands starts with delay.Comparing the amount of runoff shows that after runoff gets started in rain-fedagriculture lands, the flowing speed and amount of water become more than those ofpasture lands and the statistical analysis also verified the significant relationship,especially in slopes of more than 20% between the amount of soil loss and land use.The soil loss under rain-fed agriculture was 8.8 times more than the pasture. As thesoil loss was compared for different slope classes of 5-12, 12-20, and more than 20slope percent, the results indicated that the soil losses under rain-fed agriculture were4.5, 5.6, and 12 times more than the pasture. The study results, therefore, can beutilized for proper management of area through devoting necessary attention intoland uses. پرونده مقاله
