(May 16, 23 & 30th)
Cattle, sheep and goat producers
need to be on the lookout to make
sure Palmer amaranth, leafy spurge
and other invasive weed seeds don't
sneak in with feed.
The Minnesota Department of
Agriculture determined that Palmer
amaranth found its way into a soy-
bean field through cattle manure. The
cattle had been fed screenings from
contaminated sunflower seed.
"Weed seeds can be present in
some feeds -- for example, grain
screenings or dockage," says Karl
Hoppe, North Dakota State Univer-
sity Extension livestock systems spe-
cialist based at the Carrington
Research Extension Center (CREC).
"Sometimes when the whole seed
is fed, the hard outside seed coat pro-
tects the seed from being digested
and the viable seed passes out in the
manure," Hoppe says. "When cattle
are grazing, they can place manure
patties throughout the pasture. Es-
sentially, intact seeds could escape
digestion and the animal can seed all
parts of the pasture with the weed
seeds that are able to germinate.
"That's why screenings need to be
ground with a hammer mill -- to
break up the seeds and increase di-
gestibility."
The second way weed seeds can
avoid digestion is that they germi-
nate where they're fed but not actu-
ally eaten by the animals. When
given the right conditions, these
seeds can germinate at the feeding
site.
Hay and other forages also may
contain weeds and their seeds. The
weeds, if cut when mature, would
have viable seeds, he says.
When feeding livestock in pens,
the manure should be contained and
composted, says Mary Keena, Ex-
tension livestock environmental
management specialist also based at
the CREC. When composted cor-
rectly and appropriate compost tem-
peratures are attained, the weed
seeds lose the ability to germinate.
Search for "NDSU composting ani-
mal manures" for instructions.
Weed seeds can create additignal
problems for livestock, says Gerald
Stokka, Extension yeterinarian and
livestock stewardship' specialist. For
example, Palmer amaranth-infested
alfalfa has the same toxicity as red-
root pigweed. This family of weeds
accumulates nitrates and can cause
kidney damage.
In summary, Hoppe says, "Buy
grain clean and screened without
dockage. But if you do buy grain
screenings, be sure to grind (hammer
mill) the screenings to destroy the
weed seeds."
