New Mexico State University’s Corona Range and Livestock Research Center in Corona, New Mexico, will highlight several research projects related to goats, cows, sheep and more during its field day Oct. 18.
 


The field day will begin with a reception at 10 a.m., followed by research presentations by NMSU faculty and graduate students. Participation is free and open to the public.


 
Presentations include the effects of transportation on artificial insemination pregnancy rates in Boer goats; the effects of strategic amino acid supplementation prior to breeding on reproductive performance of primiparous cows; the influence of a single administration of prostaglandin on estrus synchronization in range sheep production; evaluating the effects of wind energy development on habitat selection of a terrestrial mammal community in central New Mexico; the multi-scale influence of arthropod and habitat characteristics on foraging site selection of pinyon jays in south-central New Mexico; and the impact of growth promoting implants on heifer reproduction.
 


Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet with the center’s scientists and graduate students to discuss the center’s projects and ask questions.


 
“We invite everyone to join us to visit with our graduate students and faculty directly about the research that means the most to you,” said Shad Cox, NMSU Agricultural Experiment Station livestock operations director and superintendent of the research center. “Our presentations are in concurrent poster format, meaning you can walk from one poster to the other at your own pace, visit with the researcher one on one and move on to the next. This is an excellent opportunity to learn and exchange ideas about what means the most to you or your operation.”
