Farmers can
rwr
control tansy,
OSU professor
Oregon ranchers can fatten
their sheep while they clear
their pasture! of tansy rag
wort, a weed that poisons
thousands of cattle, horses
and other animals each year,
an Oregon State University
study suggests.
"It appears sheep can
reduce tansy to acceptable
levels, and that tansy Is a
satisfactory feed for sheep,,
providing protein for their diet
in the summer when other
herbage Is dry," said Steven
Sharrow, OSU rangeland re
sources professor.
In addition, sheep appear to
be resistant to tansy ragwort's
poisonous properties, report
Sharrow and Wayne Mosher, a
Roseburg cattle and sheep
rancher, in an article about
tests they conducted in 1977
and 1978 at a ranch near Glide.
Sharrow and Mosher said the
field experiments, and follow
up laboratory analyses, indi
cate tansy ragwort's leaves
and flowers, the most attrac
tive parts to livestock, more
than meet the digestibility and
protein content requirements
for ewes and the digestibility
requirements of growing
lambs.
Tansy flowers contain ade
quate protein for lambs, but
the leaves are slightly defi
cient in protein for lambs'
iets, the researchers believe.
The initial experiment in
1977 used two pasture test
plots infested with tansy
ragwort. Cattle grazed one
plot and on the other cattle
grazed in the spring and sheep
were moved onto the land to
graze In the early summer
when tansy ragwort was
starting to bloom,
Sharrow and Mosher ob
served that the sheep gained
weight eating tansy and kept
many tansy plants from
reaching the seed-producing
stage-which reduces the
seeds available to re-establish
the plant in following years.
They said about BO percent
the forage-including tansy
in the cattle and sheep
pasture was grazed. About 20
percent of the forage was
utilized in the cattle-only
pasture.
Porks accepting
The State Parks and Recre
ation Division will begin
accepting reservation re
quests at 12 state parks on
Monday, January 12, for
Memorial Day weekend
through Labor Day weekend.
A 13th park, Fort Stevens,
will begin accepting reserva
tions the same day but will not
be able to accommodate
reservation campers until Ju
ly 1, due to a construction
project in progress there.
Requests for reservations
must be made by mail, or in
person, directly to the parks
1 participating in the reserva
tion program. Telephone re
quests cannot be accepted.
The division requires a $7
payment with each reser
vation. Of that amount, $5 is
applied to the first night's
charge and $2 is a new
non-refundable service fee
which is being imposed in an
effort to make the reservation
program more nearly self
supporting.
Campsite reservation appli
cations will soon be available
statewide from state park,
state police, motor vehicle and
many chamber of commerce
offices.
Perso s unable to obtain an
application may send a letter
to the appropriate reservation
park along with a $7 payment
for each reservation request.
The letter must include:
name, address and phone
number of the party request
ing a reservation; number of
people in the party; first and
last date of reservation period
desired; length and-or size,
and type of camping equip
fatten sheep,
says
Sharrow said besides push
ing out other forage, tansy
ragwort inflicts more than $1
million worth of damage a
year in westem Oregon by
poisoning livestock.
The weed injures or kills
the livestock when chemical
compounds it contains, called
pyrrolidine alkaloids, are
turned Into toxic substances in
animals' livers, injuring the
organs. The compounds have
been shown to be toxic to
humans, rats, cattle, horses,
goats and other creatures.
"Sheep, on the other hand,
seem resistant to its toxic
properties," said Sharrow,
adding that it is not clear
whether sheep have the ability
to destroy the alkaloids or to .
prevent their conversion to'
toxic compounds.
Veterinarians have found no
indications the alkaloids build
up in the tissue of sheep,
Sharrow said.
Tansy ragwort is a biennial
or weak perennial plant, and
occurs on about 3 million
acres of forest and rangeland
in western Oregon, as well as
in the coastal regions of
northern California and west
ern Washington, experts esti
mate. Sharrow and Mosher said
because of the wide distribu
tion of the plant, and public
concern about attempts to
control it with herbicides,
recent control efforts have
centered on biological control
with the flea beetle and the
cinnabar moth, insects that
feed on tansy ragwort.
Sheep provide an additional
biological control agent, they
said, adding that control of
tansy ragwort probably will
require a "mix cf biological,
chemical and cultural control
methods used to fit specific
situations.
Sharrow noted that about
1,600 sheep were used in 1979
to control brush on U.S. Forest
Service land near Alsea in the
Oregon Coast Range. The
animals' diet was about 20
percent tansy ragwort and "it
worked quite well," he said.
Several ranchers in the Rose
burg area are using sheep to .
control the weed, he added.
