Growth of Holstein Calves Fed Alfalfa Pasture, Alfalfa Greenchop, or Alfalfa Hay

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 1970
Two trials were conducted. In Trial 1, 28 Holstein steers and heifers were divided into two groups. One group grazed alfalfa pasture and the other was fed alfalfa hay. Both groups were fed 2.27 kg grain per head per day. To prevent bloat, calves pastured on alfalfa received 10 g poloxalene daily.

Coexistence and Market Assurance for Production of Non–Genetically Engineered Alfalfa Hay and Forage in a Biotech Era

open access: hybrid, 2016
The introduction of Genetically-Engineered (GE) alfalfa requires a mechanism for producers to successfully grow and market alfalfa hay destined for GE-sensitive markets such as organic and export. A process of coexistence includes elements of respect for

Impact of the Belding's ground squirrel, Spermophilus beldingi, on alfalfa production in northeastern California [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The Belding ground squirrel (Spermophilus beldingi) is found in rangeland, pasture, and various agronomic crops. However, its impact on agricultural production has been measured only rarely, e.g., by Grinnell and Dixon (1918) and Sauer (1976, 1977).

Technical note: Comparison of automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to assess bacterial diversity in the rumen of sheep [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The aim of this study was to compare automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) techniques to assess bacterial diversity in the rumen of sheep.

BioCNTs Mediated Delivery of Systemically Mobile Small RNAs via Leaf Spray to Control Both Tomato DNA and RNA Viruses

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A carbon nanotube‐based biopesticide system (BioCNTs) enables efficient delivery and systemic movement of RNAi molecules to control major tomato viruses. By integrating shRNA and tRNA‐like structures (TLS) with BioCNTs, this green and scalable approach achieves long‐term silencing and high antiviral efficacy through simple foliar spraying.

Alfalfa (1993) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Alfalfa is the most productive legume for Missouri, with potential yields exceeding six tons of hay per acre on good soils. Unlike red or white clover, established alfalfa is productive during midsummer except during extreme drought.

Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

Assessment of selected soil parameters in a long-term Western Canadian organic field experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A long-term field study was used to compare soil nitrogen and phosphorous status, and soil aggregate stability in organic and conventional cropping systems. Two rotations were tested: a grain only and a grain-alfalfa hay rotation.

Effects of Replacing Alfalfa Hay With Barley Silage in High‐Concentrate Diets: Chewing Behavior, Ruminal Fermentation, Total‐Tract Digestibility, and Milk Production of Dairy Cows in Mid‐Lactation Phase

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We assessed lactation productivity in dairy cows when replacing alfalfa hay with barley silage. A 50% replacement increased feed intake, whereas total replacement improved nutrient conversion to milk. Barley silage can effectively replace alfalfa hay, enhancing sustainability and resilience in dairy production amid forage quality constraints and market
