Influence of maturity on alfalfa hay nutritional fractions and indigestible fiber content.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2014
This study focused on changes in fibrous and protein fractions, changes in fiber digestibility and amount of indigestible neutral detergent fiber (NDF) as a consequence of increased maturity in alfalfa.

The Arecibo Pisces-Perseus Supercluster Survey I: Harvesting ALFALFA [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We report a multi-objective campaign of targeted 21 cm HI line observations of sources selected from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (Arecibo L-band Feed Array) survey (ALFALFA) and galaxies identified by their morphological and photometric properties in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

Evaluating the inclusion of alfalfa hay in diets fed to multigravid Holstein cows in their transition to early lactation

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: The objectives of this study were to determine the dry matter intake (DMI), urine pH, Ca concentration in blood, Ca output in urine, and frequency of hypocalcemia in pregnant and nonlactating dairy cows consuming diets containing different hays and ...

ALFALFA: The Search for (Almost) Dark Galaxies and their Space Distribution [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey is designed to explore the z=0 HI mass function (HIMF) over a cosmologically significant volume. ALFALFA will improve on previous determinations of the HIMF by its combination of depth, wide area and centroiding accuracy, the latter allowing, in most cases, immediate identification of the optical ...

Effect of Feeding Selenium-Fertilized Alfalfa Hay on Performance of Weaned Beef Calves

PLoS ONE, 2013
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient in cattle, and Se-deficiency can affect morbidity and mortality. Calves may have greater Se requirements during periods of stress, such as during the transitional period between weaning and movement to a ...

Effects of feeding brown midrib corn silage with a high dietary concentration of alfalfa hay on lactational performance of Holstein dairy cows for the first 180 days of lactation.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2013
This experiment was conducted to test a hypothesis that lactating dairy cows fed 35% brown midrib (BMR) corn silage and 25% alfalfa hay (dry matter (DM) basis) would consume more DM around peak lactation compared with those fed conventional corn silage ...

The Effect of Increasing the Proportion of Dietary Roughage Based on the Partial Replacement of Low-Quality Roughage with Alfalfa Hay on the Fatty Acid Profile of Donkey Milk

Animals
As a lactation source, donkey milk contains a higher percentage of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the milk fatty acid profile than cow’s milk, especially the percentage of α-linolenic acid (ALA).

Biodiversity and composition of methanogenic populations in the rumen of cows fed alfalfa hay or triticale straw.

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2013
It is clear that methanogens are responsible for ruminal methane emissions, but quantitative information about the composition of the methanogenic community in the bovine rumen is still limited.

Partial root-zone drying subsurface drip irrigation increased the alfalfa quality yield but decreased the alfalfa quality content

Frontiers in Plant Science
Water shortage seriously restricts the development of grassland agriculture in arid land and dramatically impacts alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) quality content and hay yield.
