Abstract Grasslands are important terrestrial ecosystems that provide feed for livestock, support soil conservation and nutrient cycling, and store soil carbon (C). In many grazed grasslands, restricted nitrogen (N) inputs from fertilizers and minimal legume presence may constrain belowground biomass accumulation and soil C storage because of limited N.

Establishing rhizoma peanut–bahiagrass mixtures
Rhizoma peanut (RP; Arachis glabrata Benth.) is a perennial legume with ability to persist and spread in mixtures with C4 grasses. Most RP establishment studies focus on its use as a monoculture hay crop, and more information is needed on establishment ...

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Intraspecific tetraploid hybrids of Paspalum notatum: agronomic evaluation of segregating progeny
: For many decades, animal production in southern Brazil has been based on native forage grasses. Paspalum notatum Flügge (bahiagrass) is one of the most frequently used native grass in southern Brazil. The native germplasm of P.

Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a promising strategy for accelerating genetic gains of complex traits in breeding programs. Despite the recent advancements in high‐throughput genotyping technologies, the selection of the type of marker systems needed for GS remains challenging in breeding programs.

Abstract Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been identified as a “model” herbaceous species for bioenergy production by the United States Department of Energy. Switchgrass can provide several ecosystem services, including biodiversity support, soil erosion control, runoff filtering, and reclamation of marginal land.

Complete Extruded Diet: How Does Equine Fecal Microbiota Change During Intake Adaptation?
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the gradual adaptation of the fecal bacterial community and in vitro fermentative capacity of horses fed a complete extruded diet (CED). Twelve geldings weighing 370 kg were removed from a native pasture and fed coastcross hay (Cynodon spp) for 7 days.
