Spexin mRNA profile and its response to different photoperiods in Chinese Yangzhou geese (Anas cygnoides)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Spexin (SPX, NPQ), a novel neuropeptide composed of 14 amino acid residues, is evolutionarily conserved among different species. Spexin has been suggested to have pleiotropic functions in mammals. However, reports on spexin in birds are limited.

Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2016
Paradoxically, the number of crop–livestock farms is declining across Europe, despite the fact that crop-livestock farms are theoretically optimal to improve the sustainability of agriculture. To solve this issue, crop–livestock integration may be organized beyond the farm level.

Grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems

Animal, 2021
Conventional agriculture is specializing rapidly into the management of few monoculture crops, threatening crop diversity and questioning the sustainability of extensive cropping systems. The grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems could be a feasible biologically based technology to restore crop diversity and mitigate ecological ...

Trajectories of crop–livestock integration in the context of specialization in Northwest Vietnam

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2023
AbstractMixed crop–livestock systems, the world's most widespread farming systems, promote farm resilience through diversification and allow for crop–livestock integration (CLI). Intensification and specialization challenge these systems. In Northwest Vietnam, the standard farm model is based on mixed crop–livestock family farms but is shifting towards

System proximity index ratio (SPIR) accuracy in forecasting the sustainability of crop-livestock farming systems in Indonesian paddy fields

Revista de Economia e Sociologia Rural, 2023
The crop-livestock farming system in paddy fields is integrated between rice crops and beef cattle (rice-beef cattle CLFS). Rice plants will produce straw and rice bran that can be used for animal feed, and livestock will produce compost/manure that can ...

Integrated crop-livestock systems − a key to sustainable intensification in Africa [PDF]

Tropical Grasslands - Forrajes Tropicales, 2013
Les systèmes mixtes cultures-élevage fournissent des moyens de subsistance à un milliard de personnes et produisent la moitié des céréales du monde et environ un tiers de son bœuf et de son lait. L'orientation vers le marché et la demande forte et croissante de denrées alimentaires constituent de puissantes incitations à l'intensification durable des ...

Beef cattle behavior in integrated crop-livestock systems [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2022
ABSTRACT: Temperament often depends on the animals’ reaction to people, social and environmental conditions. However, little is known about the influence of changes in the pasture environment on cattle temperament. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate if an animals’ temperament changes in response to being kept in a silvopastoral system.

Increasing Dairy Sustainability with Integrated Crop–Livestock Farming [PDF]

Sustainability, 2020
Dairy farms are predominantly carbon sources, due to high livestock emissions from enteric fermentation and manure. Integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLSs) have the potential to offset these greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as recycling products within the farm boundaries is prioritized.
