Water Metabolism of Dairy Cattle

Journal of Dairy Science, 1992
Lactating dairy cows metabolize large amounts of water and are affected rapidly by water deprivation. Total body water, half-life of body water, size of component pools, and exchanges among them have been quantitated in several studies. The data underscore the dynamic nature of water metabolism in lactating cows.

Health Biomarkers of Pesticide Exposure in Rural Populations of Santa Fe, Argentina: Oxidative Stress and Genotoxicity

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to quantify pesticide residues in environmental matrices and plasma and to evaluate their potential effects on oxidative stress and DNA damage in rural populations of Santa Fe province. Soil and rainwater samples were collected, and biological samples and semistructured surveys were obtained from volunteers in three ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Transforming the tradition of discrete milk yield correction factors: A continuous 1-step DeLorenzo-Wiggans method

JDS Communications
Over the past decades, various methods have been proposed to estimate daily milk yields from partial yields. Many of these methods divide milking interval time into varied classes, assuming that the yield correction factors are constant within classes ...

A Framework to Establish Diet and Nutrition Competencies for Oral Health Care Education

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective: To prevent and manage oral disease, oral health care practitioners (OHCPs) must provide dietary counseling based on nutrition science. OHCPs are often ill‐equipped to provide such counseling due to fragmented and inadequate dietary education, which is typically attributed to limited curricular time or appropriately qualified faculty.

Healthier Herds, Heavier Workloads? The Gendered Time and Resource Implications of Herd Health Management in Kenyan Dairy Systems

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strategies for sustainable intensification of livestock are critical for food system transformation. In dairying systems, herd health management is among such strategies. Although adoption patterns and productivity gains have been analysed in previous studies, the social implications are still not well understood.

Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Biomass production and silage quality of ensiled BRS Capiaçu elephant grass at different regrowth ages and residue heights

Scientific Reports
The aim of this study was to determine the optimal combination of regrowth age and residue height of BRS Capiaçu elephant grass that yields the best balance between the dry mass production (DMP) of the harvested forage and silage quality.
