Alterações bromatológicas e fermentativas durante o armazenamento de silagens de cana-de-açúcar com e sem milho desintegrado com palha e sabugo Chemical and fermentative changes during the storage period of the sugar cane silage with or without ground dried ear corn

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2009
Avaliaram-se as alterações bromatológicas e fermentativas de silagens de cana-de-açúcar com e sem milho desintegrado com palha e sabugo (MDPS) durante 100 dias de armazenamento.

Comparison of the effects of rectal examination on heart rate and eye temperature in cattle of different parity

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rectal examination is a routine procedure in bovine reproductive management, but its physiological impact may vary depending on the cow's age and parity. Stress responses during such procedures can negatively affect animal welfare and compliance, especially in inexperienced animals.

Changes in Sugars during Ensilage

open access: yesNihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1979
イタリアンライグラスおよびオーチャードグラスを材料として,実験室規模のサイロを用いて,サイレージ発酵過程における糖および乳酸,揮発性脂肪酸(VFA)の消長を経時的に調べた.実験IとIIは,材料草の糖含量が比較的高く,実験Iでは2日間で大量の乳酸が生成され,pHは低下して最終的に良質なサイレージとなったが,実験IIでは2日間で大量の糖が消費されたにもかかわらず,乳酸,VFAは少量しか生成されず,最終的にはVFAが大量に生成され,劣質なサイレージとなった.実験IIIとIVは,材料草の糖含量が低く,実験IIIではある程度の乳酸が生成され,酪酸以上のVFAが生成されず,比較的良質なサイレージとなり,実験IVでは4日後まで乳酸が増加したが,その後大量のVFAが生成され,劣質なサイレージとなった,実験I,III,

Contrasting drivers of phosphorus dynamics across soil aggregates: The role of nutrient enrichment and mowing

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential but often limiting nutrient for sustaining grassland ecosystem functions. Its soil dynamics are highly sensitive to land management practices and may vary across soil aggregate sizes due to differences in biotic and abiotic factors ...

Planning Crop–Livestock Integration With Social Norms: A Bio‐Economic Model Balancing Circularity and Farmer Welfare

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional crop‐livestock integration can reduce dependence on external inputs and improve circularity, but its implementation requires coordination across heterogeneous farms and may generate uneven welfare losses due to technical, economic and behavioural factors, including social norms and peer effects.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Beyond the Individual: Multisite Population‐Level Consequences of Road Mortality on a Declining Mammal

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used a comparative study design to quantify population densities, structure, survival, cause‐specific mortality and female productivity in four West‐European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) populations, and to forecast the impact of road mortality on population viability.

Effects of Harvest Date and Ensiling Additives on the Optimized Ensiling of Silphium Perfoliatum to Prevent Faulty Fermentation

open access: yesAgriculture
Silphium perfoliatum, an energy crop with a high fiber content but low concentrations of fermentable carbohydrates, presents challenges for complete fermentation in biogas production.

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.
