Animal Microbiome, 2022 Background Targeted modification of the dairy calf ruminal microbiome has been attempted through rumen fluid inoculation to alter productive phenotypes later in life. However, sustainable effects of the early life interventions have not been well studied,

Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

Nutritive value of field pea -oat and common vetch -oat bicrops [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2023 Peas and vetches are the most important plant species for the production of forages, where they can be used as hay, haylage or silage. Due to their specific characteristics-tendency to lodging and high buffering capacity, they are usually grown in a ...

Impact of food distribution on lifetime of a forager with or without sense of smell [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 103, 012114 (2021), 2020 Modeling foraging via basic models is a problem that has been recently investigated from several points of view. However, understanding the effect of the spatial distribution of food on the lifetime of a forager has not been achieved yet. We explore here how the distribution of food in space affects the forager's lifetime in several different scenarios.

A global comparison of the nutritive values of forage plants grown in contrasting environments
Journal of plant research, 2017 Forage plants are valuable because they maintain wild and domesticated herbivores, and sustain the delivery of meat, milk and other commodities. Forage plants contain different quantities of fibre, lignin, minerals and protein, and vary in the proportion

Information foraging with an oracle
PLOS ONE, 2023 During ecological decisions, such as when foraging for food or selecting a weekend activity, we often have to balance the costs and benefits of exploiting known options versus exploring novel ones. Here, we ask how individuals address such cost-benefit tradeoffs during tasks in which we can either explore by ourselves or seek external advice from an ...

Review: Feeding conserved forage to horses: recent advances and recommendations.
Animal, 2017 The horse is a non-ruminant herbivore adapted to eating plant-fibre or forage-based diets. Some horses are stabled for most or the majority of the day with limited or no access to fresh pasture and are fed preserved forage typically as hay or haylage and
