Accessible ecophysiological tools for seabird conservation
Abstract Seabirds are the most endangered avian taxa on Earth, with over a third of species globally threatened. To help slow their decline, conservation physiology seeks to determine how seabird responses to climatic and anthropogenic threats influence demographic processes, but it is not widely utilized in monitoring.

Protein fractions of intercropped pea and oat for ruminant nutrition [PDF]
The quantification of the main crude protein (CP) fractions during the growing period of pea and oat mixtures may be used to optimize the forage management. The determination of protein fraction could improve balancing rations for ruminants.

Impact of non-protein nitrogen substances on grape pomace silage quality [PDF]
In this study grape pomace was ensilaged without and with the addition of NPN substances (Benural) at the dose of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% of the amount of husk and with the addition of inoculant based on homo and hetero fermentative lactic acid bacteria.

Report on the forage and feed product flow in Kenya (Busia, Bungoma, Kakamega and Siaya Counties) [PDF]
Kenyan economy expanded 4.7% in 2017 and 6% in 2018 (World Bank, 2018). This growth was mainly supported by growth in agricultural output, among other steady economic growths such as industrial activity and service sectors.

Starvation Dynamics of a Greedy Forager [PDF]
We investigate the dynamics of a greedy forager that moves by random walking in an environment where each site initially contains one unit of food. Upon encountering a food-containing site, the forager eats all the food there and can subsequently hop an additional $\mathcal{S}$ steps without food before starving to death.
