Nutritional imbalances and reduced forage production under intra-seasonal drought are alleviated by irrigation in tropical forage grasses [PDF]
Scientific ReportsForage production is affected by water deficit, but it is not known how grasses cope with dry periods during the rainy season and how irrigation can be used during dry periods in pastures. This field study analyzed the effects of water deficit during the

Selection of forage grasses for cultivation under water-limited conditions using Manhattan distance and TOPSIS. [PDF]
PLoS ONEExtreme weather events, such as severe droughts, pose a threat to the sustainability of beef cattle by limiting the growth and development of forage plants and reducing the available pasture for animals.

How Long Should Grasses of South American Campos Grasslands Rest for Stockpiling Forage?
AgronomyStockpiling forage (i.e., deferring grazing) is one way to provide forage for livestock during intervals of low pasture growth, but there are trade-offs as nutrient content declines with increasing forage maturity.

Forage selection of dairy cows grazing contrasting multispecies swards is influenced by cow characteristics [PDF]
Veterinary and Animal ScienceArtificial pastures for dairy cows often comprise a small number of plant species, which limits the animals’ opportunity for forage selection. Despite being a natural behaviour observed in many ruminants, little is known about the factors influencing ...

Breeding of comb-wheatgrass (Agropyron pectiniforme Roem. et Schult.) for arid conditions of the steppe zone [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 In the context of the progressive trend of climate aridization of the main agricultural regions in the forest-steppe and steppe zones, the problem of increasing and stabilizing the high productivity of forage crops is becoming more acute.

Productivity and nutrient export in a maize and forage grasses intercropping under semiarid conditions [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Saúde e Produção Animal, 2023 The aim was to evaluate the productive performance and nutrient export of maize intercropped with drought-tolerant forage grasses. The experimental design was a randomized blocks in a 2x2x2+1 factorial scheme (two forage grasses species – Massai and ...
