Forage yield of tetraploid bahiagrass hybrids
Pesquisa Agropecuária Gaúcha, 2022 In Southern Brazil, much of the livestock activity is developed in native grasslands. Studies about forage traits, frost tolerance and nutritional value of native forage species there has been increasing with better results of productive efficiency ...

Responses pastures of Cynodon mixed with forage peanut in Southwestern of Paraná
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2016 The objective of this study was to evaluate the development, the botanical and structural components of Coastcross-1 and Tifton 85 pastures mixed with increasing inclusion of forage peanut (0, 25, 50, 75% occupancy area), submitted to cuts, from August ...

To eat and not be eaten: diurnal mass gain and foraging strategies in wintering great tits [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Adaptive theory predicts that the fundamental trade-off between starvation and predation risk shapes diurnal patterns in foraging activity and mass gain in wintering passerine birds. Foragers mitigating both types of risk should exhibit a bimodal distribution (increased foraging and mass gain early and late in the day), whereas both foraging and mass ...

Production and quality of tropical grasses at different regrowth intervals in the Brazilian semiarid
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2021 The objective of this study was to evaluate the production and chemical composition of three forage species at different regrowth intervals. A 3 x 4 randomized-block factorial design with three forage species (Andropogon, Buffel, and Massai) and four ...

Rising Plate Meter Calibrations for Forage Mass of Wheat and Rye [PDF]
Agricultural & Environmental Letters, 2019 Core Ideas The rising plate meter was useful in predicting forage mass. A quadratic functional form is favored for predicting forage mass using the rising plate meter. Relationships differed by species, season, and tillage Estimating forage availability is important in optimizing livestock stocking rates.
