<b>Forage mass and nutritive value of bermuda grass mixed to forage peanut or common vetch [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum. Animal Sciences, 2016 Three pasture-based systems (PS) with bermuda grass (BG) + forage peanut + 75 kg of N ha-1; BG + common vetch + 75 kg of N ha-1 and BG + 150 kg of N ha-1 were evaluated. Lactating Holstein cows were used for evaluation and the experimental design was completely randomized.

Optimal distributions of central-place foragers: honey bee foraging in a mass flowering crop
Behavioral Ecology, 2022 AbstractThe ideal-free distribution and central-place foraging are important ecological models that can explain the distribution of foraging organisms in their environment. However, this model ignores distance-based foraging costs from a central place (hive, nest), whereas central-place foraging ignores competition.

Effects of maternal age and mass on foraging behaviour and foraging success in the northern elephant seal [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2013 SummaryAnimals that show indeterminate growth and put relatively constant proportions of stored body reserves towards annual reproductive effort are confronted with a problem of meeting ever‐increasing energetic demands in unpredictable environments.We examined how intrinsic traits, mass and age, as well as extrinsic environmental features impact ...

Mass Fluctuations Suggest Different Functions of Bimodal Foraging Trips in a Central-place Forager [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2012 The function of a foraging trip (self-feeding or provisioning) and the spatial distribution of food resources play an essential role in foraging decisions of central-place foragers. Theory predicts that if foraging patches optimal for self-feeding and provisioning are spatially separated, a bimodal foraging strategy should often be favored.

Effects of Row Spacing on Yield and Quality of Forage Pea (Pisum sativum ssp. arvense) [PDF]
, 2022 Peas are globally used as forage, haylage, silage or straw in ruminants’ diet. Winter forage pea is also becoming an important forage crop, particularly for haylage production in Türkiye.

Monitoring Forage Mass with Low-Cost UAV Data: Case Study at the Rengen Grassland Experiment
PFG – Journal of Photogrammetry Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Science, 2020 Monitoring and predicting above ground biomass yield of grasslands are of key importance for grassland management. Established manual methods such as clipping or rising plate meter measurements provide accurate estimates of forage yield, but are time ...
