Optimization of Alfalfa-Based Mixed Cropping with Winter Wheat and Ryegrass in Terms of Forage Yield and Quality Traits

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Forage has a significant association with animal nutrition because it is an essential part of milk and meat production in the livestock industry. Thus, for the production of high-quality forage, cereal–legume mixed cropping is an efficient method for ...

Maximizing Forage Yields in Corn Silage Systems with Winter Grains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Producing sufficient high quality forage on farms is becoming difficult given current economic and environmental pressures. Farmers are looking for strategies to improve yield and quality of their own forage to reduce the financial burden of purchasing ...

Comparison of Forage Yield and Quality of Forage Legume [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science and Technology, 2004
ABSTRACT Forage legumes are being used as an important source of protein for dairy farm as well as nitrogenfertilizer. This experiment was conducted to evaluate forage production and quality of five legumes at CheonanYonam College Experimental Livestock Farm for 1 year(2001 2002).

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

Forage Brassica Variety Trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Forage brassicas can provide a near-concentrate type diet late in the season, allow for an extra grazing opportunity after annual row crops are harvested, and establish forage to fill a gap in feed quality and supply.

Modern and Ancient Genomes Reveal Neolithic Paternal Expansions of Millet and Rice Farmers and Demic Diffusion from China into Mainland Southeast Asia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study clarifies the genetic patterns of paternal lineages across East Asia and Mainland Southeast Asia. Han populations are relatively homogeneous, whereas southern ethnolinguistic minorities display regional structures. Shared Y‐chromosome lineages indicate Neolithic expansions and extensive north‐south gene flow, supporting demic diffusion ...

Warm Season Annual Forage Performance Trials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In 2010, the University of Vermont Extension continued their research to evaluate warm season annual forage systems. Warm season annual forages include grasses such as sorghum, sudangrass, sorghumsudangrass, Japanese millet, and pearl millet varieties ...

Forage Quality of Winterhardy Lovegrasses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Range Management, 1986
Germplasm of Eragrostis curvula and E. lehmanniana was evaluated for in vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD), palatability (animal preference among genotypes), and forage vigor (weight/plant). Our objective was to determine if sufficient genetic variation was present among relatively winterhardy genotypes to develop new lovegrass varieties with ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

The geographical variation in grassland forage quality on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is driven mainly by climate

open access: yesEcological Processes
Background Forage quality is a fundamental determinant for livestock productivity in natural grasslands, and is sensitive to the variations in climate, soil, and plant community composition.
