Use of natural ensiling additives with tropical grasses: Physicochemical properties, in vitro fermentation characteristics, and microbial community diversity indices

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Improving feed quality, availability, and cost‐effectiveness is a big challenge for livestock to ensure animal‐derived food for nutritional security. The aim of the study was to find out how some natural ensiling additives affect physicochemical properties, proximate composition, microbial population, in vitro fermentation ...

Sensorial and nutritional qualities of muscles from cross‐bred Salers heifers raised on mid‐mountain pasture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...

Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.

Spatial Patterns, Driving Forces, and Potential Grain Losses of Non‐Grain Production of Farmland in Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expansion of farmland non‐grain production (NGP) poses a potential threat to food security and agricultural land protection, particularly in mountainous urban agglomerations. However, the utilization patterns, driving mechanisms, and associated production‐loss effects of farmland NGP in this specific regional context remain insufficiently ...

Effect of cattle grazing a species-rich mountain pasture under different stocking rates on the dynamics of diet selection and sward structure

Animal, 2007
Although stocking rate is a key management variable influencing the structure and composition of pastures, only few studies have simultaneously analysed the seasonal patterns of pasture use by cattle, and the adjustments the animals make to maintain ...
