Profitability of organic and conventional dairy production with different dietary proportions of high-quality grass silage [PDF]

, 2013
Profitability in milk production was calculated using diets with three different proportions of high-quality grass silage. The treatments consisted of the same feeds, but differed in the dietary proportion of forage: low (L), medium (M) and high (H ...

Temporal Dynamics of Soil Organic Carbon Contents in Long‐Term Monitored Arable Sites in Lower Saxony, Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temporal changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) contents in agricultural soils are variable, and underlying drivers are not sufficiently understood. Aim The objectives were to describe the long‐term dynamics of SOC contents at 41 sites in Lower Saxony, Germany, and to analyze the relationships between estimated long‐term changes of ...

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 ...

Effects of silage from maize crops differing in maturity at harvest, grass silage feed value and concentrate feed level on performance of finishing lambs

Animal, 2013
The effects of (i) medium and high feed value (MFV and HFV) maize silages and (ii) MFV and HFV grass silages, each in combination with a range of concentrate feed levels, on the performance of finishing lambs were evaluated using 280 Suffolk-X lambs ...

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 ...

Understanding natural variation in milk lipids: why parity and lactation stage matter for nutritional value

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Bovine milk is a major dietary source of lipids whose fatty acid (FA) profile shapes its nutritional and technological quality, yet its natural variation is commonly described using fixed days‐in‐milk windows that ignore individual peak‐yield timing and parity‐specific metabolism.

Effect of maize silage supplementation to grass silage harvested at different maturity stages on ad libitum intake

Mljekarstvo, 2008
The objective of the investigation was to determine ad libitum intake of fresh ration, dry matter (DM) and the organic matter (OM) of grass silage from the primary growth harvested at different maturity stages in interaction with maize silage (33 % and ...
