Forb-rich silage feeding increases milk n-3 and n-6 fatty acid content in practical dairy farming: results from three Danish organic farms

Journal of Applied Animal Research
Milk production and milk fatty acid (FA) composition were followed in three Danish commercial organic dairy farms where grass clover silage was substituted with a forb-rich silage.

Carbon sequestration strategies for climate resilience: Sorghum‐based innovations for sustainable agriculture in dryland regions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is intensifying heat, drought, and food insecurity, threatening dryland farming and carbon management worldwide. We reviewed research on sorghum, a drought‐adapted C4 crop, covering physiology, roots, biomass allocation, soil carbon, bioenergy, breeding, phenotyping, management, and policy.

Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Seed viability of feathertop Rhodes grass (Chloris virgata Sw.) reduced by silage, digestion, and sheep rumen digestion

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
Weed seeds can be spread by different vectors, and seed dispersal is an important mechanism for the weed to persist. Weed seeds passaging through the digestive tract of a ruminant animal is expected to result in reduced viability.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Population dynamics and reproductive success of Short‐eared Owls in relation to widely fluctuating food abundance and farmland habitat degradation

Ibis, EarlyView.
Populations of the Short‐eared Owl Asio flammeus have declined across Europe and North America, probably in response to habitat degradation driven by agricultural intensification. However, long‐term evidence linking farmland habitat change to variation in breeding density and reproductive success remains limited.
