Diet‐Related Differences Predominate Over Breed‐Associated Differences in Hepatic Lipid Metabolism, Antioxidant Vitamins and Lipid Quality Indices Among Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how nutritional management and genetic background influence hepatic metabolism is important for improving the nutritional quality of bovine products in tropical production systems. This study evaluated breed‐associated differences under a common dietary regimen and diet‐related differences within the Nelore breed with respect to ...

Genotype‐Dependent Chemical Diversity and Bioactivity in Purple Elephant Grass: A Metabolomics‐Guided Evaluation for Animal Nutrition

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purple elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone) is a valuable forage crop with potential bioactive properties that influence animal health. This study presents a comprehensive metabolomic characterization of two purple elephant grass genotypes (T441 and T515) using high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), molecular networking ...

Ensiling maize or elephant grass with olive cake: effect on fermentation, chemical composition and aerobic stability of silages [PDF]

Ciência Rural
: Olive cake (OC) is a wet by-product of olive processing that may be used as animal feedstuff. Our objective was to investigate the impact of adding OC on fermentation and aerobic stability of maize and grass silages. Whole-crop maize (326 g dry matter (

Sugar and Acids in Grass Silage

Journal of Dairy Science, 1953
Summary Sugar and acid values for 37 lots of silage made in 1951 and sugar values for the original green crops (plus preservatives or conditioners) from which the silages were made are summarized and reported. Variations in the values for the several lots are discussed, and possible explanations are offered. Of most interest are the apparently quite

Relationships Among Absorbents on the Reduction of Grass Silage Effluent and Silage Quality

Journal of Dairy Science, 1998
Effluent from grass silage is a threat to water quality and a loss of valuable forage nutrients from dairy farms. Absorbents potentially reduce effluent loss when weather conditions are not ideal for field wilting. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of various absorbents at reducing silage effluent.

Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1035-1047, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Coping With Production Risk: Effects of Sown Plant Diversity on the Attractiveness of Crop Insurance in Grasslands

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1119-1134, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...
