Dietary forage to concentrate ratios impact on yak ruminal microbiota and metabolites

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
To improve the rumen fermentation function and growth performance of yaks (Bos grunniens), better understanding of the effect of different dietary forage to concentrate ratios on rumen microbiota and metabolites is needed.

Milk composition changes and alterations in bacteria, serum, and gut metabolome over time in lactating yaks and Simmental cows [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying milk composition divergence between naks (female yaks) and Simmental cows (S-cows) by integrating longitudinal multi-omics analyses of gut microbiota and metabolomes. Methods We determined

Effects of high concentrate rations on ruminal fermentation and microbiota of yaks

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Ruminal microflora is closely correlated with the ruminant’s diet. However, information regarding the effect of high concentrate diets on rumen microflora in yaks is lacking. In the current study, 24 healthy male yaks were randomly assigned to two groups,

Sheep Grazing Impacts on Soil Health and Pasture Quality at Commercial Solar Sites in Northeastern USA

AgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
As solar sheep grazing continues to gain traction, it is important to emphasize soil health and pasture quality. Therefore, this study was performed to collect in-field data from 28 grazed and 3 non-grazed commercial solar sites to determine how grazing

Effects of different rest grazing periods on the reproduction and root characteristics of Carex capillifolia in subalpine meadow

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Carex capillifolia is a dominant subalpine meadow plant species with considerable ecological and economic value. We studied the effects of different springtime rest grazing periods on C. capillifolia reproduction and the root characteristics.

Average Daily Gain and Energy and Nitrogen Requirements of 4-Month-Old Female Yak Calves

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
There is little information available on milk intake and energy and nitrogen requirements of growing yak calves. This study aimed to fill this important gap, as this information could be beneficial in designing a system to wean yak calves earlier than in

Sheep grazing as sustainable vegetation management for solar energy production in the northeastern USA

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The expansion of solar photovoltaic production necessitates the need for vegetation management at solar sites. Solar grazing, an agrivoltaic (APV) approach involving vegetation management with livestock, is a rapidly growing solution to fill this need ...

Pyramidal Structures on Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia after High Temperature Exposure at 1500°C: New Features on an Old Material

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...
