Effect of supplemental feeding on metabolic profiles and meat quality in yaks: a non-targeted metabolomics approach [PDF]
Food Science of Animal ResourcesThe traditional grazing system of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau faces challenges such as feed shortages, despite the abundance of pastures during the warm season.

Spatial Distribution of Highland Cattle in Alnus viridis Encroached Subalpine Pastures
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Green alder (Alnus viridis) is a shrub species that has expanded over former pastures in Central Europe due to land abandonment, leading to negative agri-environmental impacts, such as a reduction in forage yield and quality and an increase in nitrate ...

Grazing lawns and overgrazing in frequently grazed grass communities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 AbstractFrequent grazing can establish high forage value grazing lawns supporting high grazer densities, but can also produce overgrazed grass communities with unpalatable or low grass basal cover, supporting few grazers. Attempts to create grazing lawns via concentrated grazing, with a goal to increase grazer numbers, are thus risky without knowing ...

Does Low-Density Grazing Affect Butterfly (Lepidoptera) Colonization of a Previously Flooded Tallgrass Prairie Reconstruction? [PDF]
, 2018 Conservation of wildlife in managed landscapes can be facilitated by partnering with livestock producers to introduce grazing disturbances. The effects of grazing in grassland systems, however, are often a function of other disturbances that may occur ...

Grazing impact oscillations [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2000 An impact oscillator is a periodically driven system that hits a wall when its amplitude exceeds a critical value. We study impact oscillations where collisions with the wall are with near-zero velocity (grazing impacts). A characteristic feature of grazing impact dynamics is a geometrically converging series of transitions from a nonimpacting period-1

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018 Purpose: The purposes of this study were to characterise the migration and the colonisation dynamics of two different fluorescent-tagged rhizobia in various alfalfa tissues (especially in seeds); and also to develop efficient inoculation treatments to ...

Animal, 2020 An understanding of the processes involved in grazing behaviour is a prerequisite for the design of efficient grassland management systems. The purpose of managing the grazing process is to identify sward structures that can maximize animal forage daily ...
