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.

Annual and seasonal changes in production and composition of grazed clover-grass mixtures in organic farming [PDF]
, 2004 A grazed field experiment based on a randomised block design was conducted in Eastern Finland to evaluate the potential of alsike clover (Trifoliun hybridum L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) to support herbage

Increasing Grazing in Dairy Cow Milk Production Systems in Europe
Sustainability, 2020 In temperate regions of Europe where grass grows for most of the year, grazed pasture is the lowest cost feed for milk production. Grazed pasture can make a contribution to dairy cow feeding systems in other parts of Europe, but is less important.

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,

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 of Dairy Cows in Europe—An In-Depth Analysis Based on the Perception of Grassland Experts
, 2020 Grazing is inherently close to the nature of herbivores, but no longer applied everywhere in Europe. Therefore, the perception of grassland experts on the occurrence, importance, constraints, solutions and future of grazing of dairy cows was studied. The

Grazing-induced biodiversity loss impairs grassland ecosystem stability at multiple scales.
Ecology Letters, 2020 Livestock grazing is a major driver shaping grassland biodiversity, functioning and stability. Whether grazing impacts on grassland ecosystems are scale-dependent remains unclear.

A Global Meta-Analysis of Grazing Impacts on Soil Health Indicators.
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2018 Grazing lands support the livelihoods of millions of people across nearly one-half of the globe. Soils are the backbone of stability and resilience in these systems.

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
