Riparian Meadow Response to Modern Conservation Grazing Management. [PDF]

, 2017
Riparian meadows occupy a small proportion of the public lands in the western United States but they provide numerous ecosystem services, including the production of high-quality forage for livestock grazing.

Low-Intensity, High-Frequency Grazing Positively Affects Defoliating Behavior, Nutrient Intake and Blood Indicators of Nutrition and Stress in Sheep

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The intensity and frequency of grazing affect the defoliating strategy of ruminants, their daily nutrient intake, thus nutrition and physiological status.

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]

, 2015
Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

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

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

Effect of Source and Level of Dietary Supplementary Copper on In Vitro Rumen Fermentation in Growing Yaks

Fermentation, 2022
Copper (Cu) is essential for the health of livestock, however, the optimal source and level of dietary Cu for yaks are uncertain. To fill this important gap, we designed an in vitro study to examine the effects of three Cu sources, namely Cu methionine ...

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.

Comparative grazing behaviour of lactating suckler cows of contrasting genetic merit and genotype [PDF]

, 2018
peer-reviewedThe objective of this study was to determine if differences in grazing behaviour exist between lactating suckler cows diverse in genetic merit for the national Irish Replacement index and of two contrasting genotypes.

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 ...

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,
