Transcriptomic insights into selenium‐mediated mitigation of low‐temperature stress in alfalfa

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most important forage crop in northern China, suffers from low-temperature (LT) stress, which significantly impairs its yield.

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.

Electrode and Microstructure Dependence of Oxygen Diffusion in Ferroelectric Hafnium Zirconium Oxide Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Significant nanoscale oxygen diffusion coefficient variations are measured in ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide films with grain boundaries and electrode interfaces exhibiting values 104 times larger than the grain cores. Overall coefficients are 10X larger for films prepared with metal nitride electrodes compared to refractory metals. New insights

Operational strategies for optimizing grazing when using automatic milking systems in organic dairy production [PDF]

, 2013
Successful grazing when using AMS is possible without having to devote a great deal of time to organize and fetch cows every day. However, a careful strategy and good infrastructure, and observation of cow behaviour and pasture are necessary, and the ...

Stocking density adjustment optimises grazing and limits soil ingestion of beef-on-dairy heifers

Italian Journal of Animal Science
Grazing conditions that optimise herbage utilisation, together with reduced involuntary soil ingestion by livestock, may improve profitability and lower risks for animal health and food safety. Here, we assessed herbage consumption and selection and soil

Semiconducting Polymers Post‐Functionalized With Ureido‐Pyrimidinone for Robust Stretchable Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The design of intrinsically robust stretchable semiconducting polymers was achieved through OTBS‐mediated post‐functionalization of PDPP2T side chains with UPy units, generating dual hydrogen‐bonding motifs comprising weaker urethane linkages and strong quadruple UPy interactions along the long alkyl side chain, which is crucial for achieving desirable

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,

COMPARISONS OF CATTLE GRAZING AND SHEEP GRAZING

Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1976
Controversy has surrounded the possible differences in pasture production which result from grazing by cattle or sheep. Experiments conducted over the 1972-76 period show that pasture production under grazing by sheep is greater than under grazing by cattle under similar intensive managements.
