Generic Behavior of Grazing Impact Oscillators [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 1996 We give experimental evidence for a new bifurcation structure that arises when smooth dynamical systems cross a boundary. Our experiment concerns a driven impacting leaf-spring oscillator with a very precise control of the driving amplitude. The results are in surprisingly good agreement with the predictions of a simple nonlinear mapping that is valid ...

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Rearing dairy calves with their mothers could teach them how to graze, optimizing grass use, and improving their welfare and performance. We tested the short-term effects of dam-calf contact experience on grazing and social behavior of weaned calves ...

Grazing behavior and winter phytoplankton accumulation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 Abstract. Recent observations have shown that phytoplankton biomass increases in the North Atlantic during winter, even when the mixed layer is deepening and light is limited. Current theories suggest that this is due to a release from grazing pressure.

Journal of Agricultural Studies, 2022 This study evaluated the relationships between supplement intake behavior, beef cattle performance, and grazing behavior on dormant northern mixed-grass rangelands. In each of two years, a commercial herd of bred cows grazed a rangeland pasture from November to January. All cattle were managed as one contemporary group.

Lameness and lying behavior in grazing dairy cows [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2019 Lameness is a serious welfare issue for dairy cows. To date, the majority of studies have focused on its effect on health and behavior at the herd level. The objectives of this study were to identify (1) between-cow and (2) within-cow changes in lying behavior associated with consistent and changing lameness status in grazing dairy cows.

Animals, 2022 Species-rich pastures naturally contain potentially toxic plants such as common ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L.), whose pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) impose a risk, mainly for cattle and horses.

Animals, 2019 Different grazing management systems are practiced on upland dairy farms during summer, depending on topography, local traditions, and infrastructure. The present experiment compared two distinct management systems with respect to feeding behavior and ...

Infection by Parorchis acanthus (Trematoda) decreases grazing by the keystone gastropod, Littoraria irrorata [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Parasites are well-known to alter the behavior of their hosts, but there is still a paucity of knowledge about how parasites modify the behavior of many ecologically influential host species.
