Ecological benefits of strategically applied livestock grazing in sagebrush communities

Ecosphere
There are concerns about the negative consequences of non‐native livestock grazing of sagebrush communities, especially since these communities are experiencing unpreceded threats from invasive annual grasses, altered fire regimes, and climate change ...

EVOLUTION OF DAIRY GRAZING IN THE 1990'S [PDF]

A literature review of selected items from 1985 to 2002 shows the evolution of management intensive grazing (MIG) with emphasis primarily on Michigan, and secondarily on the Great Lakes Region. There are sections on 1) Using Pasture, 2) The Technology of

CO‐Adsorption on MgO Revisited: Polarization‐Resolved Identification of Step Edges as the Dominant Defects on MgO(100) and MgO(110)

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
By combining polarization‐resolved IRRAS with hybrid HSE06 DFT calculations, we establish site‐specific vibrational fingerprints, adsorption geometries, and binding energies for CO on wide‐band‐gap MgO surfaces. Low‐coordinated Mg4c2+ step‐edge sites, rather than terrace Schottky defects, are identified as the dominant binding and reactive sites, with ...

Perspectives on conservation grazing: The need for monitoring and communication

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Conservation grazing is widely used to manage open ecosystems, but inconsistent definitions and inadequate reporting of grazing patterns hinder effective communication among researchers, practitioners and policymakers, limiting the understanding and ...

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...

Performance and parasitosis in heifers grazing mixed with sows [PDF]

, 2000
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of mixed grazing with first season heifers and pregnant sows on animal performance, gastro-intestinal helminths, pasture quality and sward structure during three grazing seasons.

The impact of different grazing intensity and management measures on soil organic carbon density in Zhangye grassland

Scientific Reports
Studying the spatial and temporal changes of grassland soil organic carbon (SOC) is helpful in promote the management of regional ecosystem carbon sinks. Grazing is one of the main ways of rational utilization of grassland.

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Urine patch distribution under dairy grazing at three stocking rates in Ireland [PDF]

, 2011
peer-reviewedNitrate pollution of water is a serious global environmental issue. Grassland agriculture is a major source of diffuse nitrate pollution, with much of this nitrate originating from the urine patches of grazing animals.
