Dietary supplementation of lemongrass powder (0.50 g per kg metabolic body weight) with a basal diet significantly enhanced lamb daily gain, growth velocity, feed efficiency and nutrient digestibility. It increased serum high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), albumin and IgG concentrations, while reducing aspartate aminotransferase (AST ...

Measuring the effectiveness of conservation: a novel framework to quantify the benefits of sage-grouse conservation policy and easements in Wyoming. [PDF]
Increasing energy and housing demands are impacting wildlife populations throughout western North America. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a species known for its sensitivity to landscape-scale disturbance, inhabits the same low ...

Identifying climate‐change refugia for species management and conservation in the Pacific Northwest
Abstract The impacts of climate change are already affecting many species and habitats, presenting challenges for species management and conservation. Protecting climate refugia—areas buffered from climate shifts where species can persist despite broader changes—has been proposed as a tool for managing species under climate change.

Tree Cover Mapping for Assessing Greater Sage-Grouse Habitat in Eastern Oregon [PDF]
We used a predictive model to map canopy cover of vegetation over seven feet in height ( tall woody vegetation ) at 30-meter resolution over nearly 29 million acres within and adjacent to the range of the greater sage-grouse in Oregon (Figure 1). Texture

Blood sausages are made from edible by‐products of the slaughterhouse and other ingredients. Ingredients in the formulation influence the quality of the final product; therefore, this study aimed to determine the nutritional, textural and sensory characteristics of pig blood sausages prepared with distinct meat and cereal fillers to ascertain a trade ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

First American peoples have relied on cultural burning to manage their lands and sustain healthy ecosystems, but modern agricultural practices and fire suppression have led to widespread juniper tree infestation in areas like Oklahoma. In response, the Chickasaw Nation developed an open‐source methodology, model and resulting decision‐support tool to ...

Microhabitat Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse Hens During Brood Rearing
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined throughout the western United States over the past century. Loss of large stands of sagebrush is a major factor leading to the decline of sage-grouse populations.
