Herbivores and fences

, 2023
Fenced areas are often illustrative of the role of herbivores in shaping vegetation [1]. Here is an example from Schönbuch Nature Park (south west of Stuttgart, Germany), where you can see how the vegetation is shaped by different densities of red deer (Cervus elaphus). Is this park-like landscape (Fig.

The Effects of L-Citrulline on the Apparent Digestion and Metabolism of Nutrients, Blood Hormone Levels, Amino Acid Metabolism and the Diversity of Faecal Microbiota in Mares in the Later Stage of Pregnancy

Life
This study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary L-citrulline supplementation on the health of mares during late gestation. Thirty-two healthy mares in late pregnancy were randomly assigned to four groups: a control group (CON, 0 g/d) and three ...

The role of abscisic acid and water stress in root herbivore-induced leaf resistance [PDF]

, 2010
Herbivore-induced systemic resistance occurs in many plants and is commonly assumed to be adaptive. The mechanisms triggered by leaf-herbivores that lead to systemic resistance are largely understood, but it remains unknown how and why root herbivory ...

Growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal microbial diversity and volatile fatty acid, and blood biochemical indices of suckling donkeys fed diets supplemented with multienzymes

BMC Veterinary Research
Background As the foal grows, the amount of breast milk produced by the donkey decreases. In such cases, early supplemental feeding is particularly important to meet the growth needs of the foal.
