Screening of Grasses’ Chemical Composition Variability and Methane Emissions in Colombian Livestock Ecoregions Using Digital Bromatology

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Grasses’ nutritional characteristics and management are fundamental for grazing cattle to guarantee sustainability in tropical conditions. This study aims to analyze the pastures’ chemical composition variability and methane emissions in different Colombian ecoregions and productive activities using digital bromatology data.

A review of pasture mixes and management strategies to reduce the impact of facial eczema in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1265-1287, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In New Zealand, facial eczema (FE) is a serious health and welfare issue for grazing ruminants caused by ingesting toxic spores of the fungus Pseudopithomyces chartarum. A literature review of research about the effect of pasture plant species, farm management practices and associated environmental factors on FE in New Zealand, was undertaken.

Pasture productivity in New Zealand 1990–2020: trends, expectations, and key factors

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1221-1264, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pasture productivity gains are critical for maintaining global competitiveness of New Zealand’s $38 billion p.a. animal product export industries. This review reveals that gains in pasture eaten on dairy farms declined sharply after ∼ 2001/02, from +1.48% yr−1 to +0.26% yr−1 despite continued increases in nitrogen (N) fertiliser use, stocking ...
