Contribution of Native Pasture to the Sensory Properties of Ragusano Cheese [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2004
Ragusano is a Protected Denomination of Origin cheese produced in the Hyblean area of Sicily. Sixteen samples of Ragusano cheese from two different treatments [pasture and total mixed ration (TMR)] were evaluated after 4 and 7 mo of aging. The color of the cheeses produced from milk of cows consuming fresh native pasture plants was much more yellow ...

Nitrogen and energy utilization and methane emissions of sheep grazing on annual pasture vs. native pasture [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in annual pasture and native pasture on dry matter (DM) intake, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) and energy utilization, and methane (CH4) emission of grazing sheep, and to provide the basis for rational livestock grazing in salinized regions.

A single application of fertilizer can affect semi-natural grassland vegetation over half a century

PLoS ONE, 2022
Restoration of species-rich semi-natural grassland requires not only a seed source but also appropriate soil properties. In Europe, approximately 10 years are required for the properties of fertilized soils to reach suitable conditions and be considered ...

Native and Dryland Pasture Seed Mixes Impact Revegetation 12 Years after Pipeline Construction in Southern Alberta

Land, 2023
Activities associated with agriculture, grazing, and the energy industry have altered large tracts of native rangeland in North America. Pipelining causes intense local disturbance by removal of vegetation and alterations to soil horizons.

Physical fractionation of organic carbon in areas under different land uses in the Cerrado [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2020
With the expansion of agricultural production, native Cerrado areas are replaced with other forms of land use. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate changes in the physical fractionation of organic carbon (C) in areas under different forms of
