Bioactive forage and phytotherapy to cure and control endo-parasite diseases in sheep and goat farming systems – a review of current scientific knowledge [PDF]
Infestation with gastro-intestinal nematodes (GIN) in small ruminants can cause severe economic losses and endanger animal welfare. The development of organic farming systems, the increased public awareness for drug residues in agricultural products and ...

On the trails of Josias Braun-Blanquet : changes in the grasslands of the inneralpine dry valleys during the last 70 years. First results from the 11th EDGG Field Workshop in Austria [PDF]
The 11th EDGG Field Workshop was held from 6 to 13 July 2018 in Austria. Its aim was to revisit dry grasslands in the inneralpine dry valleys of Austria that were investigated in the late 1950s by Braun-Blanquet and to collect high-quality biodiversity ...

Rehabilitated richness: biodiversity recovery in Germany's gypsum post‐mining landscapes
In light of European and international mandates to protect natural areas in order to preserve biodiversity, all unused or abandoned areas become invaluable resources. We examined the botanical and structural diversity of post‐mining areas and surrounding landscapes across four major mining regions in Germany over a year‐long study.

An Irish farmer survey found that multispecies swards can reduce fertiliser use and enhance drought resilience and biodiversity. While awareness is high, adoption is limited by challenges like weed control and grazing management. Farmers want clearer guidance and prefer learning through hands‐on events like open days and discussion groups.

Abstract Herbaceous perennial crops, which only recently entered the domestication pipeline, offer the potential of ecological benefits in agricultural systems but remain underdeveloped, partly due to slow breeding cycles. Early‐stage phenomic selection, the process of using high‐dimensional secondary traits to predict target traits, may accelerate ...

Antioxidant Activity, Total Phenolic and Flavonoid Contents of Three Onobrychis Species from Iran
Background: Plant phenolic compounds are a main group of plant natural products and flavonoids are the largest and best studied natural phenols. These substances possess a series of biological properties and act on biological systems as antioxidants.

Tanniferous forage plants with anthelmintic properties: the example of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) [PDF]
Introduction: Sainfoin is a high-quality condensed tannin containing forage plant. The knowledge about anthelmintic effects against sheep nematodes and about the influence of plant preservation (e.g.

Mixing alfalfa with tannin‐rich forages is an effective way to improve rumen fermentation. Lespedeza bicolor showed a more prominent effect on reducing gas and methane production than Polygonum viviparum when mixed with alfalfa. When the mixing ratio of tannin‐rich forages and alfalfa was below the threshold of 40:60, the overall fermentation of the ...
