Feeding Management of African Rhinos (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in European Zoos

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 109-123, March/April 2026.
The average estimated diets (in % dry matter) of white rhinos (C. simum) and black rhinos (D. bicornis) in European zoos differ in the proportion of (pelleted) compound feed and other non‐forage items. The reason for this difference is elusive but possibly related to creating more complicated diets for browsers. ABSTRACT White rhinos (WR, Ceratotherium

Insecticide‐level pest control provided by in‐field flower strips

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings indicate that in‐field flower strips or derived legume‐based intercropping systems can help reduce reliance on pesticide use in agriculture. Abstract Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has declined significantly due to intensified farming practices, underscoring the need for sustainable pest management.

Harnessing Bioactive‐Rich Forage Species in Multi‐Species Grasslands: Where Do We Stand? Challenges and Future Perspectives

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT The integration of bioactive‐rich forage species into multi‐species grassland systems represents a promising strategy to enhance ruminant productivity and mitigate environmental impacts. Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) provide a range of biofunctional properties, including the reduction of enteric methane (CH4) emissions, urinary nitrogen ...

RNA‐Seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes linked to seed size variation in sainfoin

Grassland Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 123-133, April 2026.
Abstract Sainfoin is a perennial forage legume with many desirable characteristics such as easy to establish, bloat‐free trait for grazing ruminants and providing pollinator habitat and biological nitrogen fixation to soil. However, adoption of this species is often hindered by high seed cost associated with its larger seed size compared to other ...

Morphological and biochemical responses of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) ecotypes to salinity

LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, 2017
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different NaCl concentrations (0, 100 and 150 mM) on the morphological and biochemical parameters of different sainfoin ecotypes ‘Koçaº’, ‘Malya,’ ‘Altýnova’ and ‘Ulaþ’ under controlled conditions. The morphological parameters included seed germination, seedling and root lengths, and seedling fresh and

Soil Physical Health in Mixed Crop Rotations: Roles of Grassland Proportion, Cattle Manure and Grass‐Mixture Diversity

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrating grasslands into cropping systems has benefits for nutrient cycling and weed control. Beyond that, grasslands are also recognized for their ability to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural stability (SS). This study examined how grassland proportion, fertilization and grassland mixture, both during the grassland phase and

Soil Carbon Storage, Enzymatic Stoichiometry, and Ecosystem Functions in Indian Himalayan Legume-Diversified Pastures

Land
The influences of legume diversification on soil carbon (C) pools and sequestration, particularly in Himalayan pastureland, remain poorly understood. Moreover, the impact of legume diversification activities and the stoichiometry of soil enzymes in C ...

Beneficial Effects of Temperate Forage Legumes that Contain Condensed Tannins

Agriculture, 2015
The two temperate forage legumes containing condensed tannins (CT) that promote ruminant production are birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.; BFT) and sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.; SF). Both are well-adapted to the cool-temperate climate and

The response of various ecotypes of common sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia L.) to the foliar application of nitrogen, iron and zinc in a cold climate of

پژوهشهای زراعی ایران, 2009
Common sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia L.) is a forage crop belonging to the legume family. The crop is characterized by numerous favorable criteria such as the capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen symbiotically.
