Nature, 1959 AS early as 1926 Dohrn et al. 1 discovered the œstrogenic activity of plant material. It was only in 1944 that Bennets2 described disorders in sheep originating from œstrogens in pasture with a high content of subterranean clover (var. Dwalganup). Bartlett et al.

The Pasture-Type Approach for Mountain Pasture Description and Management
Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2012 The study of pastoral resources can take different approaches with the main goal of characterizing pasture vegetation and its potential carrying capacity. In recent times, the pasture-type approach has been developed in several Alpine areas – on a regional and on a district scale – starting from sward surveys carried out taking the approach formerly ...

Indirect measurement of pasture mass and pasture growth rate on sheep and beef pastures
Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 2008 This study aimed to develop calibrations for the measurement of pasture mass and pasture growth rate on sheep and beef pastures. Herbage within quadrats (0.12-0.2 m2) was measured with either an electronic rising plate meter (RPM) (n=2279), capacitance pasture meter (CPM) (n=693) or pasture ruler (n=2528) for the development of linear and curvilinear ...

USE OF PASTURES AND PASTURE-EQUIVALENTS IN PIG-KEEPING
Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1936 THEKE are great variations in the degree of success with which pastures are being utilized in pig-keeping. These variations are due primarily to differences in the extent to which pasture utilization by pigs is based upon the following important facts.

The Management of Pastures for Grazing
Outlook on Agriculture, 1995 This article examines pasture management in moist temperate climates, and looks at the reasons why putting the findings into practice has been so difficult. Many factors affect the behaviour of the animal-pasture system, including whether continuous or rotational grazing is practised, the intensity of grazing, and seasonal differences in climate and ...

Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1975 Between 1962 and 1964, fungus spores were trapped periodically from pastures of different types at Rothamsted and from those elsewhere on which animals had been affected by grass sickness or photosensitization. Usually, catches were greatest between June and August with Cladosporium predominant, accounting for up to 98% of the total.

DataIdentifying the plant species comprising a pasture, among other aspects, is crucial for assessing its nutritional value for grazing animals and facilitating its effective management. Traditionally, it requires labor-intensive visual inspection. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a solution for automatic classification, yet robust datasets for training
