Rangelands production modeling using an artificial neural network (ANN) and geographic information system (GIS) in Baladeh rangelands, North Iran [PDF]

open access: yesCaspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2020
Rangelands production measurement is time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, models are often employed to simulate rangelands conditions as a supplement. Artificial neural network (ANN) is widely used for modeling in environmental studies, yet it cannot

Removal of sorghum stover from feed choices has no confounding effect on the quantity and quality of diets selected by group or individually fed sheep

open access: yesJournal of Applied Animal Research, 2023
The study determined the effect of reducing dietary ingredients and group feeding on diet selection, nutrient intake and digestibility in choice-fed sheep. Three feeds comprising of veld hay (VH), sorghum stover (SS) and maize stover (MS) were offered ad-
