A Comparison of the Digestibility of Atlas Sorgo Silages with Corn Silage

Journal of Dairy Science, 1961
Summary Silages made from component parts of Atlas sorgo plants were compared in digestion trials to silages made from two corn hybrids and RS 301, a sterile hybrid sorghum. Of the silages tested, Coker 911 corn silage had the most TDN. The Dixie 82 corn silage and RS 301 sorghum silage were very similar in TDN content.

Torture and scepticism in Papua New Guinea witch hunts Torture et scepticisme dans les chasses aux sorcières en Papouasie‐Nouvelle‐Guinée

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
For over a century, anthropologists have documented the many institutions that exist to respond to witchcraft and the uncanny that it names: oracles that attempt to produce certainty by naming the witch; moots in which grievances are aired; trials in magistrates’ courts that attempt to satisfy the community while preserving the life of the accused ...

Prediction of silage intake by cattle

, 1975
SUMMARYIn a series of feeding trials, measurements were made of silage drymatter (DM) content and pH, animal live weight and intake of DM other than silage. Silage intake has been related to these measurements by multiple regression. Subsequently, within

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Beyond the Individual: Multisite Population‐Level Consequences of Road Mortality on a Declining Mammal

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used a comparative study design to quantify population densities, structure, survival, cause‐specific mortality and female productivity in four West‐European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) populations, and to forecast the impact of road mortality on population viability.

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.

Prevalence of peripheral dental caries and diastemata in horses fed high‐carbohydrate diets

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Peripheral dental caries and diastemata impair equine oral health. Diets rich in soluble carbohydrates are suspected risk factors, but few studies have assessed their impact. In Brazil, sugarcane is widely used as a forage source due to its availability and low cost.

Empirical prediction of organic matter digestibility in grasses, legumes and their mixtures from dairy farms in Atlantic Spain

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study characterized the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of herbage from commercial dairy farms in Galicia (NW Spain), a humid‐temperate Atlantic region, and developed empirical prediction equations for OMD based on routine wet‐chemistry traits.

Population dynamics and reproductive success of Short‐eared Owls in relation to widely fluctuating food abundance and farmland habitat degradation

Ibis, EarlyView.
Populations of the Short‐eared Owl Asio flammeus have declined across Europe and North America, probably in response to habitat degradation driven by agricultural intensification. However, long‐term evidence linking farmland habitat change to variation in breeding density and reproductive success remains limited.

Biological ensilage of fish : optimization of stability, safety and functionality [PDF]

, 2002
This thesis deals with stability, safety, and functionality aspects of biological fish silage (BFS) obtained by lactic acid fermentation. BFS may provide an economically viable, environment friendly way of upgrading fish waste.BFS has been found ...
