Aerobic stability of heat and orchardgrass round-bale silage [PDF]
In Arkansas, silage is typically stored as balage in long rows of round bales wrapped in plastic film. It is important to evaluate the aerobic stability of this fermented forage when it is exposed to air, especially during the winter months when most of ...

Harnessing the Nutritional Value, Therapeutic Applications, and Environmental Impact of Mushrooms
Mushrooms are highly nutritious, packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential amino acids, and bioactive compounds. They offer various health benefits, including boosting immunity, reducing inflammation, and supporting gut and cardiovascular health. Rich in carbohydrates, quality protein, essential fatty acids, and both soluble and insoluble

A note on the evaluation of the acid-insoluble ash technique as a method for determining apparent diet digestibility in beef cattle. [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe objective was to determine if the acid-insoluble ash (AIA) method provided accurate estimates of in vivo apparent digestibility compared with the standard total faecal collection (TFC) method.

Abstract Rainfed agriculture is crucial for ensuring global food and water security, and supplementary irrigation is an effective means of improving the economic benefits in rainfed agricultural regions. This study proposes a novel uncertain optimization approach to optimize supplementary irrigation areas in rainfed agricultural regions.

Sodium Retention in Large Herbivores: Physiological Insights and Zoogeochemical Consequences
Sodium travels twice as fast through the bodies of large herbivores in urine than feces. The specific pathway of element assimilation, retention and release exerts an important constraint on the contributions of wildlife and domestic livestock to nutrient recycling and redistribution.

Non-GMO Corn Silage Variety Trial [PDF]
In 2017, the University of Vermont Extension Northwest Crops and Soils Program evaluated yield and quality of 11 non-GMO corn silage varieties in Franklin, VT. An emerging non-GMO milk market has prompted some dairy farmers to start growing non-GMO corn.

Between Two Extremes: Tripsacum dactyloides Root Anatomical Responses to Drought and Waterlogging
ABSTRACT Plant roots are the critical interface between plants, soil, and microorganisms, and respond dynamically to changes in water availability. Although anatomical adaptations of roots to water stress (e.g., the formation of root cortical aerenchyma) are well documented, it remains unclear whether these responses manifest along the length of ...
