Silage from heart-of-palm waste produced from Alexander palm tree

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2019
Background: Production of heart-of-palm from Alexander palm tree generates a waste that could be used as silage for feeding ruminants. Objective: To evaluate the chemical composition, fermentation parameters, and quality of silage made from waste of ...

Supplementing pasture-fed dairy cows with pasture silage, maize silage, Lotus silage or sulla silage in summer - does it increase production?

Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 2002
Forages suitable for supplementing pasture-fed dairy cows over summer-autumn must provide adequate dry matter (DM) and increase milk yield above that produced by cows grazing normal ryegrass/white clover pasture, without compromising milk composition.

Understanding Interactions Between Sustainable Development Goals Within and Between Policy Programmes: The Case of Kenya's Dairy Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving Agenda 2030 depends on addressing interactions between the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this paper, we conceptualize SDG interactions as synergies or trade‐offs, incoming or outgoing, and internal or external, and analyze how SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) interacts with other SDGs within and across policy programmes that support ...

Effects of bacterial silage inoculants on whole-crop maize silage fermentation and silage digestibility in rams

South African Journal of Animal Science, 2011
This study evaluated the effects of ensiling whole-crop maize with bacterial inoculants, Lactococcus lactis (LL) and Lactobacillus buchneri (LB), on the fermentation and nutrient digestibility in rams. Whole-crop maize (265 DM g/kg) was ensiled for 90 days in 210 L drums with no additive, or with LL or LB.

Business Model and Sustainable Development Goals for an Innovative Agricultural Waste Management: Distributed Biogas Production

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological progress and population growth have increased global pork demand; leading to a rise of methane emission from pig farming, a key contributor to climate change. Anaerobic digestion offers a sustainable solution by converting manure into biogas.

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

Comparison of the effects of rectal examination on heart rate and eye temperature in cattle of different parity

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rectal examination is a routine procedure in bovine reproductive management, but its physiological impact may vary depending on the cow's age and parity. Stress responses during such procedures can negatively affect animal welfare and compliance, especially in inexperienced animals.

Contrasting drivers of phosphorus dynamics across soil aggregates: The role of nutrient enrichment and mowing

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential but often limiting nutrient for sustaining grassland ecosystem functions. Its soil dynamics are highly sensitive to land management practices and may vary across soil aggregate sizes due to differences in biotic and abiotic factors ...

Planning Crop–Livestock Integration With Social Norms: A Bio‐Economic Model Balancing Circularity and Farmer Welfare

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional crop‐livestock integration can reduce dependence on external inputs and improve circularity, but its implementation requires coordination across heterogeneous farms and may generate uneven welfare losses due to technical, economic and behavioural factors, including social norms and peer effects.

Research progress and problems prospect of silage technology

Siliao yanjiu, 2021
Silage is a kind of roughage obtained by sealing and anaerobic fermentation of fresh green crops that are edible by livestock. It is mostly used for feed ruminants. Characterizing by sour and fragrant smell, softness, juiciness and good palatability, the
