Myrmecophilous Phengaris nausithous and P. teleius are highly specialized grassland butterflies and flagship species for European nature conservation, but they exhibit ongoing population declines. We show strong declines for both species in the Westerwald mountain range, western Germany, since 1994, driven by inappropriate timing of mowing, grassland ...

Influence of maize hybrids on silage quality
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important silage crop due to its low buffer capacity, high amount of dry matter and optimal concentration of soluble carbohydrates. Silage of maize is a process of anaerobic preservation by lactic acid fermentation, which reduces the possibility of loss of nutrients from harvest to consumption of animal feed.

ABSTRACT Aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, are frequently reported contaminants of dairy cattle feed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where climatic conditions favor fungal growth, and they can be transferred into milk and dairy products.

Fate of fatty acids during ensiling: relationship with milk fat composition of dairy cows [PDF]
Transition of dairy cows from grazing to silage based rations significantly increases the saturated: unsaturated fatty acids (FA) ratio and decreases the content of beneficial C18:1 cis-9, C18:1 trans-11, C18:2 cis-9,trans-11 and C18:3n-3 in milk fat ...

ABSTRACT Understanding how nutritional management and genetic background influence hepatic metabolism is important for improving the nutritional quality of bovine products in tropical production systems. This study evaluated breed‐associated differences under a common dietary regimen and diet‐related differences within the Nelore breed with respect to ...

ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) silage is a major energy source in ruminant diets and provides fermentable substrate for the rumen microbiota. In addition, forage maize contains benzoxazinoids (BXs), defence‐related secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity that remain detectable after ensiling.

Abstract This article provides an overview of the patent landscape in relation to PGRFA‐based inventions involving naturally occurring (“native”) traits and related Digital Sequence Information/Genetic Sequence Data (DSI/GSD). In particular, it focuses on the potential of patent claims to limit others' uses of PGRFA and related DSI/GSD on which the ...
