Características estruturais e produção de leite em pastos de capim-mombaça (Panicum maximum Jacq.) submetidos a diferentes alturas de pastejo Structure and milk production in Mombaça Grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) swards submitted to different grazing heights

Ciência Rural, 2007
A estrutura do pasto pode ser vista como uma determinante da dinâmica de crescimento, da competição nas comunidades vegetais e também do comportamento ingestivo dos animais em pastejo. Dessa forma, este experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar

Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquatic and Terrestrial Livestock Species

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A global meta‐analysis of 58 studies (926 effect sizes and 29 species across five taxa) revealed that dietary antimicrobial peptides generally improve growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune responses. The greatest benefits were observed in omnivorous livestock, such as pigs and chickens. Dose‐duration effects were evident. An optimal outcome

Structural characteristics of marandu palisadegrass swards subjected to continuous stocking and contrasting rhythms of growth Características estruturais de pastos de capim-marandu submetidos à lotação contínua e ritmos de crescimento contrastantes

Scientia Agricola, 2010
The concept of sward target has been used recently to characterise grazing management practices, but its efficiency to monitor and control sward structure questioned since it corresponds to a single sward structural feature, usually sward surface height.

Continuous grazing in comparison to cutting management on an organic meadow in the eastern Alps [PDF]

, 2010
Continuous grazing is an appropriate pasture system for dairy cows in low input milk production systems like organic farming. Grazing increases for economic reasons and is also caused by regulations in organic farming.

The role of grassland sward islets in the distribution of arthropods in cattle pastures [PDF]

, 2010
1. It is well documented that cattle reduce their grazing activity in the vicinity of cattle dung, which gives rise to distinct patches, or islets as they have been termed, of longer sward.

Using sward height to manage pastures

, 2018
Abstract - Pastures need to be managed with a proper herbage availability and keeping a proper residual mass when animals are removed from the area. This herbage has direct relation with the grass height and this residual mass is important due to the photosynthetically active leaves and their capacity in intercept the solar radiation, influencing the ...

Deciphering the catalytic and pharmacological mechanisms of Coptis chinensis herbzymes to renovate intestinal microenvironment for colitis alleviation

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The synthesized CCzymes possess both antioxidant enzyme activity and pharmacological properties inherent to Coptis chinensis. By their antioxidant enzyme activity, CCzymes can attenuate oxidative stress within the inflammatory region of ulcerative colitis (UC), while their pharmacological activity acts on macrophage polarization and the intestinal ...

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...
