THE EFFECT OF ROTATIONAL GRAZING ON FLORISTIC COMPOSITION AND YIELD OF Ranunculo repentis – Alopecuretum pratensis HILLY GRASSLAND [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2004 In the years 2001 and 2002 the effect of the introduction of the whole year rotational grazing with different post-grazing target sward heights (4 cm in the treatment 1, and 7 cm in the treatment 2) on the yield and changes in floristic composition of ...

Interaction among fire and sward height increases leaf nitrogen per unit area of annual ryegrass in subtropical grasslands from southern Brazil [PDF]
Ciência Rural: Fire is one of the main drivers of vegetation structure from terrestrial ecosystems and its effects on plants allocation resources and biomass are mediated by leaf functional traits. These attributes can provide useful information for future management

Comparison of indices for the prediction of nitrogen mineralization after destruction of managed grassland [PDF]
, 2010 Intensively managed grasslands are occasionally chemically killed with herbicide and ploughed in order to grow an arable crop. After this management, large N mineralization rates with large losses to the environment are commonly observed.

Effect of sward height during lactation on heifer and calf performance
Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1998 The study compared the performance of Hereford x Friesian heifers and their calves managed on a Low (58±0.5 mm sward height) (L) or High (107±1.4 mm sward height) (H) pasture cover from calf birth up to weaning at about 90 days over spring 1997. Milk production was measured at days 29 and 65 of lactation using the weigh-nurse-weigh technique. At day 29

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Impacts of Cattle Grazing Management on Sediment and Phosphorus Loads in Surface Waters [PDF]
, 2005 In 2001 (yr 1), 2002 (yr 2), and 2003 (yr 3), three blocks of five 1-ac paddocks were grazed by beef cows on hills at the Iowa State University Rhodes Research and Demonstration Farm to determine the effects of grazing management on phosphorus (P) and ...

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Dietary glutamine (Gln) supplementation increased the ATP levels and promoted cell proliferation in the rumen epithelium of feed‐restricted yaks. Besides, Gln inhibited ROS accumulation and reduced oxidative damage and apoptosis in the rumen epithelium of feed‐restricted yaks.
