Sward and milk production response to early turnout of dairy cows to pasture in Finland [PDF]

, 2003
The timing of turnout is an important factor affecting the grazing management of dairy cows. However, its consequences are not well known in the short grazing season of northern Europe.

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.

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

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Padrões de uso do tempo por novilhos em pastagem consorciada de azevém anual e aveia-preta Patterns in the use of time by steers in mixtures of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and black oat (Avena strigosa Schreb)

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2008
Com objetivo de avaliar o comportamento de pastejo de novilhos de corte, foi desenvolvido um experimento em pastagem de azevém anual (Lolium multiflorum Lam) e aveia-preta (Avena strigosa Schreb) submetida a quatro alturas de manejo (10, 20, 30 e 40 cm).

Estimation of alfalfa fall dormancy using spaced plant and sward trials across multiple environments

Grassland Research, 2023
Background Alfalfa is a globally important forage crop. Cultivars are characterized by fall dormancy (FD). FD affects biomass yield and winter survival and is used to identify appropriate growing regions of cultivars. It has historically been assessed by

Performance and parasitosis in heifers grazing mixed with sows [PDF]

, 2000
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of mixed grazing with first season heifers and pregnant sows on animal performance, gastro-intestinal helminths, pasture quality and sward structure during three grazing seasons.

Drone‐based structure‐from‐motion photogrammetry captures grassland sward height variability

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018
Abstract Grasslands deliver a range of ecosystem services, including the provision of food and biodiversity, and regulation of soil carbon storage and hydrology. Monitoring schemes are needed to quantify spatial changes in these multiple functions alongside ecosystem degradation.

Effect of Cyclic Heat Exposure on the Growth Performance and Metabolism of Broilers Fed Palm Kernel Meal

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the interaction between HS and the incorporation of PKM in broiler chicken diets, as well as its effect on growth performance and metabolism. Based on the results obtained, PKM supplementation failed to mitigate the adverse effects of heat stress in broiler chickens. ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the
