Effect of species composition and sward structure on the ingestive behaviour of cattle and sheep grazing South African sourveld

, 1996
The effects of species composition and sward structure on the ingestive behaviour of cattle and sheep grazing a mesic, low quality grassland in South Africa were investigated over the 1990–93 grazing seasons.

Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of herbage mass and sward structure on de-intensified sheep grazed pasture [PDF]

, 2002
Die zeitliche und räumliche Variabilität des Futterangebotes und der Narbenstruktur einer ungedüngten Weidelgras- Weissklee-Weide (Lolio-Cynosuretum) wurde anhand eines mehrjährigen Weideversuches mit Schafen im Verlauf einer Weidesaison untersucht.

Relationship between Grazing Jaw Movements and Time Per Bite in Cattle: Effect of Sward Structure and Grazing Methods

, 2020
The time per bite is the result of the interaction between mouth morphology, animal behaviour and sward structure (Laca et al. 1994). The time per bite increases with bite mass (Laca et al. 1994), but it has a constant component that is the time required

Desempenho animal e características de pastos de capim-piatã submetidos a diferentes intensidades de pastejo Animal performance and sward characteristics of piatã palisade grass pastures subjected to different grazing intensities

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2013
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o valor nutritivo, a estrutura do dossel e a produção animal de novilhos em pastos de capim-piatã (Urochloa brizantha, cultivar Piatã), manejados a 15, 30 e 45 cm de altura, sob lotação contínua.

Variability of sward structure and plant species composition of pastures at low stocking rate

, 2003
Grazing at a low stocking rate is considered a promising option to meet both the requirement for a reasonable agronomic output and the maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity.

Bi-cropping fodder maize in an existing (grass)clover sward

, 2006
Organic cultivation of fodder maize is still considered to be difficult. Weed pressure, soil structure degradation during harvest and low nutrient efficiency are some of the common problems.

Spectroscopic and In Silico Determination of the Structural and Antioxidant Properties of Essential Oils From Lavandula Species Cultivated in the Silivri Region of Istanbul

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants are important sources of bioactive compounds that contribute to nutrition, health maintenance, and disease prevention. In this study, the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of essential oils obtained from Lavandula angustifolia “Sevtopolis” and Lavandula × intermedia cultivated in the Silivri region of Istanbul were ...

Long-term stability of sward patch structure under different intensities of cattle grazing

, 2014
In low-intensity grazing systems, selective defoliation by the grazing animals can lead to a mosaic pattern of short, frequently grazed, and tall, rarely grazed patches.

Sward structure management for a maximum short-term intake rate in annual ryegrass.

, 2017
This study tested the hypothesis that different sward structures, which were constructed by varying the pre- and post-grazing sward heights of annual ryegrass pasture (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) in southern Brazil, affect the short-term intake rate (STIR ...

Dietary Baicalin Supplementation Can Enhance the Growth Performance of Weaned Piglets and Maintain the Intestinal Barrier Integrity

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This research innovatively illustrates baicalin’s multifaceted mechanisms in enhancing piglets’ intestinal health: modulating bile acid metabolism via probiotics, reinforcing tight junction proteins (ZO‐1/claudin), suppressing TLR4/NF‐κB‐mediated inflammation, whereas promoting growth and reducing diarrhea.
