Effect of grazing intensity and dung on herbage and soil nutrients

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2019
Dung deposited by grazing animals is a key driver affecting sward structure and nutrient cycling in pastures. We tested herbage and soil properties in three types of tall sward-height patches (> 10 cm): (i) patches with dung under intensive grazing ...

Ingestive Behavior of Young Lambs on Contrasting Tropical Grass Sward Heights

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
The efficiency of grazing ruminant production systems is directly associated to the animals' ingestive behavior, and to structural characteristics of the pastures.

Influence of sward structure on daily intake and foraging behaviour by horses

Animal, 2010
The spatial heterogeneity of grasslands determines the abundance and quality of food resources for grazing animals. As plants mature, they increase in mass, which allows greater instantaneous intake rates, but the cell wall concentrations increase too, reducing diet quality.

Initial height and nitrogen fertilization on deferred signalgrass

Bioscience Journal, 2015
Thus study was conducted with the objective of evaluating production and forage characteristics of Signalgrass (Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk) deferred at different initial heights and nitrogen doses. Three initial sward heights (low - 10 cm, medium

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.

In vitro Fermentation Profile and Methane Production of Kikuyu Grass Harvested at Different Sward Heights

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Highly digestible forages are associated with an in vitro low-methane (CH4) rumen fermentation profile and thus the possibility of reducing CH4 emissions from forage-based systems.
