Influence of Variability of Ryegrass Meadow Soil Conditions on their Natural and Utilization Values

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2012
The study presents the findings of research into the effect of the variability of site conditions on their floristic composition providinga basis for the identification of lower phytosociological units. Patches of Arrhenatheretum elatioris described with

Oral Dosed Organo‐Silica Nanoparticles Restore Glucose Homeostasis and β‐Cell Function in Diabetes Rats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...

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.

Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.

The Impact of Accumulating Herbage Masses in Autumn on Perennial Ryegrass Sward Characteristics

Agronomy
Autumn grazing management aims to accumulate herbage for defoliation prior to a decrease in growth rates for the extension of the grazing season. The current study investigated the impact of building different target herbage masses (THMs) in autumn and ...

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

The effect of herbage mass and allowance on herbage intake, diet composition and ingestive behaviour of dairy cows [PDF]

, 2004
peer-reviewedAn experiment was conducted to examine the effects of herbage mass [HM, based on regrowth intervals of 35 (T) and 21 (S) days] and herbage allowance [HA, 20.2 (H) and 12.7 (L) kg organic matter (OM)/cow] on herbage OM intake (OMI), dietary

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.
