Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract Saturated fats (SFAs) play a complex role in health; therefore, their intake has been a topic of debate in the field of nutrition science. Therefore, this article emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rather than SFA, considering genetic and metabolic differences, and advocates for the reconsideration of dietary guidelines based on the ...

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

Fermentation characteristics, chemical composition and microbial community of tropical forage silage under different temperatures [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019 Objective In tropical regions, as in temperate regions where seasonality of forage production occurs, well-preserved forage is necessary for animal production during periods of forage shortage.

II. Legumes and sub‐tropical grasses [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 1979 Seasonal growth patterns (based on DM yields at successive cuts taken over a single 12‐month period) are presented for 3 pasture legumes and 3 subtropical grasses on north and south aspects of wet North Island hill country. Setaria ( Setaria anceps cv. ‘Narok’) yielded more than paspalum (

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Our modeling study shows that livestock management strongly influences grazing behavior and animal performance in the Peruvian Andes. Furthermore, adjusting stocking rates and improving animal distribution can enhance forage intake and body condition while increasing forage biomass.

iMeta, EarlyView.From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial
