Genomic Selection in Tropical Forage Grasses: Current Status and Future Applications
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The world population is expected to be larger and wealthier over the next few decades and will require more animal products, such as milk and beef. Tropical regions have great potential to meet this growing global demand, where pasturelands play a major ...

Review: Strategies for enteric methane mitigation in cattle fed tropical forages
Animal, 2020 Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) produced and released by eructation to the atmosphere in large volumes by ruminants. Enteric CH4 contributes significantly to global GHG emissions arising from animal agriculture.

II. Legumes and sub-tropical grasses [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1979 Abstract 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 (Paspalum dilatatum) over summer and autumn, but was less
