Quality of Forage Cactus Silage with the Addition of Hay from Forages Adapted to the Semiarid Region
This study investigated the effects of including hays from different forages adapted to the semiarid region on the forage cactus (Opuntia fícus‐indica (L.) Mill) silage quality. A completely randomized design, with five treatments was used: pure forage cactus and forage cactus associated with 30% hay from gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium), pornunça ...

“Steak Dry Aging”: An Innovative Approach to Producing High‐Yield, High‐Quality Dry‐Aged Beef
ABSTRACT This study evaluated a novel steak dry‐aging (StDA) protocol in which portioned beef steaks were dry‐aged until reaching an average weight loss of 15% and subsequently wet‐aged to achieve a total aging time of either 14 or 28 days. The new protocol was compared with conventional dry aging (DA) for 28 days and unaged controls.

Livestock grazing boosts plant diversity in the Greater Serengeti–Mara Ecosystem
Abstract Intensifying land use is a global threat to biodiversity, and livestock grazing—occupying 26% of terrestrial land—is one of such threats. Designated protected areas are one of the key conservation strategies to halt biodiversity loss, but their effectiveness is debated, in part because of data shortage at relevant spatial scales (>1 ha).
