Four diet collection methods: clipping(C), mouth grab (MG), plucking (P) and oesophageal extrusa (OE) and two faecal output estimation methods: faecal bag (FB) and Cr2O3 marker (I) were compared to assess seasonal changes in nutrient composition of diet and dry matter intake of sheep on Cenchrus ciliaris pasture. Crude protein (CP) and lignin contents of OE were higher than C, MG and P during a...

In the framework of collection and determination of coastal sand dune plants of S Caspian Sea in Gilan and Mazandaran provinces (N Iran), a new species of the family Poaceae,Cenchrus longispinus (Hack.) Fernald, was determined in coastline of Babolsar, Mazandaran. Cenchrus longispinus is closely resembles C. spinifex and C. echinatus. From the latter it is best distinguished by the absence of a...

Herbaceous vegetation is of great ecological importance and responds quickly to environmental changes. The present study was aimed understand the variation in herbaceous species composition, biomass soil physico-chemical properties naturally formed gap understory semi-arid forests Aravalli hills. Four permanent plots consisting as well were established. To herbs phytosociological attributes bio...

Production systems that promote the accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM) must be implemented to maintain sustainability agriculture, livestock, and forestry. Since increases in MOS content contribute improving chemical, physical, biological quality soil, as well helping reduce carbon emissions mitigate climate change. Therefore, objective this study was evaluate (SOC) nitrogen (N) stocks a...

The aim of present study was to evaluate the antibacterial potential of various extracts (petroleum ether, acetone, methanol and aqueous) of Nepeta ciliaris against selected respiratory tract pathogens. The extracts from the aerial parts of N. ciliaris at concentration of 200 mg/ml were screened against three gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 1144, Streptococcus pneumoniae MTCC 655 and ...
