The leguminous plant species, Indigofera linnaei and spicata are distributed throughout the rangeland regions of Australia compound indospicine (L-2-amino-6-amidinohexanoic acid) found in these palatable forage plants acts as a hepatotoxin can accumulate meat ruminant livestock wild camels. In this study, bovine rumen fluid was cultivated an vitro fermentation system provided with material abil...

Micrometeorological techniques can be applied to estimate methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants and livestock manure using CH4 concentration measured within the internal surface boundary layer. The main advantage of these techniques is that they are non-intrusive, thereby eliminating the impact of the measurement set-up on the calculated CH4 emission. This review focuses on four micrometeorolo...

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that can cause severe illness in humans and considerable economic loss in the livestock industry. Although small ruminants are the preferential host for Brucella melitensis, this pathogen has emerged as a cause for Brucella outbreaks in cattle. S19 vaccination is implemented in many countries where B. abortus is endemic but its effectiveness against B. melitens...

Grasslands provide grass and fodder to sustain the growing need for ruminant meat and milk. Soil nutrients in grasslands are removed through withdrawal in these livestock products and through animal manure that originates from grasslands and is spread in croplands. This leads to loss of soil fertility, because globally most grasslands receive no mineral fertilizer. Here we show that phosphorus ...

The majority of ruminant livestock production occurs in temperate grasslands where animals are allowed to graze or are fed harvested forages (i.e., hays or silages). As a result, forages comprise 50 to 90% of total feed consumed by ruminants during their production cycle (Reid and Jung, 1982). In the U.S., beef cattle production is often viewed as an intensive enterprise because of finishing ca...

This survey was conducted to ascertain the demographic attributes of household heads, type livestock kept, rearing systems, feed resources utilized and also assess farmer’s knowledge on production conservation. A total 298 heads were randomly selected within five districts interviewed. Results indicated that majority households (73.2%) headed by men with only (26.8%) women. In terms educational...

Parasitism remains a challenge in the effective and efficient management of ruminant livestock. Among different approaches proposed for better these parasites, present work carried out on farm Faculty Agronomic Sciences (FSA) located Sékou, focused effectiveness annual mugwort powder (Artemisia annua) gastrointestinal nematodes (Nematoda) cattle. The coprological analyses were made at Laborator...
