the plant diversity of natural grassland communities, some producers in the Northeast often plant complex Some producers believe that planting pastures to several forage mixtures of grasses and legumes (Tracy and Sanderson, species benefits sustainability of grazing systems. We conducted a grazing study to determine if forage species diversity in pastures affects 2000; Sanderson et al., 2001) b...

This study characterizes the changes in leaf mass, morphological composition and nutritional value of blades palisadegrass (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu) under continuous grazing first year implementation pasture after second eucalyptus planting an Integrated Crop-Livestock System Crop-Livestock-Forest, which were tested four seasons. The experimental design was random blocks, with three trea...

introduction drought stress reduces plant growth by affecting various physiological and biochemical processes, such as photosynthesis, respiration, translocation, ion uptake, carbohydrates, nutrient metabolism and growth promoters. garlic (allium sativum l.) is an annual bulb crop that has been cultivated since ancient times and was used as a spice and condiment for many centuries. garlic is an...

production of halophyte plants with saline water and soil and feeding them to livestock is one of the most sustainable methods of conservation in desert ecosystem regions. kochia is a high salt resistant plant that can widely use as forage for livestock in arid ecosystems with lack of appropriate water and soil resources. in order to investigate potential of forage production of five different ...

Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguumM. Bieb.) grown in monoculture is difficult to harvest mechanically because of its decumbent growth habit, and legumes in general have poor ensiling characteristics. Our objectives were to assess forage yield, nutritive value, and silage characteristics of kura clover–winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) mixtures to determine usefulness as a silage crop. ‘Cardinal’...

. an experiment was conducted by incorporating 35 newborn balouchi lambs to study the effects of different type and levels of forage in starter diets on rumen development characteristics and performance. the 5 experimental treatments were included; starter diet without forage (control) and starter diet containing two levels (7.5 and 15%) of alfalfa hay and wheat straw. inclusion of forages incr...

nutritive value of winterfat forage (eurotia ceratoides) was evaluated through chemical composition, in situ degradability and in vitro gas production techniques using three permanently fistulated adult baluchi sheep. the cp, ndf, adf, ash, ee and nfc contents of winterfat forage was 19.4, 54.5, 41.6, 9.0, 1.4 and 15.7%, respectively. the leaves had highest cp (27.9%dm) and lowest ndf (40.7%dm)...

In large-type goats that were fed on dry forage twice daily, dry forage intake was markedly suppressed after 40 min of feeding had elapsed. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not marked decreases in dry forage intake after 40 min of feeding are mainly caused by the two factors, that is, ruminal distension and increased plasma osmolality induced thirst produced by dry forage...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of titanium dioxide and titanium oxide foliar application during two growing stage on growth and forage production of maize during 2012 growing season in the research farm of Islamic Azad University of Varamin-Pishva Branch. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks arranged in factorial with four replications. The factors were includ...
