Determination of microbial degradability of N is important in formulating a sound supplementation strategy for efficient utilisation of basal as well as supplementary diet components. In vitro degradability of N (IVDN) from tannin-containing browses (Acacia cyanophylla, Acacia albida, Acioa barteri and Quercus ilex) and two herbaceous legumes (Desmodium intortum and Desmodium uncinatum) was det...

we studied litterfall dynamic of tree plantations in dez river floodplain, at 14 to 15 years old. the plantations consist of populus euphratica oliv., eucalyptus camaldulensis dehnh., e. microtheca f. muell, acacia farnesiana (l.) willd., a. salicina lindl., a. saligna (labill.) h. wendl., a. stenophylla benth. and dalbergia sissoo roxb. litterfall was different between the tree species, and le...

Acacia saligna Labill, also known as coojong, the blue-leafed wattle, golden wreath orange Western Australian and Port Jackson willow in place of Africa, is a little tree Fabaceae family. It widely dispersed over Australia's south-west region, reaching Murchison River north, Israelite Bay east. indigenous to Australia. The most prevalent phenolic substances this plant are benzoic acid, o-coumar...

● Hakea drupacea reduces the diversity of native plant species probably through effect litter production and canopy cover Uninvaded sites had higher numbers compared to invaded Litter depth was significantly in uninvaded cleared Active removal H. restored previously The influence invasive alien plants on community structure above ground biomass their novel range is poorly understood, as magnitu...

Lactic acidosis is a major welfare issue affecting animal health and production systems such as dairy and feedlot beef. We used two bioassays to identify bioactive plants of Australia with the potential to prevent acidosis in ruminants. In the first bioassay, a potentially acidotic environment was induced by adding glucose to rumen fluid and pH and gas production were used to estimate the effec...

A New Alkaloid named Sracosalgnenone [ (20S) -20(dimethylamino) -3β-tigoloyl-pregn-5, 16-diene-4-one] was isolated from sarcococca saligna and its structure was established on the basis of spectroscopic techniques includingH, C-NMR and inverse 2D-NMR techniques (DEPT, HMQC and HMBC) UV, MS etc.
