The aim of the study was to compare the in vivo anthelmintic activity of sainfoin hay (Onobrychis viciifolia) and carob pod meal (Ceratonia siliqua) against gastrointestinal nematodes. Seven days before infection, 64 naive lambs were assigned to four different groups: Group S received sainfoin hay and group CAR was fed with carob pods. The remaining lambs received lucerne hay (Medicago sativa) ...

Emergent infectious diseases are one of the main drivers species loss. infection with microsporidian Nosema bombi has been implicated in population and range declines a suite North American bumblebees, group important pollinators. Previous work shown that phytochemicals found pollen nectar can negatively impact parasites individuals, but how this relates to social epidemiology by extension whet...

Questions The human-related spread of alien plants has serious environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, it is important to know which habitats are most threatened by invasion why. We studied a wide range European grasslands assess: (a) species the successful invaders in grasslands; (b) how levels differ across regions (countries or their parts) biogeographical regions; (c) habitat ty...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of sainfoin (onobrychis viciifolia) as tannin source and different level of forage: concentrate ratio on digestibility, blood parameters, ruminal fermentation, milk yield and milk composition in milking ewes. therefore, eight lori milking ewes were alocated to factorial experiment base on the 4×4 replicated latin square design. four total mix...

Non-ammonia nitrogen (NAN) passage to the small intestine and disappearance of NAN in that organ have been studied in multi-cannulated sheep on pasture or fed indoors. Forages under investigation included a number of subtropical grasses, foggages and hay, temperate grasses, lucerne (Medicago sativa), triticale (Triticale X Secale), oven-dried ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), and the tannin-contai...
