The vulnerability of native rangeland plant species to global climate change in the West Asia and North African regions
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of climate change on the geographical
distribution of selected native species from two areas from West Asia and North Africa.
Three species representing two genera were selected for ...
Intake pattern and nutrient supply of lactating sheep selecting dried forage from woody plants and straw offered in binary or multiple choice
This study investigated whether offering either binary or multiple choice among low quality
forages has an effect on intake and feeding behaviour compared to no-choice situations
where only one single low-quality forage ...
Evaluation of deficit irrigation for efficient sheep production from permanent sown pastures in a dry continental climate
Deficit irrigation can be a useful management tool to increase water productivity of forage and sheep
production from pastures in water deprived areas of the world. A three year study compared sheep
production from permanent ...
Influence of experience on intake and feeding behavior of dairy sheep when offered forages from woody plants in a multiple-choice situation1
A satisfactory intake of novel lowquality
forages by ruminants may require previous
experience with this feed. Therefore, this study tested
in sheep whether experience with forages from
woody plants had an influence on ...
Performance of Anatolian Merino and Akkaraman lambs fed triticale, Hungarian vetch or a mixture of the two forages
Forages from Hungarian vetch and triticale monocultures
or mixtures that can be produced with relatively low cost
are important feed sources for ruminants in spring particularly
in the arid and semiarid regions. The feed ...
Effect of livestock grazing on plant cover and species diversity in desert rangelands: A case study of Musawar Al Ottoria in Qatar
Protection of designated areas within rangelands is widely
considered to be the most effective and the practical way
to conserve plant diversity and maintain ecosystem
composition and structure. Thus, the effect of ...
