Cactus Crop (Opuntia Ficus-Indica) to Rehabilitate Rangelands in Semi-Arid Regions of Tunisia
The area of rangelands in Tunisia is estimated at 4.5 million hectares, or 27.4% of the total area of the country. Currently rangelands contribute 10 to 25% of livestock feed requirements, compared to 65% in the sixties, ...
Grassland/rangelands based livestock production systems: Options and trade-offs between productivity and GHG emissions reductions
The global warming is expected to further contribute to the process of rangeland degradation as a result of mis-management and may have significant adverse impacts on range species under high CO2 emissions scenarios. Already ...
Molecular survey and genetic characterization of Anaplasma centrale, A. marginale and A. bovis in cattle from Algeria
Bovine anaplasmosis could be caused by several Anaplasma species. The causative agents are transmitted by ticks and haematophagous arthropods with a high impact on both human and animal health. This study was conducted to ...
Supplementing Barbarine ewes every two days around mating does not hamper the reproductive performance in comparison to daily supplementation
Seventy Barbarine ewes were divided into two homogeneous groups and
received 1200 g/head/day of hay, supplemented with 400 g/head/day of concentrate, either daily (group C) or every two days (group A). The supplementation ...
Genomic footprints of dryland stress adaptation in Egyptian fattail sheep and their divergence from East African and western Asia cohorts
African indigenous sheep are classified as fat-tail, thin-tail and fat-rump hair sheep. The fat-tail are well adapted to dryland environments, but little is known on their genome profiles. We analyzed patterns of genomic ...
Physiological, anatomical and antioxidant responses to salinity in the Mediterranean pastoral grass plant Stipa lagascae
Soil and water salinity is a major environmental problem in the dry Mediterranean regions, affecting rangeland production. This study investigated the effects of salinity on the wild perennial grass (Poaceae) species Stipa ...
Morphological characterization of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) accessions from the collection held at Agadir, Morocco
The North Africa region falls under arid and semi-arid climate and it is considered as a hot spot for climate change. To face feed shortage, increase income of the rural poor and to mitigate the effect of climate change, ...
The Relevance of Rest Periods in Rangeland Management for Biomass Rehabilitation in Tataouine, Tunisia, Spring 2017
Field visits were carried out during March 2017 and allowed to identify and classify the sites subjected to rest according to the land tenure system and age of the implementation of the technique. During these visits, the ...
