Role of GPS in monitoring livestock migration
Satellite-based technique of global positioning systems (GPS) is useful for tracking long-distance livestock movement across the grazing routes md to study the specific needs of livestock herders. There are two kinds of ...
Reliability of Yield Mapping System for Estimating Perennial Ryegrass Seed Yield
Seed yield is an important factor to any farmer. Most farmers recognize that yield will vary within a field due to many factors, but they are unaware of the actual magnitude of the yield variability. Yield mapping is a ...
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 ...
Assessing the risk of flooding in Central Tunisia
Digital elevation models (DEM) can be used to derive a wealth of information about land surface morphology. When analyzed using GIS information about stream channels and watersheds it can determine the flow of water over ...
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 Situation
A satisfactory intake of novel low-quality 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 ...
Monitoring Restoration Impacts to Endemic Plant Communities in Soil Inclusions of Arid Environments
Slickspots are soil inclusions with unique loamy soils that provide habitats for many endemic plants worldwide, including those within sagebrush steppe. Sagebrush-dominated communities are declining and require restoration, ...
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 ...
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 ...
