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 ...
A methodological approach to model the grass-tree relationship in Quercus suber Mediterranean forest ecosystems
Livestock is socially and economically an important component for the livelihood of resource poor
farmers in North Africa. A portion of livestock feed resources is forest rangeland. Unfortunately, the
sustainability 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 ...
An efficient sampling protocol for sagebrush/grassland monitoring
developed numerous methods and monitoring techniques
that can be used for vegetation sampling (Barbour et al.
1987). The methods used to position samples (transects,
quadrats, lines, and points) vary and can be classed ...
Cactusnet: Promoting the social and ecological benefits of cactus production: Encouraging Cactus Pear production in South Africa
Increasing demands on already scarce water resources in South Africa require alternative sources of animal feed – specifically crops that are more efficient users of water. One alternative with the potential for widespread ...
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 ...
