Bio-economic efficiency of creep supplementation of forage legumes or concentrate in pasture-based lamb production system
Supplemental feeding of lambs with forage legumes or grains provides a potential option to increase proportion of prime lambs and profitability in intensive pasture-based lamb production systems. A two-year study in the ...
Grasslands in 'Old World' and 'New World' Mediterranean-climate zones: past trends, current status and future research priorities
Despite their ecological, economic and social importance,
grasslands in areas with Mediterranean climates
continue to receive limited scientific, political and
media attention. The main objectives of this review
are to ...
Silvopastoral Systems and Climate Change Mitigation in Central Tunisia
The work is presented in North American Agroforestry conference: Agroforestry for sustainable Production and Resilience Landscape. 16th AFTA Biennial Conference on June 24-27, 2019 at Oregon State University in Corvallis, ...
Effect of stocking rate on pasture and sheep production in winter and spring lambing systems
A 2-year study was conducted to quantify the effect of stocking rate on pasture and sheep production in winter and spring lambing systems. Pastures were set-stocked with ewes and their winter-born single lambs at low (20 ...
Activity 1. 3. Site-specific CA technology packages fine-tuned and disseminated for enhanced farm productivity, resource use efficiency and profitability
Presentation of a site-specific CA technology packages, fine-tuned and disseminated for enhanced farm productivity, resource use efficiency and profitability.
Biomass yield and feeding value of rye, triticale, and wheat straw produced under a dual-purpose management system
Dual-purpose management of winter cereals for grazing and grain production provides highly nutritive forage for ruminants in the spring and may positively affect straw feeding value. A 2-yr study investigated the effect ...
Closing the Feed Gap in Drylands for Enhanced Livestock Productivity and Efficient Resource Use
Livestock is the world’s fastest-growing highest-value agricultural sub-sector already accounting for about 40 % of agricultural GDP globally. By 2050 massive increases over 2005/7 amounts of cereals, dairy and meat will ...
Yield and nutritive quality of Hedysarum coronarium across three different agro-climatic zones of northern Tunisia
Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) is commonly included in the cropping system as a short-rotation forage crop (one to three years) in northern Tunisia. Thus, this study compared DM production and nutritive value of sulla ...
Forage seed system, Indigenous knowledge and constraints of forage production in Afghanistan
The Afghanistan seed sector is in transition after the postwar reconstruction and rebuilding (Kugbei et al., 2011). Though
the national seed policy and law was enacted in 2009 (Gazette, Govt. of Afghanistan, 2009), its ...
Conservation characteristics and protein fractions of cereal silages ensiled with additives at the booting and dough stages of maturity
The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of organic acid and bacterial inoculant on conservation characteristics and protein fractions as defined by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System of barley, ...
