Abstract:
... The histomorphometric parameters of the fore-stomach epithelium of lambs fed with spineless cactus genotypes resistant to Dactylopius sp. were evaluated. Thirty-two lambs (23.0 ± 2.06 kg body weight) were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments and eight replications. The treatments consisted of the base diet and diets in which part of the elephant grass hay and all grou ...

Abstract:
... The general observation that secondary consumers ingest highly digestible food and have simple short guts and small abdominal cavities intuitively results in the assumption that mammalian carnivores carry less digesta in their gut compared to herbivores. Due to logistic constraints, this assumption has not been tested quantitatively so far. In this contribution, we estimated the dry matter gut con ...

Diet selection is an important factor influencing animal development and ecology, especially in natural and seminatural grasslands, with a large diversity of plant species. To explore the learning process of foraging behavior ...

Abstract:
... The importance of increased grass availability in the diet of the early lactation dairy cow in spring-calving pasture-based systems is widely reported. To combat the effect of low over winter growth rates, closing swards earlier in autumn can allow for greater accumulation of herbage for grazing in spring. The aim of this study was to identify the impact of three autumn closing treatments (varying ...
