Wild Herbivore Grazing Enhances Insect Diversity over Livestock Grazing in an African Grassland System
Southern Africa's grassland biodiversity is threatened by habitat transformation such as commercial forestry. Ecological networks (ENs) have been instigated to alleviate the pressure of habitat transformation on local biodiversity. ENs are large scale webs of corridors and patches of natural vegetation criss-crossing production landscapes that can simulate conditions in protected areas (PAs). M...
متن کاملAlternative Rotational Grazing Systems at the Beef Teaching Farm
Fifty-six acres of central Iowa corn land were seeded to bromegrass and divided with high-tensile wire into eight seven-acre plots. This bromegrass was fertilized with 70 pounds of nitrogen each spring and fall, 1987-1990. In 1991 – 1995, the nitrogen was increased to 80 pounds both spring and fall. The plots were stocked with 1.3 cow/calf pairs per acre in 1987-1991 and 1993–1995, but in 1992 ...
متن کاملImpact of an Agroforestry System on Grazing, Ruminating, and Resting Behaviors of Dairy Cows
The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of agroforestry system on the feeding behavior of dairy cows in the Brazilian Amazon region. Nineteen cross breed dairy cows (14.0±3.30 kg/d of milk yield and 450±40.1 kg body weight) were used. The following treatments were evaluated: A) animals were maintained in opened pasture of Brachiaria brizantha during all the day; B) animals were...
متن کاملAn On-farm Swine Waste Management System in Hawaii
INTRODUCTION A prototype of a swine waste treatment system for a 20-25 sows operation was investigated for its potential of odor control, byproduct utilization and treated wastewater reuse. The high solid portion of the swine waste ranging from 4% to 8% TS was treated and stabilized by the anaerobic process with an HRT (hydraulic retention time) of 32 days. The diluted liquid portion from raw a...
متن کاملHigh Nature Value (HNV) Grazing Systems in Europe: A Link between Biodiversity and Farm Economics
Large tracts of the European rural land, most frequently in the Less Favoured Areas (LFA) are devoted to lowinput and Large Scale Grazing Systems (LSGS) under severe environmental constraints. A small part of the rural population strives to make a living under a risk of abandonment. Paradoxically, these areas harbour a great part of the European High Nature Value (HNV) farmland. We argue that g...
