The Estimation of Pasture Intake by the Grazing Sheep

The few estimates in the literature of the quantity of food eaten by the grazing sheep have involved calculations based on some component of the faeces. ’ The “apparent digestibility” of this component was first calculated with sheep fed on known amounts of cut pasture. Faeces were then collected from grazing sheep and the amount of the particular component in the faeces was used to predict the...

Effect of winter pasture residuals’ and grazing- off on subsequefit milk production and pasture performance

Concern at the effect of winter pasture residuals on pasture productivity led to the comparison of different wintering systems at the DRC No. 3 Dairy from May-December 1993. Three farmlets were designed to have 2000 kg DM/ha average farm cover at calving, but with pastures grazed to either 900, 1400 or 1800 kg DM/ha at least once during the winter. A fourth farmlet was spelled from grazing from...

Multispectral and Texture Feature Application in Image-Object Analysis of Summer Vegetation in Eastern Tajikistan Pamirs

We tested the Moment Distance Index (MDI) in combination with texture features for the summer vegetation mapping in the eastern Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan using the 2014 Landsat OLI (Operational Land Imager) image. The five major classes identified were sparse vegetation, medium-dense vegetation, dense vegetation, barren land, and water bodies. By utilizing object features in a random forest (...
