Multi-Nutrient Blocks with and without Tanniferous Leaf Meal Mixture: Formulation and Preparation under Sub-Tropical Environment of Jammu
An experimental study was conducted on formulation, preparation and production of two types of multi nutrient blocks (MNB) with and without tanniferous leaf meal mixture (LMM) for supplementation of goats fed on wheat straw based diet. The condensed tannins (CT) containing multi nutrient blocks (MNB-CT) and MNB were formulated, prepared and developed where MNB-CT had CT containing LMM of Psidiu...
متن کاملRangeland management and animal production sustainability under arid and semi arid conditions: Egypt overview
Livestock fodder needs in nearly all developing countries now exceed the sustainable yield of rangelands and other forage resources. In Africa, overgrazing has reduced range productivity virtually everywhere. It is important to provide animals with adequate nutrition to ensure the high productive and reproductive performance. Meanwhile, it is necessary to avoid the deterioration of the pasturel...
متن کاملModelling NDVI from decadal rainfall data in the North East Arid Zone of Nigeria
The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can be calculated from satellite imagery and is generally recognised as a reliable index of ground vegetation cover. A simple, parsimonious model is presented to relate observed levels of the NDVI to decadal (10-day) rainfall over the preceding seven months. The model was calibrated at four stations in the North East Arid Zone of Nigeria over te...
متن کاملSeed dispersal by ants in the semi-arid Caatinga of North-East Brazil.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Myrmecochory is a conspicuous feature of several sclerophyll ecosystems around the world but it has received little attention in the semi-arid areas of South America. This study addresses the importance of seed dispersal by ants in a 2500-km(2) area of the Caatinga ecosystem (north-east Brazil) and investigates ant-derived benefits to the plant through myrmecochory. METHOD...
متن کاملLarge-scale Hydrological Modelling in the Semi-arid North-east of Brazil
Semi-arid areas are characterized by small water resources. An increasing water demand due to population growth and economic development as well as a possible decreasing water availability in the course of climate change may aggravate water scarcity in future in these areas. The quantitative assessment of the water resources is a prerequisite for the development of sustainable measures of water...
