Studies throughout the western United States have shown that livestock can degrade riparian vegetation and stream channels and produce sediment, pathogen, and nutrient loading. This study at the Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center is the first to focus on effects of livestock grazing on hardwood rangeland springs and associated riparian resources. Cattle grazing treatments at three in...

Arid grasslands are used worldwide for grazing by domestic livestock, generating debate about how this pastoral enterprise may influence native desert biota. One approach to resolving this question is to experimentally reduce livestock numbers and measure the effects. However, a key challenge in doing this is that historical grazing impacts are likely to be cumulative and may therefore confound...

Cultivation of chicken Kampung Unggul Balitnak (KUB) is carried out with the aim meeting community’s need free native meat. Through Partnership Community Program (PKM) training activities for KUB cultivation based and fermented feed were out, which in this activity began Socialitization Chicken covering maintenance, feeding disease prevention. The system that applied to partner's livestock grou...

Livestockwildlife interactions in rangelands are often viewed in terms of competition, but livestock and native ungulates can also benefit each other through longterm modifications of rangeland habitats. Here we synthesize research on rangelands in central Laikipia focusing on two types of cattlewildlife interactions that have implications for their longterm coexistence. The first interaction o...

Grazing areas management is of utmost importance in the Andean region. In the valleys of the Bolivian Cordillera Real near La Paz, pastoralism constitutes the traditional way for people to insure food security and economical sustainability. In these harsh mountains, unique and productive wetlands sustained by glacial water streams are of utmost importance for feeding cattle herds during the dry...

Livestock grazing potentially has substantial influence on fuel characteristics in rangelands around the globe. However, information quantifying the impacts of grazing on rangeland fuel characteristics is limited, and the effects of grazing on fuels are important because fuel characteristics are one of the primary factors determining risk, severity, continuity, and size of wildfires. We investi...

The Amazon and the Atlantic Forest are Brazilian biomes that suffered an intense land use cover change, marked by loss of native forest expansion agriculture livestock. This article aims to analyze change history propose a sustainable alternative for livestock as opportunity rural development in these biomes. statistics platform from Annual Mapping Project Land Use Cover Brazil (MapBiomas) were...

This experiment compared California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) activity on replicated grazed and ungrazed pastures in a blue oak (Quercus douglasii) savanna. During the 4-year study, squirrel activity, measured as the number of active burrows, generally declined in grazed and ungrazed pastures without oak canopy. Squirrel activity declined least in grazed pastures with blue oak can...

The study was undertaken to identify the constraints of native cattle genetic resource conservation at the farm level along with their features of breeding system and profitability. Five different study sites like south-west, northern hills, industrial zone, north-west and mid-region were selected representatively from all over the country. A total of 280 cattle farmers from the selected region...

Integrated Crop–Livestock–Forestry Systems (ICLFS) offer stakeholders sustainable options to produce goods and services. Those additionally manifest as enablers of environmental conservation soil functioning. We, therefore, analyzed the quality Ultisol for physical chemical properties under restorative or regenerative models long-term (nine years) ICLFS. The arrangements comprised integrated Cr...
