DOI: 10.1007/s10457-020-00552-z

Abstract: By using two thinning intensity regimes on a dense 16-year-old black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) stand, two silvopastures were created: a medium density silvopasture (MDS) with 60% mean crown cover and a low density silvopasture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agsy.2019.102716

Abstract: Abstract To improve our knowledge on the effects of different grazing intensities on integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) and thus define solid management goals to maximize plant and animal responses in these systems, we analyzed 16… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Livestock Science"

DOI: 10.1016/j.livsci.2018.03.020

Abstract: Abstract Forage species tolerate varying degrees of shading. In agrosilvopastoral systems, forage plants are able to adjust and partially compensate growth reduction under light stress. These adjustments change morphological proportions and composition along the vertical… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-72746-9

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the fresh herbage yield, fertilizer dosage, and plant characteristics of the Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrid grown in arid and semi-arid regions, as well as their interrelationships. For this reason,… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Animal Production Science"

DOI: 10.1071/an17425

Abstract: Daily herbage allowance is recognised as the main tool to control pasture utilisation and milk production per cow. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term effects of daily herbage allowance (DHA)… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Journal of Applied Animal Research"

DOI: 10.1080/09712119.2020.1715985

Abstract: ABSTRACT To evaluate the foraging behaviour of yearling bulls grazing on Marandu grass, we conducted two experiments. In the first experiment (Exp. 1), three grazing heights of 15, 25, and 35 cm were evaluated, with bulls… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Journal of animal science"

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skab279

Abstract: The beef sector in Campos grasslands must increase animal productivity without external inputs while reducing environmental impact. The objective of this study was to estimate herbage intake [g/metabolic body weight (MBW)/d] of straightbred (Hereford/Angus) and… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Translational Animal Science"

DOI: 10.1093/tas/txad028

Abstract: Abstract Supplementing growing cattle grazing native subtropical Campos grasslands during winter improves the low, even negative, average daily weight gain (ADG) typical of extensive animal production systems in Uruguay. Nonetheless, to render the practice profitable,… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Translational Animal Science"

DOI: 10.1093/tas/txaf053

Abstract: Abstract Heterogeneous extensive grassland offers herbivores a variation of potential bite items (BI) from which they can select. But there is a lack of knowledge on the relationship between the actually available (BIa) and the… read more here.
