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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DOI: 10.1111/jpn.13795
Abstract: Knowledge about individual daily herbage dry matter (DM) intake (DMI) helps identifying efficient dairy cows and adapting supplementation better to herbage intake and nutrient requirements of grazing dairy cows. With the aid of behavioural characteristics,… read more here.
