Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluation of Nutrient Composition in Feed Supplements Used by Communal Beef Farmers During the Dry Season in Ga-Matlala, Limpopo ProvinceThapelo Rosina Monkwe, Masibonge Gxasheka, Busisiwe GunyaThis study assessed the nutrient composition of feed supplements commonly used by communal beef cattle farmers during the dry season in Limpopo Province of South Africa. A total of seven feed supplements, such as lucerne hay, maize stover, salt licks, calf grower, calf milk replacer, cattle feed pellets, and soybean meal, were sampled and analysed for proximate composition and mineral … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2026 · 1,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Nonlinear Models for Dry Matter Yield of Brachiaria Hybrid cv Cayman in Drought Season by BootstrappingDanny Villegas Rivas, Nora Valbuena Torres, Manuel Milla Pino et al.The dynamics of biomass accumulation at different seasons of the year is of vital importance in the production of a forage species. In this study nonlinear models (logistic and gompertz) to describe growth dynamics of plants based on dry matter yield of Brachiaria hybrid Cayman at different interval between cuts in drought season were used. Results for logistic and gompertz … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2021 · 6,640 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNutritive Status of Maytenus heterophylla and Acacia nilotica Leaves Cultivated in Winter from Two Varied LandscapesMzuyanda Vela, Sabelo Christian Gajana, Emrobowansan Monday IdamokoroWinter season happens to be the period prone to drought and in most cases bedeviled with incidences of low-quality veld and a corresponding high rate of livestock mortality. The present research aimed to assess the nutritive worth of Acacia nilotica as well as Maytenus heterophylla leaves in the winter season from two varied landscapes (high landscape and low landscape). A … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 8 Apr 2024 · 5,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroduction of the Pasture Plant Fescue (Festuca valesiaca) for the Improvement of Degraded Pastures in the Steppe Zone of KazakhstanMeldebekova Nurgul Alikhanovna, Seitbattalova Ainur Islamovna, Ainebekova Bakyt Alpysbaevna et al.This study presents the results of a comprehensive evaluation of Festuca valesiaca, a dominant perennial grass species widely used in steppe ecosystems for pasture improvement. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of native fescue species in enhancing productivity and resilience of degraded rangelands under arid conditions. However, breeding efforts for this species in Kazakhstan remain insufficiently developed. The research was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomobile Spray Paint Dust and Human Health: A Multi-Site Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Effects in South-Eastern NigeriaAdindu Ihuoma Blossom, Ubouh Emmanuel Attah, Obasi Kalu Omokorie, Raimi Morufu OlalekanInformal automobile spray-painting operations release metal-laden dust, posing occupational and residential health risks. Seasonal variations, receptor-specific exposure, and metal composition influence non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards, yet data from South-Eastern Nigeria remain limited. This study quantified heavy-metal exposure in automobile spray-paint dust, assessed receptor-specific non-carcinogenic (HI) and carcinogenic (ILCR) risks, examined seasonal and metal-specific trends, and evaluated source attribution to inform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) Varieties to Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke InfestationAlhassan Bawa, Ismael Yakubu, Yussif SeiduProduction of cowpea within the sub-Saharan Africa, and Ghana in particular, is bedeviled with many challenges, including Striga infestation, resulting in abysmal low grain and biomass yields. Thus, the study was conducted to evaluate Striga's impact on cowpea growth and yield. During the 2023 agricultural season, the study was carried out in Northern Ghana. A control (non-infested) experiment and a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 18 Sep 2025 · 4,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Study of Seasonal Patterns in Vegetation Diversity and Forage Yield DynamicsSema, Jasmal Ahmari Syamsu et al.This study examines the seasonal dynamics of vegetation diversity, forage yield, and nutrient quality in Tarabbi Village, Malili District, East Luwu Regency, conducted from July 2023 to July 2024. Using a survey approach and field measurements, data were collected through the Estimated Actual Weight method and Summed Dominance Ratio (SDR), complemented by Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for analysis.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRotational Pasture Management for Ameliorating Productivity and Feed Value of Vegetation, Soil Quality, and Sustainability in Dry Steppe ZoneGani Stybayev, Meisam Zargar, Beibit Nasiyev et al.Over the past years, a farming system in the Akmola region of Kazakhstan has undergone significant changes: The average number of animals per farm and the use of external inputs have significantly enhanced while the diversity of farming practices has decreased, becoming similar to intensive farming. In this research, we evaluated the rotational pastures for increasing the productivity and feed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2025 · 4,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Cover Changes from Forest Fires Using CA-Markov in Pelalawan, IndonesiaApri Zulmi Hardi, Abdulkader Ali MuradForest and land fires pose significant risks to ecosystems, particularly in Pelalawan Regency, Indonesia, where slash-and-burn practices during the dry season exacerbate peatland degradation. This study integrates Cellular Automata (CA) and Markov-chain analysis to model and predict land cover changes and carbon stock dynamics over the next 20 years. The model projects spatial patterns of land cover changes from 2002-2033 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2024 · 4,874 accessesView PDFCite
