Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRotational 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Changes in Forage Vegetation for Saiga (Saiga Tatarica) On Natural Pastures in The Steppe Zone of the West Kazakhstan RegionAmanay Myrzabayev, Zhanbolat Ibraibekov, Zhangeldi Ussenov et al.This study investigates the impact of recent climate changes and reduced anthropogenic pressure on the vegetation cover in the steppe regions of Russia and Kazakhstan, particularly focusing on the effects on saiga (Saiga tatarica) populations. By the late 1990s, a significant shift towards the dominance of grasses and the reduction of herbaceous plants in semi-arid and arid regions was observed, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 7 Feb 2026 · 1,765 accessesView PDF Cite

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 abstractStable Isotope Diet Reconstruction of Feral Horses on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada, USAMegan K. Nordquist, Todd F. Robinson, Gail H. Collins et al.Feral horse management has become a subject of significant controversy in the United States, resulting in part from opposing views of best management practices and limited empirical data. Feral horse densities increase in response to high reproductive rates and limited horse removal. with this increase, land managers are challenged with accurately quantifying horse diet selection and subsequent impacts on western … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2024 · 5,390 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPasture Productivity Depending on the Method of Pasture use in the Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanBalzhan Akhylbekova, Nurlan Serekpayev, Adilbek Nogayev, Bakhytbek ZhumabekUnsystematic grazing of animals and continuous use of pastures leads to their degradation and, accordingly, to a shortage of pasture forage for the production of competitive environmentally friendly livestock products. The proportion of productive grasses in grass covers is decreasing; therefore, there is an urgent need to preserve valuable plant species in pasture grass, restore the productivity of natural vegetation … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2022 · 5,909 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Tropical Grasses on Mine Revegetation for Herbage Supply to Bali Cattle in Sorowako, South Sulawesi, IndonesiaSyamsuddin Hasan, Asmuddin Natsir, Ambo Ako et al.The aim of this study was to evaluate forage quality and absorption of heavy metals in grasses of grazing lands in mine revegetation area. Grazing land was dominated by Brachiaria decumbens (BD), which occupied about 87% in the pasture’ syielding ability of 14.8 Mg DM/ha/year, followed by Centrocema pubescens (CP), Calopogonium mucunoides (CM) and Imperata cylindrica (IC) at 6, 4 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 18 May 2016 · 7,479 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,201 accessesView PDF Cite
