Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluation 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 abstractPerformance of Stocker Cattle Managed On Pastures Over-Seeded With Annual ForagesMichael Martinez, Daniela Brown, Sidney Garrison et al.The goal of this study was to determine the performance of stocker calves managed on permanent pastures over-seeded with winter and summer annuals. Twenty-one 7-month-old Angus calves (BW = 263 ± 24 kg) sourced from the university farm, were randomly assigned to three treatments. The treatments were: i) Grass Hay Only (GHO; Control; 5 calves), ii) Permanent Pasture Only (PPO; … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 5 Aug 2026 · 889 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Complete Feed Silage Made from Agricultural Waste on Milk Yield and Quality of Dairy CowsAmbo Ako, Syahdar Baba, Fatma et al.The problem facing dairy cow producers in tropical area is the low availability of proper nutrition, especially during the dry season. One solution to overcome this problem is to utilize technology of Complete Feed (CF) silage using ensiled several local abundant ingredients from agricultural wastes. This study aimed to find a formulation of CF silage from agricultural wastes as forage … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2016 · 7,502 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Spatial Distribution of Apis Dorsata Host Plants Using an Integrated Geographical Information System-Remote Sensing ApproachIzzat F. Ibrahim, Siva K. Balasundram, Nur-Ashikin P. Abdullah et al.Apis dorsata is one of the important honeybee species in tropical and subtropical regions that forages on various plants including herbs, grasses, forest trees and plantation trees. However, information on the spatial distribution of various pollen sources of Apis dorsata is still lacking. This study aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of the major honeybee plants that serve as pollen … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,585 accessesView PDF Cite
