    The impact of grazing on forage quality of the herbaceous vegetation in the Mamora cork oak forest, Morocco

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: M. Mejjati Alami --- Department of Plant Ecology and Range Science, Morocco T.E. Bedell --- Department of Rangeland Resources, United States S.H. Sharrow --- Department of Rangeland Resources, United States O. Berkat --- Department of Plant Ecology and Range Science, Morocco
    This research was conducted in the Mamora cork oak forest of Morocco to describe the impacts of sheep grazing (no use, 35% use, 70% use) in March, April, May and June of 1987 and 1988 on seasonal changes in forage...

  2. <em>In vitro</em> organic matter disappearance of tanniferous browse using rumen liquid from goats ingesting grass versus browse

    In vitro organic matter disappearance of tanniferous browse using rumen liquid from goats ingesting grass versus browse

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: Caroline C Wambui --- Egerton University, Kenya James P Muir --- Texas A&M AgriLife Research, USA John Githiori --- International Livestock Research Institute, Kenya Barry D Lambert --- Texas A&M AgriLife Research, USA
    In vitro organic matter disappearance (IVOMD) of African browse species often indicates artificially low nutritive value due to the presence of condensed tannins (CT). Diet of the rumen liquor donor may change this if it contains CT. Leaves from 11...

  3. Impact of seasonal nitrogen fertilisation on production characteristics of a mixed grass pasture in the Western Cape province of South Africa

    Impact of seasonal nitrogen fertilisation on production characteristics of a mixed grass pasture in the Western Cape province of South Africa

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Carien Bester --- Department of Agronomy, South Africa Johan Labuschagne --- Research and Technology Development Services, Department of Agriculture Western Cape, South Africa Petrus J Pieterse --- Department of Agronomy, South Africa
    Pasture production in the Western Cape has traditionally been based on temperate species producing the majority of fodder during spring and autumn after which dry matter production decreases in winter. To investigate seasonal fertiliser nitrogen (N) management strategies to optimise...

  4. Effect of nitrogen fertilisation during the cool season on daily growth rate, botanical composition and selected nutritive characteristics of a mixed grass-clover pasture in the Winelands sub-region of the Western Cape

    Effect of nitrogen fertilisation during the cool season on daily growth rate, botanical composition and selected nutritive characteristics of a mixed grass-clover pasture in the Winelands sub-region of the Western Cape

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Johan Labuschagne --- , South Africa Carien Bester --- , South Africa Petrus J Pieterse --- , South Africa
    Nitrogen effects the productivity, botanical composition and quality of grass-clover pastures. Responses to N fertilisation are area and season specific and must be quantified to ensure optimal economical pasture production. A grass-clover pasture mixture was established under irrigation at Elsenburg...
