Abstract:

This thesis investigated the role of carbohydrates in the dietary choices of ruminants with an emphasis on dairy cows. The first two experiments investigated the ability of sheep to select between feeds based on their carbohydrate degradability. A further two indoor experiments using dairy cows were designed to establish whether post-ingestive feedback from rumen fluid propionic acid concentration influenced preference. The final experiment examined the potential of ryegrass bred for high water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) concentrations to increase the long-term (9 days) preferences and intake

Abstract:

The work presented focuses on bacterial zoonoses in northern Nigeria, and more specifically on brucellosis in the Kachia grazing reserve (KGR) - rangeland set-aside by the government to sedentarise Fulani pastoralists. The objectives of the study were to 1) undertake demographic and socioeconomic profiling of the KGR community; 2) review the evidence for brucellosis burden in Nigeria; 3) assess the suitability and performance of brucellosis diagnostic tests selected for use; 4) compare burden of brucellosis across different species (animal and human) and determine Brucella species present in K

Abstract:

L'objectiu de la tesi va ser avaluar la idoneïtat de l'aversió condicionada (CTA) amb clorur de liti (LiCl), per evitar danys en cultius llenyosos durant el pasturatge de les cobertes vegetals. La CTA és un aprenentatge associatiu pel qual un animal deixa de consumir un aliment gràcies a l'administració d'un agent inductor (LiCl). Actualment, els agricultors no permeten el pasturatge de les cobertes dels cultius llenyosos per l’alta palatabilitat d’aquests. A l’Exp. 1, es va crear CTA a l'olivera (aliment nou) amb una sola dosi de LiCl (200 mg/kg PV) en cabres (n = 10) i ovelles (n = 10). L'a

Abstract:

The utilization of alternative feed resources such as agro-industrial by-products or rangelands may contribute to reduce carbon footprint and improve sustainability of livestock farming systems.My thesis aimed at investigating how animals can be made to ingest alternative feed resources containing higher amounts of Plant Secondary compounds (PSCs) than usual forages and concentrates. PSCs are present in agroindutrial by products and in the natural vegetation of rangelands in the Mediterranean area. They are often associated with anti-nutritive properties such as reduced palatability and prote

Abstract:

Cattle operations in the Southeastern United States are primarily cow-calf and stocker based and rely heavily on forage. As such, research regarding supplementation strategies that are specific to both the forage cultivars and management strategies that are common in the region are necessary for accurate nutritional recommendations. Additionally, further research is necessary to develop solutions to cope with the negative effects of fescue toxicosis that are common in the region. Therefore, the objectives of this dissertation are to examine supplementation strategies specific to growing cattle

Abstract:

The livestock sector is facing different challenges, and the demand for higher sustainability seems to be one of the most urgent. This PhD project debated, in particular, the environmental impacts related to ruminant nutrition, focusing on dairy cows, since nutrition is bound tightly to two of the most important sources of impact: enteric CH4 emission and land use change (LUC). Enteric CH4 emission from ruminants represents 29-38% of the total (anthropic + natural) emission of this powerful (21 CO2 equivalent) greenhouse gas. The production of CH4 is a physiological process used by ruminants t

In order to manage this type of systems, we have implemented a robust tool which is the evaluation of the grazing pressure. This latter can establish the relationship between the ruminant and the pasture. This study is made in Bragança region, situated in the northeast part of Portugal.

Abstract:

The practice of grazing alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is limited by frothy bloat. Experiments were conducted to verify that AC Grazeland Br (ACG), an alfalfa selected for a low initial rate of digestion (LIRD), has an effect on digestion and bloat that does not differ from a parental standard, Beaver (BVR). The rate of maturity of ACG, measured morphologically (mean stage by stem count, MSC), was greater (P< .05) than BVR in the field and in a controlled environment. ACG stems matured at a rate of 0.09 MSC d"1 compared to 0.06 MSC D ⁻¹ for BVR. Kinetic models of in vivo dry matter disappe

Abstract:

Knowledge on the grazing/browsing behaviour, especially diet selection, of the different domestic herbivorous species under diverse vegetation communities is of particular importance for the development and application of appropriate grazing management strategies that increase the efficiency of the utilization of the existing vegetation and, consequently, the sustainability of the animal production system. Plant-wax components, namely alkanes and long-chain alcohols (LCOH), have been suggested as faecal markers to estimate diet selection of different ruminant and non-ruminant species. By combi

Abstract:

Portugal’s Northeast production of sheep and goats are based on the exploitation of landscape by-products such as spontaneous native vegetation and agriculture leftovers. Shepherds tend the flocks throughout grazing itineraries every day, crossing a mosaic of patches of varied land uses. During the journey, the shepherd acts together with the sheep and goats to select each patch in creating an ordered sequence of land uses. The focus of the research is on the land-use composition of the grazing itineraries; determinate how they depend on the patterns of the landscape mosaic. It is utilized a

Abstract:

The trees, hedgerows and woods are current configuration of the tree network in several ecological regions of the world. In Trás–os–Montes region, Northeast of Portugal, they are a traditional component of Terra fria landscape and they could be seen in several forms: scatter trees, fencerows, small woodlots, riparian buffer strips, among others. The extensive livestock systems in this region are based on a set of circuits across the landscape. In this practice, flocks interacts with these structures using them for different functions inducing an influence on the itineraries. Our purpose will b
