Abstract The objective of this study was to determine whether feeding tannin-containing hays heifers and mature beef cows influences enteric methane (CH4) emissions nitrogen (N) excretion relative traditional legume grass hays. Fifteen (Exp. 1) 9 yearling 2) were each randomly assigned treatment groups in an incomplete bock design with 2 periods 6 types 3 fed period (n = 5 per treatment). Groups [birdsfoot trefoil (BFT), sainfoin (SAN), small burnet (SML)] or non-tannin-containing [alfalfa...

Recently, there has been renewed interest in reducing excess inputs into turf, with a special emphasis on water use. One potential mechanism to achieve this goal is the use of plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) applications. Plant research turfgrass limited, but few studies that have conducted show PGPR can reduce biotic and abiotic stress turfgrass. Two creeping bentgrass ( Agrostis stolonifera ) cultivars (Penncross 007) were treated either Blend 20, DH44, water, or nitrogen...

Abstract Background Feed is the most costly input for US ruminant livestock production systems, and increasing utilization efficiency of irrigated forage systems can improve system profitability. This study assessed production, utilization, quality 22 intensively managed perennial grasses legumes. Methods Forages were cultivated as monocultures under irrigation subjected to mob stocking or similarly frequent intense mowing 2 years at 6‐week intervals between May September. Twenty‐two legumes...

Abstract Incorporating clover into lawns may reduce fertilizer applications and improve pollinator forage; however, much of the recent research has focused on white ( Trifolium repens ), while other clovers have not been as widely researched. White, strawberry fragiferum crimson incarnatum rose T. hirtum ) grown dicultures with Kentucky bluegrass Poa pratensis were tested in a greenhouse study under nonfertilized nitrogen (N) fertilized conditions to determine their influence soil...

In this paper, an approach of laser-etched material reduction combined with a chemical method is presented to obtain superamphiphobic copper surfaces UV resistance, adjustable oil adhesion, and corrosion resistance.

ABSTRACT Transport of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and Giardia lamblia cysts in the aquatic environment is poorly understood. Information about their transport essential for actual risk assessment development effective control practices. Several studies have suggested that attachment to soil particles not likely occur, but hypothesis has been well tested, partly because enumeration C. or G. [written as (oo)cysts] presence difficult. In this paper, a combination flow cytometry,...

Quaternary Heusler alloy Ni50Mn8Fe17Ga25 ribbons have been prepared by the melt-spun method. The exhibit large negative magnetoresistance (MR){=[R(H)−R(0)]∕R(0)} over a wide temperature region, particularly in region during martensitic phase transformation. MR decreases significantly after annealing. is isotropic and mainly attributed to local magnetic disorders, clusters, heterogeneity. maximum at transformation may be due redistribution of electrons increase boundary scattering. This...

Public concerns about water issues are key considerations in responding to changing hydrologic conditions. Literature is mixed on the social profiles associated with resource-related risks. Using data from a household survey, we compare shortage, climate change impacts supply, poor quality, and flooding. We assess combined influence of locational factors each concern variations across three valleys northern Utah. Generalized linear modeling used, given ordinal nature most variables. Water...

Abstract It is generally accepted that there a vast, well‐populated biosphere in the subsurface, but depth limit of terrestrial has yet to be determined, largely because lack access subsurface. Here as part Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) project eastern China, we acquired continuous rock cores and endeavored probe depth‐dependent distribution microorganisms at geologically unique site, is, convergent plate boundary. Microbiological analyses ultra‐high‐pressure metamorphic...

Light quality can influence the photosynthetic characteristics, morphology and physiological processes of plants. To investigate effects different light qualities (white light, W; red R; blue B; mixture RB) emitting diodes (LEDs) white cold fluorescent lamp on growth fruiting mulberry plants (Morus alba L. cv. ‘Longsang No.1’), were grown under qualities: W, R, B RB same photo flux density (PPFD; 100 μmol m-2 s-1) for 20 d. Our results showed that stem length leaf area R highest....

Grazing studies were carried out over a 5-year period using pregnant cows, yearling calves and 2-year-old heifers to investigate the influence of diet on intake, methane (CH4) emissions retention nitrogen (N). Monoculture legume (birdsfoot trefoil, BFT cicer milkvetch, CMV) or grass (meadow bromegrass, MBG) pastures rotationally stocked, during year 4 5, treatments contrasted with total mixed rations (TMR) fed in confinement. The sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) method was used continuously measure...

Historically, white clover ( Trifolium repens ) seed was included in turfgrass mixtures to provide biodiversity and nitrogen (N) lawns. White dicultures have been studied recently for inclusion both warm- cool-season turfgrasses, with the goals of reducing fertilizer applications providing pollinator forage lawns; however, other clovers not as widely researched turfgrass. The objectives this study were evaluate 1) if white, strawberry T. fragiferum ), crimson incarnatum rose hirtum can...

Abstract BACKGROUND Perennial legumes cultivated under irrigation in the Mountain West USA have non‐fibrous carbohydrate (NFC) concentrations exceeding 400 g kg −1 , a level commonly found concentrate‐based ruminant diets. Our objective was to determine influence of NFC concentration and plant secondary compounds on vitro rumen digestion grass, legume forb forages compared with their isolated neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction. Forages were composited from ungrazed paddocks rotationally...

Introduction: China has the world’s largest amount of antimony resources and plays a vital role in global industry. The Huangyangling area Xinjiang belongs to Lazhulong-Huangyangling mineralization belt; this is rich ore resources, with potential for discovery additional ore. This high-elevation mountainous located northwestern region northern Tibetan Plateau, harsh natural environment poor transportation access; thus, use traditional geological exploration methods limited, remote sensing...

Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis can use gluconate (GLCN) as well galactose an energy source and because sodium GLCN be added during salting of Cheddar cheese to reduce calcium lactate crystal formation, our primary objective was determine if the presence in is another risk factor for unwanted gas production leading slits cheese. A secondary calculate amount CO2 produced storage relate this gas-forming substrate that utilized. Ribose promote growth Pa. WDC04 (P.waWDC04) high numbers storage....

The objective of this study was to compare the Color Muse Spectro 1 sensor HunterLab MiniScan XE Plus spectrophotometer for evaluating beef color. coordinates (lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), chroma (C*), and hue (h*)), myoglobin redox forms (metmyoglobin (MMb), deoxymyoglobin (DMb), oxymyoglobin (OMb)), metmyoglobin reducing ability (MRA) were measured on steaks over a 5-days storage period. results indicated that L*, b*, C*, MMb%, OMb%, MRA% values obtained with comparable...
