Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) has been increasingly used as a forage component in dairy grazing systems due to its capacity reduce nitrogen (N) losses, while improving or maintaining milk production. A meta-analysis was conducted quantify the effect of plantain on production and urinary (UN) excretion by cows. The main outcomes this analysis included yield, solids (fat + protein), protein fat components milk, N concentration urine, daily urine volume, total UN Overall, pastures...
Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) is recognised for its ability to improve summer feed productivity as well mitigate nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from grazed pastoral soils. This study aims determine the proportion of plantain required in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne and white clover (Trifolium repens L.), or RWC, mixed swards maintain yield stability quantify N2O emission reductions. The botanical composition was monitored when sown at different rates 0%, 30%, 50% 70% RWC pastures...
The use of plantain pasture in dairy systems can potentially reduce nitrogen (N) leaching losses via the lower N concentration urine (UNc) cows. Reducing urinary load while cows graze pastures risk from patches. Research needs to demonstrate that these environmental benefits are not at expense milk production and farm profit. Three groups 20 grazed following three treatments: (i) plantain, (ii) plantain-clover mix (plantain, red [Trifolium pratense] white clover), or (iii) ryegrass-white...
Incorporating plantain with perennial ryegrass and white clover (RGWC) can improve the quality quantity of grazing pastures; however, sowing rate could affect persistence plantain, pasture yield, nutritive value in different seasons. The objective this study was to evaluate effect increasing rates when established RGWC on dry matter (DM) botanical composition, value, bioactive compounds over first two years after sowing; determine relationship between content characteristics treatments were...
Traditional pastures in temperate regions face limitations such as reduced growth and nutritional quality during the summer season. Plantain ( P . lanceolata L.) offers advantages like increased yield decreased nitrogen losses from grazing ruminants. Effective management is essential for pasture health, defoliation frequency intensity play a pivotal role. This study aimed to evaluate plantain’s regrowth, yield, morpho-physiological chemical responses under different frequencies intensities,...
There is industry concern over the difficulty of maintaining a satisfactory plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) content within plantain/ perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne dairy pastures. One cause sharp decline in may be treading damage from grazing cows during early spring. In an experiment at Massey University, Palmerston North, impact cow on plantain/perennial pasture was investigated two production years. Measurements yield, canopy development, botanical composition and growing point...
The objective of this study was to determine the effect grazing plantain-based pastures on urine volume, urination frequency, and urinary nitrogen (UN) concentration dairy cows under a typical pastoral practice offering approximately 25% supplemented feeds. experiment completely randomised design with three pasture treatments (perennial ryegrass-white clover (RGWC); RGWC + low plantain rate (PLL); high (PLH)), five replicate plots, repeated in two sequential periods. Forty-five lactating...
Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) is a forage that produces secondary metabolites with one, aucubin, known to inhibit soil nitrification. This study aimed quantify the exudation of aucubin and catalpol by plantain root systems in hydroponic experiment; evaluate effect on nitrogen (N) leaching nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from urine applied ryegrass-white clover swards; compare N losses sward after cows fed was applied. Nitrate (NO3−) N2O were measured lysimeter experiment. Catalpol, but not...
Objective:The study aimed to quantify milk production and urinary nitrogen (UN) excretion of dairy cows grazing pastures containing varying contents plantain (Plantago lanceolata) in different seasons, under a typical farm practice.Methods: Four pasture treatments: perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne)white clover (Trifolium repens) (RGWC), RGWC + low rate, medium high were established four adaptation areas (1 ha each) 20 experimental plots (800 m 2 each), rotationally grazed by over 14 events...
TThere is evidence that plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) persistence within perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne dominant dairy pastures usually poor. One factor potentially limiting content and treading damage, caused by cows grazingpasture while the soil moisture high. The impact of damage on regrowth survival was investigated in two field experiments at Massey University, Palmerston North. In a small-plot study, cow simulated separateplantain using novel device. Subsequently, larger-scale...
Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) has been identified by the New Zealand dairy sector as an option for reducing nitrogen losses from grazed pastures. However, there is growing concern over its poor persistence. Reports have suggested that plantain does not tolerate waterlogged soils; however, little scientific evidence to support those claims. Thus, present study aimed investigate impact of waterlogging on growth and survival. In a glasshouse, three water treatments were applied plants in...
This work determined the potency of hexyl-ciprofloxacin molecules that reversibly interact with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) passivated 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) on Escherichia coli cells. For this, partition modified antibiotic between different compartments colloid was using analytical techniques. First, concentration in continuous phase colloid. Subsequently, exposed to a volume organic immiscible solvent and transferred phase. Comparison amount each revealed interaction reversible....
