Abstract The main objective of this study was to determine what extent grazing pressure and timing modulate the seasonal progression herbage quality in hilly Mediterranean grassland systems. conducted during six consecutive years between 2003 2008 at Karei Deshe experimental farm, eastern Galilee, Israel, dominated by rich hemicryptophytic grassland. Treatments included two different intensities, heavy moderate, with 1·1 0·55 cows ha −1 , respectively, management that a continuous stocking...
The feeding behaviour of Mamber dairy goats grazing on Mediterranean woodland in the Upper Galilee mountains Israel was studied throughout a year (1991/92). percentages crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid (ADF), lignin (ADL) and condensed tannins (CT) were determined samples collected by hand to simulate plant parts selected goats. Total feed intake evaluated using Cr-sesquioxide as an external marker determine amount faeces excreted, 48 h sacco degradability assess...
An ecologically sound approach to the problem of brush encroachment onto Israeli rangeland might be their utilization by goats, but better knowledge feeding selectivity and ability goats thrive in encroached areas is required devise viable production systems. Direct observation bites could provide precise accurate estimates diet selection, construction a sufficiently large database would require too much time. The present study describes first attempt construct fecal near-infrared...
The effects of breed, sex, and age goats on fecal near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy-predicted percentage juniper in the diet were investigated, as spectral differences feces from differing estimated genetic merit for consumption. Eleven each combination, representing 2 breeds (Angora meat-type), 3 sex classifications (female, intact male, castrated male), categories [adult kid (less than 12 mo age)] fed complete, pelleted rations containing 0 or 14% juniper. After 7 d same diet, samples...
