Mathematical models to predict the lamb weight at birth and at weaning reared in the tropical warm-climate pasture
Our objective was to evaluate the productive parameters of ewes and their lambs in relation to ewe age and to develop models for predicting lamb...

Prediction of pasture intake by beef cattle in tropical conditions
Forage intake is the most important factor for beef cattle raised on pasture, as it is the basis of the diet. Thus, knowing the variables that affect...

Detoxified castor seed meal replaces soybean meal in the supplement for Holstein-Zebu crossbred steers finished on tropical pasture during the rainy season
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with detoxified castor seed meal (DCM) on the intake,...

The influence of size and distance of Atlantic forest patches on seed rain over tropical pasture
Atlantic Forest has experienced an expansion of vegetation fragments in abandoned pasture areas. Thus, we aimed to evaluate seed rain over abandoned...

The influence of protected fat in supplements on the performance and carcass characteristics of Nellore beef bulls in tropical pasture
The finishing stages for uncastrated Nellore beef cattle on tropical pasture often produce high yielding carcasses with minimal fat cover. This study...

Inclusion of palm kernel cake in the supplement reduces nutrient digestibility but does not interfere with the performance of steers finished on tropical pasture
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing inclusion levels of palm kernel cake (PKC) in the supplement of steers finished on a Uro...

Effects of pasture management and supplementation on the productive performance of recently lambed ewes
The hypothesis was tested that the performance of lactating ewes is affected by the supplementation level and pasture management. Two supplementation...

Tropical Ecology and Deforestation
From the perspective of biological diversity, there are a few regions on Earth that can compare with the tropics in terms of sheer numbers of...

Addition of clinoptilolite in the diet reduces uterine PMN leukocytes and open days in multiparous lactating dairy cows managed in a mountain tropical pasture-based system
This study aimed to assess the effect of adding clinoptilolite in the diet on uterine health and reproductive performance in multiparous lactating...

Litter Deposition and Decomposition in a Tropical Grass-Legume Silvopastoral System
This study hypothesized that the deposition and decomposition of the litter from the legume tree Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth. could improve and...

Rodent suppression of seedling establishment in tropical pasture
Grasses are recognized as a critical regeneration barrier in tropical pastures, yet the effects of rodents and rodent–grass interactions are not well...

Patterns of deadwood amount and deadwood diversity along a natural forest recovery gradient from agriculture to old-growth lowland tropical forests
Deadwood is a key component of nutrient cycling in natural tropical forests, serving as a globally important carbon storage and habitat for a high...

Outcomes of a comparison between pastoral and silvopastoral management on beef cattle productivity, animal welfare and pasture depletion in a Mediterranean extensive farm
In spring 2021, 50 growing steers and heifers of the Maremmana breed (average age 321 d and weight 287 kg) were rotationally stocked under two...
