This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Napier grass {Pennisetum purpvreum), also known locally as elephant grass or Xapier fodder, was introduced into Hawaii in 1915 by the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station. This large canelike perennial is a native of tropical Africa (1, p. 334), 2 where it naturally attains a height of 6 to 8 feet. Experiments in different parts of South Africa {6, p. 60; 8, p. 8) showed Xapier grass to be of especial value as a green-fodder crop and capable of being made into silage of good quality. All lands of livestock and particularly horses were fond of the grass and it produced enormous yields. Once the valuable features of this tropical grass became known, its use spread rapidly. Xapier grass became common in the extreme southern part of the United States, various countries in South America, Australia, and subtropical and tropical regions the world over.

Download or read book Climate Change and Livestock Production Recent Advances and Future Perspectives written by Veerasamy Sejian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the importance of sustainable livestock production from a food security perspective in the changing climate scenario. It covers the amelioration of climate change impacts and describes the various mitigation strategies to reduce enteric methane emissions. The book targets sustainable livestock production by covering diverse concepts of amelioration, mitigation, and policy up-gradation. Further, it examines various adverse impacts of climate change on growth, meat, milk, and reproduction in livestock. Most importantly, the book covers novel aspects of quantifying heat stress response of livestock based on non-invasive methodologies, including infrared thermal imaging, sensor-based applications, hair, urine, and fecal cortisol estimation. Particular emphasis was given to describing the skin-based novel approaches to establish climate resilience in indigenous breeds. The book provides detailed descriptions of alleviating climate change impacts on shelter management, nutritional interventions, and genetics-based strategies involving advanced genomic tools. Lastly, it highlights the livestock species which could be considered ideal climate-resilient animal models to withstand the adversities associated with climate change.

This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napier Grass (Pennisetum Purpureum): A Pasture and Green Fodder Crop for Hawaii From the relatively high protein content Shown in table 6 it seems probable that the samples were taken from the plant crop when the forage was leafy and immature. Langer states further (6, p. 65) that tests Of the digestibility Of Napier grass have Shown its nutritive ratio to be which com pares very favorably with the better-quality grasses. Further trials on the digestibility Of this grass are needed, for it must be remembered that the nutritive ratio of a grass is much narrower in an immature grass than in a mature one. For feeding young growing calves and dairy cows in milk, Napier grass should be cut at a rather immature stage, with the plants from 3 to 5 feet in height, so as to get the higher protein content, while for fattening beef cattle it might be fed at a Slightly more advanced stage in growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production of food to meet the demands of an ever-increasing human population in the world is the major task and challenge to agriculture today. The conventional methods of plant breeding alone can no longer cope with the situation. The success of any crop improvement program depends on the extent of genetic variability in the base population, but due to denuding of forests and agricultural land, the naturally occurring pool of germplasm is being depleted. An urgent need is therefore ap parent to create new variability and increase the genetic base of agricul tural crops. Agricultural biotechnology has progressed to a stage in the produc tion of plants where specific characteristics to improve their yield, ap pearance, disease-resistance, nutritional quality and adaptation to ad verse soil conditions can be built into the seed. This concept of built-in quality implies a continuous scientific endeavour to improve plant char acters using a wide range of possibilities, and it also implies a scrutiny of the materials and methods available in the world today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forage in Ruminant Nutrition is the 12th text in a series of books about animal feeing and nutrition. The series is intended to keep readers updated on the developments occurring in these fields. As it is apparent that ruminant animals are important throughout the world because of the meat and milk they produce, knowledge about the feeds available to ruminants must also be considered for increased production and efficiency. This text provides information that readers will find considerably invaluable about forage feeds, such as grass, legumes, hay, and straw. The book is composed of 16 chapters that feature the following concepts of ruminant forage feeding: • composition of ruminant products and the nutrients required for maintenance and reproduction; • energy and nutrient available in forage: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, copper, iodine, zinc, manganese, selenium, and cobalt; • intake of forage by housed ruminants; • grazing; • forage digestibility; • protein in ruminant nutrition; • protein and other nutrient deficiencies. This volume will be an invaluable reference for students and professionals in agricultural chemistry and grassland and animal husbandry researches.
