During the decade a 'new rangeland science' has emerged. One of the tenets of this science is that pastoralists should not adhere to a single conservative stocking rate but rather, adopt an opportunistic strategy where numbers will fluctuate widely in response to good and bad seasons. It is furth...

Serum and liver retinol concentrations and blood β-carotene concentrations were studied in 30 Bos indicus heifers rendered deficient of vitamin A over 180 days and then given treatments of access to algae-based lick blocks (n = 10), injectable retinyl palmitate and molasses-based lick blocks (n =...

Most studies of infectious diseases in East African cattle have concentrated on gastro-intestinal parasites and vector-borne diseases. As a result, relatively little is known about viral diseases, except for those that are clinically symptomatic or which affect international trade such as foot an...

This research describes and analyses how smallholder crop livestock farmers in rural Ea Kar, Vietnam, were able to take advantage of the rising demand for meat in urban centres and transform cattle production from a traditional, extensive grazing system to a more intensive, stall-fed system that ...

In the last decades, strategies have been evaluated to reduce rumen methane (CH4) production by supplementing tropical forages rich in secondary compounds; however, most of these beneficial effects need to be validated in terms of their persistence over time. The aim of this study was to assess C...
