A avaliação das características fecais em pequenos ruminantes constitui uma ferramenta prática e não invasiva para o monitoramento do status nutricional e da saúde gastrointestinal dos rebanhos. Com esse propósito, foram coletadas 728 amostras fecais em caprinos e ovinos, por meio de am...
Prediction of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, tree carbon stocks, enteric emissions, and beef production is essential for evaluating low-carbon livestock systems. However, there is still limited information regarding the use of mechanistic models capable of simultaneously integrating these component...
Os sistemas agrossilvipastoris representam uma estratégia fundamental para a consolidação de uma produção agrícola mais sustentável, especialmente diante dos impactos acumulados por décadas de práticas intensivas e degradantes ao meio ambiente. Ao integrarem componentes agrícolas, florestais e pecuários em...
The intercropping of grasses with legumes and the application of gypsum is an alternative to reduce production costs and fluctuations in forage availability. This research aimed to evaluate the mass of Urochloa ssp. cv. BRS RB331 Ipyporã and Stylosanthes cv. Campo Grande (80% Stylo...
Slash-and-burn land-use is associated with significant C-emissions during the burn. Substitution of fire by slash-and-mulch has been proposed as an alternative management option which could potentially reduce emissions and improve soil quality by increasing C-stocks in SOM. This implies that part...
A crescente preocupação com o impacto ambiental e a busca por alternativas alimentares sustentáveis têm impulsionado o desenvolvimento de produtos plant-based. Este estudo objetivou elaborar hambúrgueres vegetais utilizando resíduos de coco babaçu e outros ingredientes regionais, explorando seu perfil ...
The cashew pseudo fruit can be used to animal feeding in tropical and subtropical countries as Brazil, Ivory Coast and Vietnam. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the intake, digestibility of nutrients and nitrogen balance of dehydrated cashew apple by-product to sheep. The experi...
From the diversity of phytophagous stink bugs found in rice fields in Itapecuru-Mirim, Maranhão, we have the first record of Edessa meditabunda in the crop, and the second record in Brazil of Paratibraca dubia. Additionally, Tibraca limbativentris, Oebalus poecilus, and Oebalus ypsilongriseu...
Litter decomposition and livestock excreta are two important sources for replenishing nutrients in the soil of the pastures, and their decomposition rates are afected by their quality, management practices, forage productivity, and biotic and abiotic factors. The objective of this research w...
