Sentence examples for livestock performance from inspiring English sources
Improvements in livestock performance and rangeland management practices will contribute to more effective regulation of CH4 emissions.
The behavior data suggests that livestock performance might gain from co-grazing management.
Management strategies that maintain livestock performance while reducing intake in times of low forage availability, such as drought, are valuable.
Key factors driving these outcomes included the physical and productivity limitations of the soil resource, poor livestock performance and poor water quality.
On the other hand, restoration of degraded rangelands may also lead to an increase in the organic matter digestibility of edible forage ingested by grazing livestock, which can increase livestock performance and reduce CH4 production from grazing livestock when expressed in terms of CH4 production per unit of livestock product output or per unit of daily weight gain13.
The FAO stated that 'reproduction is the key to improved livestock performance' (FAO 1990).
These scenarios have largely affected crop and livestock performances in the area, with corresponding negative effects on household food security and income positions.
Smallholder responses to challenges related to their output indicated climate variability as the top possible cause for depressed crop and livestock performances in the area (Fig. 4), and this was mostly manifested through prolonged droughts and rainfall uncertainties.
These were manifested through increased rainfall uncertainties, intensifying droughts, and rising temperatures, with effects on crop and livestock performances in the area, accompanied by plummeting household food security and income positions.
In conclusion, grass clover mixtures with the legumes present in proportions of 30 to 50% seem to be an optimal system: they yield high amounts of N from symbiosis, they generate high forage yields of high nutritive value, which in turn lead to high voluntary intakes and livestock performances and, at the same time, they minimize the risk of N losses to the environment.
These assessments are done simultaneously with those of livestock production performance.
