recovery of trichostrongylus colubriformis infective larvae from three grass species contaminated in the autumn.	this experiment aimed to assess the recovery of infective larvae (l3) of trichostrongylus colubriformis from brachiaria decumbens cv. australiana, cynodon dactylon cv. coast-cross and panicum maximum cv. aruana. the experimental module comprised six plots, with two plots per herbage species. larval survival was assessed from autumn to winter, under the effect of two herbage-paring heights (5 and 30 cm). tthe paring was carried out immediately before contamination with faces containing t. colubri ...	2012	23295818
effect of a supplementation of euphorbia heterophylla on nutritional meat quality of guinea pig (cavia porcellus l.).	the aim of the present work was to study the effect of dietary supplementation of euphorbia heterophylla on the quality of the guinea pig meat. forty guinea pigs were divided into two groups fed ad libitum during 46 days a panicum maximum diet (panicum diet) or a mixed diet (75% panicum maximum+25% euphorbia heterophylla) (paneuphorbia diet) to compare their effects on performances and on the composition of guinea pig tissues and carcass. daily weight gain, liver weight, carcass yield, and the l ...	2012	23305832
social behaviour of cattle in tropical silvopastoral and monoculture systems.	silvopastoral systems can be a good alternative for sustainable livestock production because they can provide ecosystem services and improve animal welfare. most farm animals live in groups and the social organization and interactions between individuals have an impact on their welfare. therefore, the objective of this study was to describe and compare the social behaviour of cattle (bos indicus×bos taurus) in a silvopastoral system based on a high density of leucaena (leucaena leucocephala) com ...	2016	26621331
