successful transfer of dhp-degrading bacteria from hawaiian goats to australian ruminants to overcome the toxicity of leucaena. | cattle and goats in australia lack the ability to totally degrade 3-hydroxy-4(1h)-pyridone, also known as 3,4-dihydroxy pyridine (3,4 dhp), the ruminal metabolite of mimosine, a toxic aminoacid present in the leguminous shrub leucaena leucocephala. ruminants in hawaii have this capacity due to the presence of micro-organisms able to rapidly degrade the dhp. a mixed bacterial population capable of rapidly degrading dhp in vitro was isolated from a goat on the island of maui. cultures were grown a ... | 1986 | 3790013 |

rotational grazing for control of gastrointestinal nematodes of goats in a wet tropical environment. | a preliminary experiment involving contamination of pasture plots with eggs of haemonchus contortus, trichostronglyus colubriformis and oesophagostomum columbianum every month for a year established that in the tropical environment of the pacific island of tongatapu, hatching and development of all species was rapid and continuous, with a short survival on pasture (3-7 weeks) of the resulting infective larvae. these results indicated that a rotational grazing system consisting of ten paddocks gr ... | 1994 | 8091608 |
Remote analysis of biological invasion and the impact of enemy release. | Escape from natural enemies is a widely held generalization for the success of exotic plants. We conducted a large-scale experiment in Hawaii (USA) to quantify impacts of ungulate removal on plant growth and performance, and to test whether elimination of an exotic generalist herbivore facilitated exotic success. Assessment of impacted and control sites before and after ungulate exclusion using airborne imaging spectroscopy and LiDAR, time series satellite observations, and ground-based field st ... | 2011 | 21939046 |
