The work herein reported closes the evaluation of the role of kikuyu grass in small-scale
dairy systems in the highlands of Mexico. The objective was to compare the productive …

Small-grain cereals may be a forage alternative for small-scale dairy systems under limiting
climatic conditions given their short agronomic cycle. Cereals as dual-purpose forages …

Highly digestible forages are associated with an in vitro low-methane (CH4) rumen
fermentation profile and thus the possibility of reducing CH4 emissions from forage-based …

The work assessed the productive response and estimated enteric methane (CH 4)
emissions of dairy cows grazing in small-scale dairy systems. Treatments were grazing …

The study reviewed carbon footprint (CF) analyses for milk production in Latin America from
cradle to farm gate. The objective was to estimate (1) the effect of feeding management (zero …

Simple Summary The present study simulated the effects of different dairy cow diets based
on local feeding strategies on enteric methane (CH4) emissions and surpluses of crude …

Understanding the grazing process and animal response to sward structures (eg, sward
height) is key to setting targets for efficient grazing management. We hypothesized that the …

An on-farm participatory study was undertaken to assess changes over seasons on the
availability, botanical and morphological composition, and nutritive value of herbage from …

Small-scale dairy systems contribute to mitigate rural poverty as they provide a stable source
of incomes to farming families, and also contribute with over 30% of national milk production …

In small-scale dairy systems (SSDS), multispecies pastures and small-grain cereal silages
have been shown to be a feasible option to cope with the possible effects of climate change …
