The Effect of Behavioural Indicators of Calf Discomfort Following Routine Procedures on Cow Maternal Care
Pain causes altered arousal and specific behaviours that are rare at other times (pain indicators).We examined whether beef cows (mean age 6 years) are sensitive to pain indicators in addition to arousal following ear tagging and rubber ring castration (males only, n = 31) of their calf (n = 58).Behavioural pain indicators and activity were recorde
Effect of shading and nitrogen fertilization on nitrogen metabolism, essential oil content and antimicrobial activity of Achillea millefolium
The Achillea millefolium L.is a perennial here herb with important antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, and antioxidant properties.This research aimed to investigate the effect of shading (75%; black net) and nitrogen fertilization (0, 75 and 150 kg urea ha-1) on the nitrogen metabolism, essential oil yield and antimicrobial a
Amplification and dampening of soil respiration by changes in temperature variability
Accelerated release of carbon from soils is one of the most important feedbacks related to anthropogenically induced climate change.Studies addressing the mechanisms for soil carbon release through organic matter decomposition have focused on the effect of changes in the average temperature, with little attention to changes in temperature variabili
