The goal of these experiments was to ensile combinations of shrimp or crab waste
with perennial ryegrass straw and analyze it for silage quality and ruminal degradability.
The rapid deterioration of seafood wastes required initial preservation prior to ensiling
to minimize odor production and protein breakdown. Eight experiments were conducted...
The body size (W) of animal species is one of the best predictors of
population density (D) when large assemblages are considered. It has been
shown that theoretically the D-W relationship can be the consequence of two
other distributions: the log-normal distribution of body sizes of the species and
of...
