TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different doses of Leucaena leucocephala (LL) and Salix babylonica (SB) extracts, rich in secondary metabolites, and their mixture (LLSB, 1:1, v/v) on in vitro gas production and some ruminal fermentation patterns such as truly degraded substrate (TDS), short chain fatty acids (SCFA), and microbial protein production (MP) fed to growing lambs.

TL;DR: In this article, the main characteristics of cattle production in dual-purpose systems in Mexico are discussed, which can be described as those that produce milk (daily milking) and meat (calf after weaning), on every productive cycle.

TL;DR: Large data sets from a national milk recording scheme in the United Kingdom were used to calculate the genetic and phenotypic correlations between calving interval and a range of lactation traits within the Holstein breed, and possible strategies were suggested for improving the relationship between milk yield and fertility in dairy cows.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate the successful integration of grazed pasture and maize silage for the efficient production of milk, and provide evidence on the productive use of limited campesino land resources in the face of unviable economic conditions for maize grain production.

TL;DR: Milk production provides economic stability to DPF, whereas FL and low input use are key elements that allow low costs in the production of milk and calves in DPF in Central Mexico.
