TL;DR: A combination of uni- and multiplex PCR assays targeting 58 virulence genes (VGs) associated with Escherichia coli strains causing intestinal and extraintestinal disease in humans and other mammals was used to analyze the VG repertoire of 23 commensal and clinical porcine enterotoxigenic E. coli strains.

TL;DR: In this article, results of three long-term trials (13-25 years) located near Wagga Wagga in temperate Australia were used to assess C dynamics under different tillage and stubble management practices, and under cropping intensities in pasture/crop rotations.

TL;DR: Diet was found to have an indirect effect on the level of oxidative stress and indicators of energy balance and oxidative stress showed that high producing animals had a lower degree of negative energy balance.

TL;DR: A field survey of soil carbon stocks was undertaken in 2007 in central and southern NSW as well as north-eastern Victoria, using a paired-site approach, and five comparisons were included: native v. introduced perennial, perennial v. annual, continuous v. control, and improved v. unimproved pastures.

TL;DR: There are large differences in the relative yield potential of forages and this study indicates the possibility of increasing yield of perennial forages by at least 2-fold on commercial farms, by improving water, and fertiliser management.
