TLDR
The Pantanal comprises a number of landscape units, submitted to a flood pulse with variable intensity or regularity, and one of these units, the flooded plains, is important in cattle raising, where consumption by cattle was also more intense during the months of greater precipitation.Abstract:
The Pantanal comprises a number of landscape units, submitted to a flood pulse with variable intensity or regularity. One of these units, the flooded plains, is important in cattle raising. This study was carried out in the northern portion of the Pantanal and presents data related to the productive dynamics of the flooded native pastures both protected from and exposed to cattle. The greatest total biomass values were for the protected pasture due to accumulated dead biomass. Net primary production presented smaller values at the flood-season start and increasing gradually beginning in the subsequent rainy season. However, consumption by cattle was also more intense during the months of greater precipitation. The effect of cattle in pastures is of fundamental importance to management since it prevents the dead biomass excess that increases fire risks.read more

TL;DR: The results showed that single or co-infection by EIAV and T. evansi caused different degree of anemia in the infected animals, and the health of horses in Brazilian Pantanal is also influenced by differences in horse management and environmental circumstances.
