In this chapter, we explore the impacts of agricultural practices on the properties of the soil,
discussing conservation tillage, crop rotation (see below), etc. This chapter further discusses …

Different cattle production interventions have been proposed to reduce greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions and increase animal productivity, but few studies have identified their real …

Forage nutrient contents are an important factor explaining the dry matter intake (DMI),
average daily gain (ADG), and methane emissions (CH 4) of ruminants fed indoors …
