Abstract

The article discusses recent publications in the journal Grass & Forage Science, which include review papers and articles based on presentations at conferences and symposia. The current issue features a book review and two papers from the European Grassland Federation symposium, as well as two papers from the International Grassland Congress. The journal also covers topics such as green biorefinery, drought impacts on grasslands, plant diversity in grasslands, forage quality, agrivoltaic production systems, tropical grasslands, and plant-soil relationships.

Abstract

Carotenoids are isoprenoids widely distributed in foods that have been always part of the diet of humans. Unlike the other so-called food bioactives, some carotenoids can be converted into retinoids exhibiting vitamin A activity, which is essential for humans. Furthermore, they are much more versatile as they are relevant in foods not only as sources of vitamin A, but also as natural pigments, antioxidants, and health-promoting compounds. Lately, they are also attracting interest in the context of nutricosmetics, as they have been shown to provide cosmetic benefits when ingested in appropriate amounts. In this work, resulting from the collaborative work of participants of the COST Action European network to advance carotenoid research and applications in agro-food and health (EUROCAROTEN, , ) research on carotenoids in foods and feeds is thoroughly reviewed covering aspects such as analysis, carotenoid food sources, carotenoid databases, effect of processing and storage conditions, new trends in carotenoid extraction, daily intakes, use as human, and feed additives are addressed. Furthermore, classical and recent patents regarding the obtaining and formulation of carotenoids for several purposes are pinpointed and briefly discussed. Lastly, emerging research lines as well as research needs are highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

20. Trace elements in grasses and legumes in relation to cow requirements

Subjects

Abstract

Trace elements are usually allocated as inorganic supplements in dairy cow feeding to avoid deficiency. To increase self-sufficiency ofmicronutrients on farms, knowledge and choice of plant species could help to improve and balance the mineral status of cow diets. Effects of grassland species on micronutrient profiles were studied during the season. Species were examined while growing in binary grass-legume mixtures. A range of herbage micronutrient contents is presented here, and discussed in relation to dairy cattle requirements and feeding.

Abstract

peer-reviewed 1. A co-ordinated continental-scale field experiment across 31 sites was used to compare the biomass yield of monocultures and four-species mixtures associated with intensively managed agricultural grassland systems. To increase complementarity in resource use, each of the four species in the experimental design represented a distinct functional type derived from two levels of each of two functional traits, nitrogen acquisition (N2-fixing legume or non-fixing grass) crossed with temporal development (fast-establishing or temporally persistent). Relative abundances of the four functional types in mixtures were systematically varied at sowing to vary the evenness of the same four species in mixture communities at each site, and sown at two levels of seed density. 2. Across multiple years, the total yield (including weed biomass) of the mixtures exceeded that of the average monoculture in >97% of comparisons. It also exceeded that of the best monoculture (transgressive overyielding) in about 60% of sites, with a mean yield ratio of mixture to best-performing monoculture of 1.07 across all sites. Analyses based on yield of sown species only (excluding weed biomass) demonstrated considerably greater transgressive overyielding (significant at about 70% of sites, ratio of mixture to best-performing monoculture = 1.18). 3. Mixtures maintained a resistance to weed invasion over at least three years. In mixtures, median values indicate

Abstract

Editorial: Sustainability of grasslands and grass-based ruminant production - Topics from the 28th General Meeting of the European Grassland Federation I Grass and Forage Science i (GFS) has a history of incidentally publishing articles based on presentations at conferences and symposia of the European Grassland Federation (EGF) (Table 1). This points out the important link between grasslands and ruminant production, although the importance of ecosystem services that grasslands provide has also recently been recognized (D'Ottavio et al., 2018) as well as novel uses of grass biomass such as green biorefineries (Franco et al., 2019).
