• Adapting to climate change on desert rangelands: A multi-site comparison of grazing behavior plasticity of heritage and improved beef cattle 

      Cibils, Andrés Francisco; Estell, Richard E.; Spiegal, Sheri; Nyamuryekung'e, Shelemia; McIntosh, Matthew; Duni, Danielle M.; Herrera Conegliano, Oscar Ariel; Rodriguez Almeida, Felipe A.; Roacho Estrada, Octavio; Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Duniway, Michael C.; Utsumi, Santiago A.; Gonzalez, Alfredo L. (Elsevier, 2023-02)
      Climate change is amplifying the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of desert rangeland forages through its impact on precipitation variability. Foraging behavior plasticity (an animal's ability to alter its behavior to cope ...
    • Comportamiento y distribución animal en pastoreo extensivo 

      Herrera Conegliano, Oscar Ariel; Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Blanco, Lisandro Javier (Estación Experimental Agropecuaria La Rioja, INTA, 2021-06)
      En la actualidad los términos “comportamiento animal” y “distribución animal” son muy utilizados sobre todo en ambientes ganaderos extensivos, y aunque están muy relacionados entre sí, son diferentes conceptualmente. Este ...
    • Defoliation intensity and simulated grazing strategy effects on three C4 rangeland bunchgrasses 

      Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Namur, Pedro Ramón (2018-01)
      Defoliation intensity and timing are two important factors determining plants response to grazing. These factors can be managed by adjusting stocking rate and applying a grazing strategy. In a 6-yr clipping experiment ...
    • Differential water-use strategies and drought resistance in Trichloris crinita plants from contrasting aridity origins 

      Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Fernandez, Roberto J.; Golluscio, Rodolfo Angel; Blanco, Lisandro Javier (2013-08)
      In arid environments, water availability is the main limiting factor for primary production, and it is expected that not only drought-resistance, but also plant strategies for soil water use will be under natural selection. ...
    • Foraging behavior of Argentine Criollo and Angus cows grazing semi-desert rangelands in the Arid Gran Chaco region of Argentina 

      Herrera Conegliano, Oscar Ariel; Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Utsumi, Santiago A.; Cibils, Andrés Francisco; Cendoya, Maria Gabriela; Jaimes, Florencia; Moltoni, Andres Fernando; Ricci, Patricia (Elsevier, 2022-11)
      We monitored grazing behavior and habitat selection of Argentine Criollo (AC), South American heritage cattle breed, and Angus (AA) cows during summer and winter of 2016 (wetter year) and 2017 (drier year) at a site in La ...
    • Ganadería de precisión 

      Herrera Conegliano, Oscar Ariel; Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Blanco, Lisandro Javier (Estación Experimental Agropecuaria La Rioja, INTA, 2021-06)
      Actualmente, en promedio el 33% de las proteínas consumidas en la dieta humana provienen de la ganadería, pero los efectos del cambio climático como inundaciones o sequías podrían afectar la producción agropecuaria. ...
