Site and provenance interact to influence seasonal diameter growth of Pseudotsuga menziesii by Constance A. Harrington, Peter J. Gould, Richard Cronn

“…In 2022, diameter growth rates showed significant variation by site and provenance; the interaction between site and provenance was significant in all but the first growth interval. Intra-seasonal growth rates were not consistent across sites; there was substantial diameter growth early in the season on sites with continental climates, little diameter growth by any provenance after early August at three high elevation sites, and most sources continued growth later in the season at coastal sites. …”

Effect of supplementing total mixed ration with ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) oil on the performance of buffalo calves by M WADHWA, M P S BAKSHI

“…After completion of this trial, another 138-day feeding trial was conducted on 18 male buffalo calves divided into 2 groups and were offered a TMR-2 (concentrate: wheat straw ratio of 50:50 on DM basis) or TMR-2 supplemented with 0.05% ajwain oil. In the first growth trial, supplementing the control diet with ajwain oil did not show any impact on daily DM intake, digestibility of nutrients and N-retention, but in the second experiment the digestibility of all the nutrients, except that of crude protein was improved significantly in the ajwain oil supplemented group. …”
