Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, a leguminous shrub, has come into use as a fodder plant for animals in the Ryukyu Islands as it provides highly palatable, high quality feed (Kitamura, 1985). It is superior to other feeds available in this regard (Higashiohmine, Aramoto & Yamashiro, 1971; Isa et al. 1982).

Recent developments in cereal breeding for forage production have given the potential to greatly increase annual forage dry matter (DM) production. This paper reports on the findings from two cereal forage production trials on irrigated Canterbury land. Trial 1 studied the potential of a range of single and multi-grazed cereal forages over a 9 month period to produce high yields and quality from both grazing and whole-crop silage forage. Trial 2 studied the suitability of different cereal/ legume combinations for green-chop silage grown over a three month summer period. These two cereal forage systems, when combined in a 12 month period, produced in excess of 25 tonnes of high quality forage per hectare, almost double the DM production achieved using current perennial pasture based systems. Trial 1 showed no significant difference in the total DM produced by either single or multi-graze treatments. In Trial 2 pea/cereal combinations produced over 6 t DM/ha. Due to an earlier final harvest the multi-graze system is more easily combined with the summer crop and more likely to produce a lower cost and more sustainable forage system. Animal performance on forage produced in Trial 1 showed that dairy calves can grow well on cereal forages during winter. Keywords: cereal, feed supplements, forage, forage yield, legume, silage

AbstractCurrently in Russia and other countries in family farms there is a demand for lowering cost of animal production. Main direction to achieve new terchnological solutions characterized by low energy constumption and high efficiency with maintaining high quality of product (mineral). For example, lately in animal production are acquired concentrates with low unity costs. Realising targets releated with lowering costs of forage production with usage comminution and crease of grain. Previously conducted own researches and literature analises shows, that currently used solutions are characterized by big errors made by construction of the devices, and technology effect of obtained product (grain). The paper presents the criteria for optimalization of technical indicators of shredding devices affecting the quality of the product.

The article characterizes the advantages of sudangrass, presents its comparative assessment, and gives recommendations for the cultivation of a new variety Evgeniya for seeds. Implementation of the program for the development of forage production in Russia and other countries implies not only the creation of new varieties but also the promotion of their introduction. This study aims to test the new variety Evgeniya of sudangrass and refine the cultivation techniques for obtaining high-quality seeds in the Volga region. For a period of 2 years, we studied the new promising variety, new lines that were obtained during interspecific, intraspecific, and intervarietal crossings carried out in different years, and new varieties of sudangrass recommended for cultivation in the region. The Yubileinaya 20 and Zonalskaya 6 varieties of sudangrass were used as standards. Field studies were carried out in 2017-2019. It was found that the new variety Evgeniya was characterized by high values of economically valuable traits. The variety had several biometric and biological features, such as thin stems and high yields, so we studied the influence of sowing methods and seeding rates not only on yield but on seed quality. To obtain the maximum yield of high-quality seeds, Evgeniya sudangrass must be sown with a seeding rate of 0.6-0.7 mln. viable seeds per hectare and row spacing of 30 cm.

Abstract C. equisetifolia is a nitrogen-fixing tree of considerable social, economic and environmental importance in many tropical areas of the world. It is widely planted for reclamation of unstable coastal ecosystems in the tropics and subtropics. It is salt-tolerant and can grow on sands so is especially useful for erosion control and windbreaks along coastlines and estuaries. The wood has many uses but is renowned as a fuel. It is a truly multipurpose species, providing a range of products and services for industrial and local end-users.

ABSTRACT The genus Rhizobium contains many species that are able to form nitrogen-fixing nodules on plants of the legume family. Here, we report the 5.5-Mb draft genome sequence of the salt-tolerant Rhizobium sp. strain LCM 4573, which has a G+C content of 61.2% and 5,356 candidate protein-encoding genes.
