Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To increase the forage self-sufficiency ratio for livestock and poultry production is the urgent matter by improving crop production, utilization of forage resources, and intensive grazing management. Under the monsoonal humid climate in East and Southeast Asian countries, instead of hay processing, silage processing of forages and crop residues and intensive grazing management in arable lands are the principal solutions for sustainable pasture management.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather actual practices and knowledge by demonstrating new findings in the field of silage processing, pasture and grazing management, as well as techniques facilitated for tropical and subtropical pasture management. Our wish is to encourage authors of this multi-disciplinary field of research to share their knowledge with the global scientific community and to elucidate potential problems and questions that need to be addressed in the future.
