essential oils, alkaloids)
• Ultra Violet Radiation
• Bacteria, Fungi, Virus
• Defense Against Competing
Plants (walnuts)
• Vulnerable Fruits & Younger

Anti-Pest Exudates
Root Volatiles
• Attract enemies of root feeding pests
Eg: Sesquiterpene B-caryophyllene attracts nematode
(Hetero rhabditis megadis) attacks beetle larvae
(diabrotica virgifera)
Atmospheric Volatiles
• Atmospheric volatiles warn neighbors gene expression
• Produce repellents, intoxicants against enemies
• Attract seed dispersers and pollinators

Herbivores Consume Bulk as 3-7 Plants/Meal
Herbivores “Nibble” on 50-100 Plants per Day

Resource Rich Environments • Organic Matter,
Nutrients, Water, Sunlight
• Promote Plants with High Levels of Primary Compounds and Moderate Levels of Secondary Compounds
• Positively Influence the Flavor, Color, Quality, of Meat & Milk
![Page 16: Cornell Silvopasture Systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5576d669d8b42a87588b48d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Resource Poor Environments
(Naturally Occurring)
• Lower Levels
of Primary Compounds
• High Levels of Secondary Compounds
– Deter Feeding by Herbivores
![Page 17: Cornell Silvopasture Systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5576d669d8b42a87588b48d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Resource Poor Environments
(Man-Made)
• Lower Levels of some/all Primary Compounds
• Low Levels of Secondary Compounds
• Negative Influence of Flavor, Color, Quality of Meat & Milk
![Page 18: Cornell Silvopasture Systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5576d669d8b42a87588b48d1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
•Attract Highly Specialized Herbivores
•Herbivores Attract Generalist Predators
• Predators Feed on Pests
•Hedgerows Create More Bio-Mass (a.k.a Dry Matter) For
Every Level of Livestock (microbial to ruminant)
![Page 19: Cornell Silvopasture Systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5576d669d8b42a87588b48d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
British Hedgerows
2,000 years of Biodiversity
• 600 plant species
• 1500 insect species
• 65 bird species
• 20 mammal species
Micro-Climate: Transpiration by Day Dew at night
Position Hedgerows on Higher Ground
-fertility moves down hill
Australian Hedgerows: 50-100 meters wide

Environmental Stress Factors
1. Average Minimum Air Temp. (Wind Chill?)
2. Average Maximum Air Temp.
3. Radiant Heat Load (Infra-red?)
4. Hours Above 89°F/29.5°C (Humidity?)

Temperature Thresholds
• At 72°F Milk Production Begins to Drop Slowly
• At 80°F Milk Production Begins to Drop Suddenly
Holsteins & Jerseys will seek shade at 84°F/27°C

Tannins (Phenolics)
• Makes By-Pass Protein – EAA & BCAA Reproductive Efficiency
– Reduces Rumen Ammonia (less BUN/MUN)
– Enhances Immunity
• Resistance Against Internal Parasites
• Alleviates Bloat (binds to proteins in rumen)
• Reduces Methane Production
• Meat is lighter in color
• Meat is higher in anti-oxidants
• Meat is higher in Omega 3
• Meat is lower in “gamey” flavor

Coping with Tannins
• Large increase by Parotid Glands (Salivary) in Monogastrics of
Proline-Rich Proteins (PRP) (Bind Tannins)
– Binds tannins provided there’s enough energy
(carbohydrate) to keep polypeptide chain adhesive to
tannins
– Humans can consume high tannin sorghum and red wine
• Endocrine adaptation occurs in ruminants
– Glycerol released from adipose tissue

“It is unlikely that empirical studies, if undertaken, could show that
in randomly selected ecosystems, non-native species, especially
plants, are more important factors in extinction than are native
species and many other contributing causes and conditions.”
Mark Sagoff, PhD Senior Research Scholar
Institute for Philosophy and Public Policy at the University of Maryland
“The overall pattern almost always is that there’s some net increase in diversity, that seems to be because these native
communities of species don’t completely fill all the niches. The exotics can fit in there.”
Dr. James Brown, Ecologist at the University of New Mexico in “Friendly
Invaders”
