Since the arrival of varroa (Varroa destructor) in Mexico, more than 33 % of the hives in the highland and northern regions of the country have been lost annually, due to the excessive use of synthetic acaricides, which have developed resistance in the populations of these mites. Due to this, the objective of this research was to evaluate the fall...

This study reports the nutrient composition of leaves of Moringa oleifera harvested at five different dates throughout the year. The leaves of M. oleifera were harvested from Güemez, Tamaulipas, Mexico during the rainy (3 dates) and dry season (2 dates) in 2016–2017. A proximate analysis was carried out on the processed samples using standard analy...

In livestock production systems in the tropics of Mexico, especially extensive systems, the use of native pastures as a basic diet prevails. However, in the dry season the quality and quantity of the grasses decreases, making the use of supplements with high nutritional value necessary, increasing feeding costs. The search for new sources of food f...
