Dynamic Distribution of Gut Microbiota in Posthatching Chicks and Its Relationship With Average Daily Gain [PDF]

Poultry Science, 2023
The colonization and development of gut microbiota are essential for the health and growth of chicks after hatching. However, the colonization and prevalence of gut microbiota have not been well characterized, and knowledge of which microbes and their ...

PSII-3 Effect of environmental enrichment on pig average daily feed intake and average daily gain in the early nursery phase [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science
Abstract Transition from the sow to nursery is a stressful time for pigs and commonly leads to negative impacts on pig health, welfare, and lifetime performance. The objective of this study was to determine if the addition of a biologically relevant enrichment device affected average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI ...

Associations of mucosal disaccharidase kinetics and expression in the jejunum of steers with divergent average daily gain [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2020
Abstract The objective of this study was to quantify the differences in the activity of jejunal maltase and isomaltase between two groups of steers with average dry matter intake (DMI) and differing average daily gain (ADG). DMI and ADG were measured in crossbred steers (n = 69; initial body weight = 456 ± 5.0 kg) consuming a finishing ...

Microbiome network traits in the rumen predict average daily gain in beef cattle under different backgrounding systems. [PDF]

Anim Microbiome, 2022
Backgrounding (BKG), the stage between weaning and finishing, significantly impacts feedlot performance in beef cattle; however, the contributions of the rumen microbiome to this growth stage remain unexplored. A longitudinal study was designed to assess

Rumen and hindgut microbiome regulate average daily gain of preweaning Holstein heifer calves in different ways. [PDF]

Microbiome
Background The average daily gain (ADG) of preweaning calves significantly influences their adult productivity and reproductive performance. Gastrointestinal microbes are known to exert an impact on host phenotypes, including ADG.
