Buffalo Beef Production

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2007
The growing rate of 240 male buffaloes fed ad libitum a diet characterized by 0.9 MFU/Kg dry matter (DM), 14% CP and 38:62 forage:concentrate ratio (Diet A) was evaluated starting from a mean age of 148 (Group 1), 218 (Group 2), 302 (Group 3), 320 (Group 4), 374 (Group 5) and 596 (Group 6) days. Data were compared at the weight of 400 kg and at the age

An Edible Biohybrid Platform Accomplishes In Situ Fenton‐Mediated Enteral Nanoplastics Aging and Excretion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An edible biohybrid platform triggers nanoplastics (NPs) aging and agglomeration by in situ generating hydroxyl radicals within the intestine. The enlarged NPs are unable to penetrate the intestine and are subsequently excreted. Simultaneously, probiotic biofilms reinforce the intestinal barrier.

Accounting for Substitution: Improving Estimates of GHG Reductions From Cattle‐Based Product Demand Shifts

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estimates of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from lower demand for cattle‐based products must account for substitution effects. This study collected data through two surveys—one on ground beef and another on dairy milk—to evaluate substitution effects and potential GHG reductions.

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

On the Economics of US Agricultural Policy

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an economic analysis of US agricultural policy, building on a modified version of Gardner's efficient redistribution. We argue that agricultural policy is motivated as an attempt to implement an efficient redistribution scheme that redistributes income toward farmers who, as a group, have been adversely affected by ...

Excipient Emulsion–Based Delivery Systems for Enhancing Carotenoid Bioavailability: Advances in Formulation and Gastrointestinal Fate

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Excipient emulsion systems improve carotenoid solubilization, protect against degradation, and enhance gastrointestinal absorption through optimized formulation and digestion behavior. ABSTRACT Carotenoids are bioactive compounds that contribute to human health through antioxidant, provitamin A, and disease‐preventive effects.

Effect of palmitoleic acid on the differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2021
We hypothesized that the unsaturated fatty acid palmitoleic acid (POA) could promote the expression of adipogenic/lipogenic genes in bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells (BSCs). The BSCs were cultured in a growth

Guidelines for Detecting the Foodborne Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacteria

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foodborne antibiotic‐resistant bacteria threaten global public health and the economic. Standardized detection methods are crucial for effective prevention and control. Researchers encounter difficulties in choosing suitable techniques due to the variety of available approaches and the intricate nature of resistance mechanisms.

The beef with sustainability

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
The US beef industry is a major contributor of greenhouse gases and is commonly regarded as unsustainable at current levels. A new study models a system in which sustainability could be increased by subsistence on grass and agricultural by-products, prompting the question, ‘what are the limits of sustainable livestock production in the US’?
