Alfalfa‐Based Dehydrated Silage Pellet as a Source of Nutrients in Laying Hens: I. Effects on Animal Performance and Egg Quality

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Alfalfa‐based silage pellets (ABSP) showed significant results regarding production performance, yolk colour and ω‐3 (PUFAs), as well as the ratio ω‐6/ω‐3 (p < 0.05). The ABSP group also exhibited a higher abundance of beneficial bacteria and a lower abundance of pathogenic bacteria compared to the control group (p < 0.05).

Supplementation of Hermetia Illucens Larvae to Improve Growth Performance, Meat Quality, and Intestinal Microbiology of Broiler in a Cost‐Effective Manner

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Hermetia illucens larvae meal (HIL) improved broiler growth, carcass yield, gut microbiology, and profitability, with the highest performance observed at 12% inclusion. However, lower inclusion levels (4%) offered a better balance by enhancing meat quality and maintaining favourable fatty acid profiles while still supporting productive and economic ...
