Toward sustainable livestock systems: Corn silage replacing imported hays modulates metabolism and improves meat quality in Hanwoo steers

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
This study evaluated the effects of partially replacing conventional hays with corn silage in total mixed rations (TMR) on growth performance, blood metabolites, meat quality traits, fatty acid profile, and lipid metabolism-related gene expression in ...

Effects of mixed microbial fermentation on the quality and metabolite profile of cassava leaf feed based on untargeted metabolomics

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cassava leaves are a major byproduct of cassava processing and have a low utilization rate. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Bacillus subtilis were used for solid‐state fermentation of cassava leaves to improve their feed quality. Results After 48 h of fermentation, the feed pH decreased to

Synergy‐based crop suitability assessment for agrivoltaics: An easy‐to‐use traffic‐light framework for temperate climates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

How AI and Digital Technologies Can Enhance Sustainable Livestock Manure Management: An Overview From Treatment to Distribution

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable livestock manure management sits at the nexus of climate, nutrient circularity and water quality. This review explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms are used across four management stages, that is, treatment, storage, valorisation and distribution, and figures out where integration fails to deliver ...

Business Model and Sustainable Development Goals for an Innovative Agricultural Waste Management: Distributed Biogas Production

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological progress and population growth have increased global pork demand; leading to a rise of methane emission from pig farming, a key contributor to climate change. Anaerobic digestion offers a sustainable solution by converting manure into biogas.
