NaCl-Supplemented Alfalfa-Based TMR Improves Meat Quality by Enhancing Essential Amino Acids and Optimizing Fatty Acid Profile in AOHU Sheep Under Simulated Saline–Alkaline Conditions

Foods
Saline–alkaline soils are increasingly reducing global forage productivity and may indirectly compromise the nutritional quality of animal-derived foods for human consumption.

Dietary Supplementation with Naringin Improves Systemic Metabolic Status and Alleviates Oxidative Stress in Transition Cows via Modulating Adipose Tissue Function: A Lipid Perspective

Antioxidants
Dairy cows face metabolic challenges around the time of calving, leading to a negative energy balance and various postpartum health issues. Adipose tissue is crucial for cows during this period, as it regulates energy metabolism and supports immune ...

Early Feeding Regime of Waste Milk, Milk, and Milk Replacer for Calves Has Different Effects on Rumen Fermentation and the Bacterial Community

Animals, 2019
We investigated the effects of different types of early feeding on rumen fermentation parameters and the bacterial community in calves. Fifty-four Holstein calves were assigned to three treatments and fed whole milk (M), pasteurized waste milk (WM), or ...

Can meta-omics revolutionize our understanding of rumen methane emissions?

Animal Nutriomics
The global challenge of methane emissions from enteric fermentation is critical, as it contributes significantly to atmospheric greenhouse gases and represents a loss of energy that could otherwise be utilized by ruminants. With the increasing demand for

Rumen Fermentation Characteristics in Pre- and Post-Weaning Calves upon Feeding with Mulberry Leaf Flavonoids and Candida tropicalis Individually or in Combination as a Supplement

Animals, 2019
Although flavonoids or yeast have been used as feed additives to improve the production efficiency and health of adult cattle, little information is available on their effects on rumen fermentation in calves.
