Estimation of the dietary nutrient profile of free-roaming feral cats: possible implications for nutrition of domestic cats [PDF]
, 2011 Cats are strict carnivores and in the wild rely on a diet solely based on animal tissues to meet their specific and unique nutritional requirements. Although the feeding ecology of cats in the wild has been well documented in the literature, there is no ...

Oral Samples as Non-Invasive Proxies for Assessing the Composition of the Rumen Microbial Community. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Microbial community analysis was carried out on ruminal digesta obtained directly via rumen fistula and buccal fluid, regurgitated digesta (bolus) and faeces of dairy cattle to assess if non-invasive samples could be used as proxies for ruminal digesta ...

Plane of nutrition affects the phylogenetic diversity and relative abundance of transcriptionally active methanogens in the bovine rumen [PDF]
, 2017 peer-reviewedMethane generated during enteric fermentation in ruminant livestock species is a major contributor to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

British Journal of Nutrition, 2019 Physicochemical properties of diets are believed to play a major role in the regulation of digesta transit in the gastrointestinal tract. Starch, being the dominant nutrient in pig diets, strongly influences these properties.

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2018 In the present study, the effects of dietary buckwheat on phytase activity in the digesta from different parts of the digestive tract, and ileal digestibility of nutrients were determined in broilers fed with buckwheat diets.

British Journal of Nutrition, 2019 The passage rate of solids and liquids through the gastrointestinal tract differs. Increased dietary nutrient solubility causes nutrients to shift from the solid to the liquid digesta fraction and potentially affect digesta passage kinetics.

Effect of a probiotic and an antibiotic on the mobilome of the porcine microbiota
Frontiers in GeneticsIntroduction: To consider the growing health issues caused by antibiotic resistance from a “one health” perspective, the contribution of meat production needs to be addressed. While antibiotic resistance is naturally present in microbial communities, the

Performance and intestinal responses to dehulling and inclusion level of Australian sweet lupins (Lupinus angustifolius L.) in diets for weaner pigs [PDF]
, 2012 A total of 180 entire male weaner pigs weighing 6.4 ± 0.1. kg (mean ± SEM) and housed in pairs was used in a completely randomised block design with 9 dietary treatments (n= 10 pens). Pigs were blocked based on weaning weight.

Journal of Dairy Science, 1985 A mathematical method is presented for measuring net disappearance of nutrients as digesta traverses the digestive tract of animals equipped with simple cannulae. The method requires that each distinct phase of a sample be physically separated if this phase forms a different percentage of the sample than it does of the total digesta.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 This study using the rumen simulation technique (RUSITEC) investigated the changes in the ruminal microbiota and anaerobic fermentation in response to the addition of different lipid supplements to a ruminant diet.
