Prevalence of peripheral dental caries and diastemata in horses fed high‐carbohydrate diets

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Peripheral dental caries and diastemata impair equine oral health. Diets rich in soluble carbohydrates are suspected risk factors, but few studies have assessed their impact. In Brazil, sugarcane is widely used as a forage source due to its availability and low cost.

Effects of feeding silage of beet pulp or maize on the growth performance, meat quality, and production economics of broiler ducks

Poultry Science
: The present study aimed to compare the growth, meat quality, and production economics of Cherry Valley broiler ducks fed with a commercial diet along with silage from beet pulp or maize. In this study, 180 male Cherry Valley ducks were reared for 49 d.

Empirical prediction of organic matter digestibility in grasses, legumes and their mixtures from dairy farms in Atlantic Spain

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study characterized the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of herbage from commercial dairy farms in Galicia (NW Spain), a humid‐temperate Atlantic region, and developed empirical prediction equations for OMD based on routine wet‐chemistry traits.

Local habitat, not landscape diversity, drives richness and reproduction of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps in agricultural landscapes

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Local habitat type and hedgerow cover strongly shape bee and wasp richness, but only weakly their reproductive output, outweighing the landscape diversity effects at the 1‐km2 scale. Forests host more wasp but fewer bee species, whereas orchards support high richness of both; bee reproduction patterns are driven by one dominant species, while wasp ...

Carryover of Aflatoxin From Dairy Feed to Milk: A Systematic Review (1 January 2004–31 December 2024)

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, are frequently reported contaminants of dairy cattle feed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where climatic conditions favor fungal growth, and they can be transferred into milk and dairy products.

Evaluating the In Vitro Digestibility of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Larvae as Potential Feed Ingredient in Dairy Cattle Silage‐Based Diets: A Focus on Proteins

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dietary protein has a substantial economic impact on cattle feed, and it is also a critical component for animal growth and productivity. Several environmental issues related to soybeans have led to an increased interest in novel protein sources, such as insects.

Diet‐Related Differences Predominate Over Breed‐Associated Differences in Hepatic Lipid Metabolism, Antioxidant Vitamins and Lipid Quality Indices Among Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how nutritional management and genetic background influence hepatic metabolism is important for improving the nutritional quality of bovine products in tropical production systems. This study evaluated breed‐associated differences under a common dietary regimen and diet‐related differences within the Nelore breed with respect to ...

Natural and CRISPR/Cas9 Editing Variations of Dual‐uORFs Synergistically Increase the Nutritional Value of Silage Maize Feed

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The precise enhancement of nutritional quality in silage maize is a core strategy for increasing livestock production efficiency. Through evolutionary analysis of multiple plant species, we identified two functionally synergistic upstream open reading frames (uORF1 and uORF2) within the 5′ untranslated region of the gene encoding GDP‐L ...
