Concentration and composition of condensed tannins in leaves from fodder trees and shrubs in Pakistan

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 212-219, June 2026.
Abstract Background The lack of dependable, high‐quality forage and animal feedstuffs in many areas of the world hampers livestock production. In these regions, farmers often rely on native fodder tree and shrub leaves as a forage source for their animals with little or no information available on nutritional factors of these feedstuffs.

Effects of Replacing Alfalfa Hay With Barley Silage in High‐Concentrate Diets: Chewing Behavior, Ruminal Fermentation, Total‐Tract Digestibility, and Milk Production of Dairy Cows in Mid‐Lactation Phase

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 185-197, May 2026.
We assessed lactation productivity in dairy cows when replacing alfalfa hay with barley silage. A 50% replacement increased feed intake, whereas total replacement improved nutrient conversion to milk. Barley silage can effectively replace alfalfa hay, enhancing sustainability and resilience in dairy production amid forage quality constraints and market

Introgression of a Terminal Segment From Chromosome 3S of Festuca mairei Increases Drought Resistance of Lolium perenne

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to climate change, the requirement for increased resilience by grassland systems to onsets of ever‐increasing drought stresses makes the development of drought‐resistant forage crops a priority for future food and energy security. Novel ×Festulolium (Festuca × Lolium) cultivars offer unique opportunities to combine complementary traits ...

Promoting Corn Stover Degradation via Sequential Processing of Steam Explosion and Lactic Acid Bacteria‐Assisted Ensilage

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Efficient utilization of corn stover is essential for enhancing the sustainability of livestock feed. However, its high lignocellulose content limits digestibility and nutritional value. Steam explosion technology, an emerging pretreatment method, has shown promise in food processing for its ability to break down the natural structural ...

A Stereospecific Lactic Acid Exclusion Biosensor for Grass Silage Fed Green Biorefinery

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
Grass‐silage fed green biorefineries require high‐quality grass‐silage leachates to produce high‐quality products. The steps required to create Escherichia coli based d‐ and l‐lactic acid biosensors applicable to these leachates begins by removing biosensor interference by removing catabolic pathways that correspond to compounds found in grass‐silage ...
