Sensorial and nutritional qualities of muscles from cross‐bred Salers heifers raised on mid‐mountain pasture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

Overview of the re‐evaluation of trace elements as nutritional feed additives in the European Union: characterization, safety, and efficacy

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The re‐evaluation of feed additives in the European Union was outlined in the Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The primary objectives were to ensure safety and verify efficacy, as well as to update authorizations and phase out unsafe additives or those in which the industry expressed no interest.

Metabolomic insights for the authentication and traceability of antibiotic‐free pork: a pilot study

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Antibiotic‐free production within the meat supply chain is a source of concern since new voluntary label claims need to be authenticated to prevent fraud. Therefore, an untargeted 1H NMR‐based metabolomics approach coupled to unsupervised (principal component analysis) and supervised (orthogonal partial least squares discriminant ...

Enhancing Feed Efficiency and Growth in Early-Fattening Hanwoo Steers Through High-Energy Concentrate Feeding

Animals
Adequate but not excessive dietary energy supply is crucial for growth and productivity in cattle. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three incremental changes in metabolizable energy (ME) levels in concentrate mixes, i.e., low (LEC, 10.4 MJ/kg ...

Cereal–legume intercropping for climate‐smart livestock production: insights from oat–alfalfa intercropping

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cereal–legume intercropping can improve forage productivity and quality at the same time as enhancing soil function and reducing environmental impacts, yet integrative evaluations under low‐input conditions are scarce. This study assessed oat (Avena sativa L.)–alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) intercropping for forage yield, nutritive ...

Tooth Enamel Carbon and Oxygen Isotope Ratios Reveal Shifts in Neolithic Caprine Husbandry on the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stable isotope analysis of sequential samples of ancient sheep and goat tooth enamel is used to investigate feeding, breeding, and mobility strategies at Neolithic villages on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. δ13C values demonstrate clear enrichment of caprine diet in 13C from the Early (c. 8.1–7.5 kya cal.

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

A novel approach for evaluation of fattening performance: coefficient of fattening efficiency

European Poultry Science, 1996
Basic scientific background for coefficient of fattening efficiency (CFE) proposed for the first time instead of traditional performance criteria which inadequately interprete the fattening trials was explained, and proper results were calculated by selecting a published paper in this subject. CFE described by Weight Gain/Feed Conversion Ratio could be
