Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Under‐Explored Species, Breeds and Cell Types With Potential for Cultivated Meat Production

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how the strategic selection of overlooked cell lines from novel species and specific agricultural breeds can help overcome current manufacturing bottlenecks in cultivated meat production. The schematic links the concept of an ‘ideal cell line’ to four key bioprocessing and product advantages that can be optimised ...

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

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.

Optimization Strategies to Adapt Sheep Breeding Programs to Pasture-Based Production Environments: A Simulation Study

Animals, 2023
Strong differences between the selection (indoor fattening) and production environment (pasture fattening) are expected to reduce genetic gain due to possible genotype-by-environment interactions (G × E).

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 ...
