Feed efficiency estimation from stochastic feed requirement frontier

Journal of Dairy Science
: Feed accounts for 40% to 70% of livestock production cost. Therefore, improving feed efficiency of production animals will promote farm profitability. To this end, precise estimation of animal level feed efficiency is important.

Effects of Incorporating Dry Matter Intake and Residual Feed Intake into a Selection Index for Dairy Cattle Using Deterministic Modeling

Animals, 2021
The inclusion of feed efficiency in the breeding goal for dairy cattle has been discussed for many years. The effects of incorporating feed efficiency into a selection index were assessed by indirect selection (dry matter intake) and direct selection ...

Wet Feeding Promotes Growth without Affecting Hypothalamic Peptide Gene Expression in Growing Broiler Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science
From the perspective of animal welfare, freedom from hunger and thirst is an undeniable requirement for the poultry industry. Regulatory mechanisms underlying drinking behavior have not yet been identified in chickens; however, the regulation of ...

Data set on early feed intake and growth performances of rabbits fed during the suckling period with pellets differing in diameter or compression rate using a double-choice testing design

Data in Brief, 2020
Weaning is a critical period for the health of rabbits, with a high sensitivity to digestive diseases. Allowing early consumption of solid feed in the nest of the suckling rabbit could help to maintain its health around weaning.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
