Freeze‐dried Lactobacillus spp. improved average daily liveweight gain and reduced methane intensity in growing lambs

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3857-3865, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Direct fed microbials (DFM) are natural and safe enteric methane mitigants for ruminant livestock systems. While previous studies have demonstrated the effect of Lactobacillus spp. on methane mitigation, challenges remain in effectively delivering DFM in extensive grazing systems. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the

Effect of Diet Neutral Detergent Fibre Content on Dry Matter Intake, Nutrient Digestibility, Growth Efficiency and Carcass Characteristics of Finishing South African Mutton Merino Wether Lambs

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Feeding South African Mutton Merino lambs low‐NDF lucerne hay diets improved nutrient digestibility, energy utilisation, growth efficiency, and carcass quality. Despite lower intake at the lowest NDF level, fibre digestibility and feed conversion improved, indicating that highly digestible, low‐NDF finishing diets enhance lamb growth and carcass traits.

Investigating the effects of dietary and management modifications on Salmonella enterica population in harvest-ready beef cattle

Microbiology Spectrum
Salmonella enterica, a foodborne pathogen, poses a significant public health risk, particularly because of multidrug-resistant strains. Cattle are one of the known reservoirs of Salmonella that contaminates beef products. Whereas antibiotic use in cattle

Large‐scale reproductive loss in sheep due to Border disease virus infection, New South Wales, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 137-149, March 2026.
Border disease viruses (BDV) and bovine viral diarrhoea viruses (BVDV) are members of the Pestivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae. While BVDV is one of the most significant endemic viral infections of cattle in Australia, BDV infection is generally considered to be uncommon in Australian sheep.

Genomic Prediction Ability for Novel Profitability Traits Using Different Models in Nelore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 244-255, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy, bias and dispersion of genomic predictions for accumulated profitability (APF) and profit per kilogram of liveweight gain (PFT) in Nelore cattle using different prediction approaches. The dataset consisted of 3969 phenotypic records for each trait. The pedigree harboured information from 38,930

Optimizing Cattle, Yak, Camel, and Horse Meat Processing: Species‐Sex Physicochemical Drivers

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Species primarily determines the nutritional and processing traits of cattle, yak, camel, and horse meats; yak stands out for superior nutrition (high protein/EAA/MUFAs) but requires tenderization, while horse offers greater tenderness but has a darker color and low water‐holding capacity.
