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

open access: yesJournal 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

Diet Outweighs Vertical Transmission in Shaping Dung Beetle Larval Gut Microbiomes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The microbiome is central to host development and adaptation, yet the balance between vertical and environmental acquisition, and how hosts shape surrounding microbial communities, remains poorly understood. Dung beetles rely on microbial symbionts to extract nutrients from vertebrate dung, with part of their microbiome vertically inherited ...

Growth Performance and Economic Efficiency of SASSO‐C44 Broilers Fed on Diets Containing Varying Levels of Dried Blood–Rumen Mixture as a Substitute for Roasted Soybean Meal

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study aimed to investigate the growth performance and economic efficiency of SASSO‐C44 broilers fed diets containing different levels of dried blood–rumen content mixture (DBRCM) instead of roasted soybean meal. Two‐hundred‐day‐old chicks were randomly allocated to five different dietary treatments containing 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% DBRCM and a ...
