Short‐Term Impact of Betaine Supplementation on Ruminal Microbial Relative Abundance, Nutrient Digestibility, Serum Metabolites, and Milk Composition in Heat‐Stressed Dairy Cows

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Short‐term betaine supplementation (80 g/day for 4 weeks) improved thermoregulation, ruminal fermentation, and nutrient utilisation in heat‐stressed dairy cows. These effects enhanced feed intake, milk yield, and metabolic stability by modulating rumen microbiota and reducing inflammatory and oxidative stress responses.

Effect of Fibrolytic Enzymes on the Fermentation Characteristics, Aerobic Stability, and Digestibility of Bermudagrass Silage [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2005
The aim of this study was to determine if the nutritive value and aerobic stability of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) silage could be improved by addition of proprietary, exogenous cellulase/hemicellulase enzyme preparations at ensiling. A 5-wk regrowth of Tifton 85 bermudagrass was conserved without treatment (control) or after treatment with ...

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.

Managing Primary Immunodeficiency Immunoglobulin Replacement Therapy‐Related Adverse Events With Recombinant Human C1 Esterase Inhibitor Prophylaxis: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IRT) for primary immunodeficiency reduces infection risk and subsequent complications and can be lifesaving. However, IRT can cause severe systemic adverse events (AEs) that may limit adequate dosing. These AEs may be caused, in part, by activation and/or consumption of complement proteins, thereby lowering ...

A review on Effects of Exogenous Fibrolytic Enzymes in Ruminant Nutrition

, 2019
Ruminant can convert plant biomass that human can’t use directly to high quality protein-meat and milk, which is important to agriculture and human society. However, the conversion efficiency is dependent on digestibility of plant cell walls. The conversion efficiency is low as well as the digestibility of plant material at present.

Synergistic Bioconversion of Date Palm Leaves Into Ruminant Feed by a Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina L.) Gut Bacterial Consortium and Nutrient Stimulators

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Treating date palm leaves with a bacterial consortium, especially when supplemented with glucose and urea, significantly degrades lignin. This process enhances nutritional value by increasing crude protein, digestibility, and metabolizable energy. The method effectively transforms this agricultural by‐product into a viable ruminant feed.

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...
