Associative Effects between Forages and Concentrates on In Vitro Fermentation of Working Equine Diets

Animals, 2021
Background: Horses are hindgut fermenters, and it is therefore important to determine the postgastric nutritive value of their feedstuffs and diets. Moreover, it has been demonstrated in other animal species that the fermentation of diets results in ...

Geographic Distribution of Colombian Spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) via Ecological Niche Modeling: A Prediction for the Main Tropical Forages' Pest in the Neotropics

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) are the main tropical pests in Central and South America of cultivated pastures. We aimed to estimate the potential distribution of Aeneolamia varia, A. lepidior, A. reducta, Prosapia simulans, Zulia carbonaria, and Z.

Effects of Different Lactic Acid Bacteria in Single or Mixed Form on the Fermentative Parameters and Nutrient Contents of Early Heading Triticale Silage for Livestock

Foods, 2023
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are excellent anaerobic fermenters that produce highly valuable grass-based animal feed containing essential nutrients. In the present study, an ensiling process was used to improve anaerobic fermentation in triticale silage ...

A Novel Strain of Probiotic Leuconostoc citreum Inhibits Infection-Causing Bacterial Pathogens

Microorganisms, 2023
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria are at risk of spreading and prolonging due to antimicrobial resistance. It is, therefore, urgently necessary to develop a more effective antibiotic alternative strategy to control pathogen spread.
