The Effect of Synthetic Cow Urine on Microorganisms and Their Potential Phosphorus Mining Activity in Rhizosphere and Bulk Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Soil microbes adapt to varying nutrient inputs by modifying their utilization strategies, with root exudates and animal urine serving as key carbon (C) and nutrient sources in grasslands. Nonetheless, the specific mechanisms by which cow urine and root exudates influence microbial community and resource utilization remain ...

Comparison of simulated gastrointestinal digestion platforms with varying complexity and sample mass requirements, using common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as a model

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Measuring bioaccessible nutrient levels during digestion in a physiologically relevant (dynamic) manner is a bottleneck in plant breeding and food product development. The first aim of this study was to develop and compare four simulated gastric digestion models paired with a static small‐intestinal phase for use with small sample ...

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

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
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 a Trench Combined With Exclosure on Recovery of Herbaceous Biomass in Degraded Mountain Areas in Hawasa Watershed, Southern Ethiopia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the restoration of herbaceous biomass in degraded mountain lands by comparing the impact of trenches established alongside exclosures (EX‐SWC) to exclosures alone (EX). To achieve the objective, herbaceous biomass was collected from areas restored using EX‐SWC and EX over three consecutive years ...
