Milk composition changes and alterations in bacteria, serum, and gut metabolome over time in lactating yaks and Simmental cows [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying milk composition divergence between naks (female yaks) and Simmental cows (S-cows) by integrating longitudinal multi-omics analyses of gut microbiota and metabolomes. Methods We determined

Dietary forage to concentrate ratios impact on yak ruminal microbiota and metabolites

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
To improve the rumen fermentation function and growth performance of yaks (Bos grunniens), better understanding of the effect of different dietary forage to concentrate ratios on rumen microbiota and metabolites is needed.

Sheep grazing as sustainable vegetation management for solar energy production in the northeastern USA

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The expansion of solar photovoltaic production necessitates the need for vegetation management at solar sites. Solar grazing, an agrivoltaic (APV) approach involving vegetation management with livestock, is a rapidly growing solution to fill this need ...

Effects of high concentrate rations on ruminal fermentation and microbiota of yaks

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Ruminal microflora is closely correlated with the ruminant’s diet. However, information regarding the effect of high concentrate diets on rumen microflora in yaks is lacking. In the current study, 24 healthy male yaks were randomly assigned to two groups,

Production, Transport, and Metabolism of Volatile Fatty Acids in the Yak Rumen: Unraveling the Unique Mechanisms Underpinning High-Altitude Adaptation

Microorganisms
Volatile fatty acids (VFAs), the primary end-products of microbial fermentation in the ruminant forestomach, supply approximately 70% of the host’s energy requirements and play a pivotal role in maintaining energy homeostasis.

Effects of different rest grazing periods on the reproduction and root characteristics of Carex capillifolia in subalpine meadow

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Carex capillifolia is a dominant subalpine meadow plant species with considerable ecological and economic value. We studied the effects of different springtime rest grazing periods on C. capillifolia reproduction and the root characteristics.

Cathodic Cage Plasma Deposition of Nanostructured Cu–Fe–Se Coatings on Poly(methyl Methacrylate)

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Nanostructured Cu–Fe–Se coatings are deposited on PMMA by a modified cathodic cage plasma process, enabling low‐temperature deposition on polymer substrates. A transition from discontinuous to compact morphology is observed with temperature, with optimal properties at 200°C, where improved CuFeSe2‐type bonding, lowest sheet resistance, and favorable ...

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...
