Soybean hulls replacing ground corn in diets for early lactation Saanen goats: intake, digestibility, milk production and quality

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate productive performance and milk quality of Saanen goats fed diets with soybean hulls replacing ground corn (0, 50 and 100% replacement) in early lactation (from birth to 50 days of lactation).

In vitro and in sacco determination of neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated cereal straw

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cereal straw is hardly digestible due to its complex bonds of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. That is why chemical treatments, such as with sodium hydroxide, may help to loosen the bonds and thus increase ruminal digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility is a good predictor of feed intake.

Effects of Algae β‐Glucan Supplementation on the Performance and Intestinal Immune System of Healthy Weaned Piglets

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While β‐glucans from plants and yeasts have been extensively studied in weaned piglets, studies examining algae β‐glucans are scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the effects of feeding algae β‐glucan in weaned piglets. Male, 21‐day‐old, weaned crossbred piglets were allotted to three experimental groups, which were fed either an ...

Comparing Accuracy and Biases of DNA Metabarcoding, Hybridization Capture, and Metagenomic Sequencing for Quantifying Herbivore Diets

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding using relative read abundance (RRA) is commonly applied to estimate herbivore diet composition, yet its quantitative accuracy remains uncertain. We assessed taxonomic resolution and quantitative performance of RRA from DNA metabarcoding compared to metagenomic sequencing and hybridization capture, using deer scats from ...

Anatomical Characteristics of Cenchrus purpureus Under Rainfed and Irrigation

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Microscopy can serve as an auxiliary tool to elucidate differences in the nutritive value of plant tissues, given its strong correlation with chemical composition and in vitro digestibility. The objective was to evaluate the effect of tall and dwarf elephantgrass genotypes grown under rainfed or irrigated conditions during the dry and rainy ...

Effects of Cottonseed Cake and Weissella cibaria on Fractionation of Carbohydrates and Proteins and In Situ Degradability in Sorghum Silages

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study aimed to estimate the fractionation of carbohydrates and crude protein (CP), and the ruminal degradation rates of dry matter (DM), CP, and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in sorghum silages. Silages were prepared with or without the addition of 10% cottonseed cake (CSC, natural matter basis) and Weissella cibaria (W. cibaria).

Synbiotics are Better Than Probiotics and Prebiotics for Use as Nutrition in Growing Rabbits

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study demonstrates that synbiotic significantly enhances growth performance and nutrient digestibility in growing rabbits. The synbiotic approach improves feed conversion and skeletal development while lowering serum cholesterol and modulating immune cell counts.
