Haploid Mutation Mapping Identifies a Homoeologous Non‐Reciprocal Translocation Linked to Reduced Fibre and Enhanced Protein in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3219-3243, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.

Assessment of the Predictive Accuracy of the Small Ruminant Nutrition System for Nutrient Digestibility and Energy Requirements in Goats in Early Lactation

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictions of the small ruminant nutrition system (SRNS) for the digestibility of dietary nutrients and the energy requirements of goats in early lactation. Forty‐eight Alpine goats were assigned to a completely randomized design. During 8 weeks of lactation, six goats were slaughtered per week.

Determination and prediction of standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of wheat bran in broiler chickens [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective The objective of this experiment was to determine the standard ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acid (AA) in 10 different sources of wheat bran fed to broilers and establish the SID AA prediction based on the chemical composition.

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.

Lycium barbarum Byproducts Modulate Rumen Fermentation, Enhance Digestive Enzyme Activity, and Improve Immune and Antioxidant Status in Grazing Sheep

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Lycium barbarum byproducts (seeds and residue) in sheep diets increased acetic and propionic acid, digestive enzyme activity, and beneficial bacteria (Prevotella). Immune status (TP, ALB, GLB) and antioxidant capacity (SOD, GSH‐PX) improved, while waste metabolites (UA, BUN) and oxidative stress (MDA) decreased.

Dietary Bordão‐De‐Velho (Samanea tubulosa) Fruit Improves Grazing Beef Cattle Performance

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Integrated grass‐tree systems have been proposed to address socio‐ecological challenges in tropical cattle production. Bordão‐de‐velho (Samanea tubulosa), a legume tree native to the Amazon, is commonly found in degraded pastures and valued by farmers for its soil, forage, and livestock benefits.

Accessing the impact of harvest weights of Tenebrio molitor on amino acid digestibility and metabolizable energy in cecectomized laying hens

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 665-674, 15 January 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The effects of harvest weights on composition, amino acid (AA) digestibility and metabolizable energy (MEN) of Tenebrio molitor (TM) were investigated using cecectomized laying hens. The partially defatted and dried TM variants comprised median individual frass‐free harvest weights of 60, 80, 100, and 120 mg of larvae, and a pupae ...
