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

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 642-654, September 2026.
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 ...

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

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).
