The Impacts of Palm Kernel Cake on Nitrogen Dynamics in Confined Ruminants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Nitrogen
Nitrogen (N) utilization by ruminants affects production efficiency, feeding costs, and environmental N losses in confined production systems. Palm kernel cake (PKC), an abundant agro-industrial by-product in tropical regions, has been increasingly used ...

Effect of Orally Administered Taurine on Myofibrillar Proteolysis and Expression of Proteolytic-Related Genes of Skeletal Muscle in Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2009
We examined the effect of orally administration of taurine on myofibrillar proteolysis in food-deprived chicks. Chicks were food-deprived of 24 hours (h) and then chicks were orally administered 57, 133, or 225mg taurine/100g body weight.

Host identity dominates over intra-ruminal spatial variation in shaping the rumen microbiome of Holstein–Friesian dairy cows

Frontiers in Microbiomes
The rumen is a structurally complex fermentation chamber with distinct physicochemical zones, resulting in intra-ruminal biogeography and raising the question whether microbial communities vary spatially within the rumen.

Changes in Expression of Proteolytic-Related Genes in Chick Myoblasts during Myogenesis

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2011
Changes in expression of proteolytic-related genes in chick myoblasts during myogenesis were investigated. Expression of MyoD and myogenin, as an index of differentiation, was regulated in chick myoblasts during myogenesis.

Bioprospecting Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill cladode fractions for improved functionality in livestock feed

Frontiers in Animal Science
Opuntia ficus-indica offers significant health benefits for livestock in arid regions, yet the potential of its cladode components for specialised feed formulation has not been fully explored.

Effect of Graded Substitution of Soybean Meal by Hermetia illucens Larvae Meal on Animal Performance, Apparent Ileal Digestibility, Gut Histology and Microbial Metabolites of Broilers

Animals, 2021
The usage of insects as an alternative protein source for broiler feeds may help to reduce the dependency on soybean meal (SBM) imports. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the replacement of 15 (SL15) or 30% (SL30) of crude protein (CP) from ...

Clays as Additives in Ruminant Feed: A Quantitative Meta-Analysis of Their Effects on Enteric Methane, Digestion, Health and Productivity

Animals
Clays are increasingly incorporated as feed additives for ruminants, partly inspired by animals’ natural geophagic behaviour. However, their effects on rumen function and productivity remain inconsistent in the literature.

Integrating Ecology and Economics in Agent‐Based Models to Support Agricultural Policy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Agent‐based models are valuable tools for studying social‐ecological systems in agriculture. This review maps how existing agent‐based models represent the human and natural domains of agriculture, and discusses developments in economic and ecological agent‐based modeling.
