Four Haylages, One Metabonome: Defining Diet Driven Metabolic Shifts in Ponies

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haylage is widely fed to all categories of stabled horses across Europe and New Zealand. Haylage can vary from high energy nutrient dense forage to low energy highly fibrous fodder, yet little is known about the impact different haylages have on metabolism in horses.

Associations Between Benzoxazinoids, Plant Development and Nutritional Parameters in Different Maize Maturing Genotypes

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) silage is a major energy source in ruminant diets and provides fermentable substrate for the rumen microbiota. In addition, forage maize contains benzoxazinoids (BXs), defence‐related secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity that remain detectable after ensiling.

Natural and CRISPR/Cas9 Editing Variations of Dual‐uORFs Synergistically Increase the Nutritional Value of Silage Maize Feed

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The precise enhancement of nutritional quality in silage maize is a core strategy for increasing livestock production efficiency. Through evolutionary analysis of multiple plant species, we identified two functionally synergistic upstream open reading frames (uORF1 and uORF2) within the 5′ untranslated region of the gene encoding GDP‐L ...

Relationships Between Fiber in Feedlot Diets and Growth Performance of Beef Cattle

Animals
A database (110 treatment means from 23 studies) was derived from the peer-reviewed literature to evaluate the effects of various measures of dietary fiber on growth performance of feedlot cattle.

QTL Mapping of Several Seed Quality Traits in the DH Population NPZ06 × NPZ09 (Brassica napus L.) for Marker‐Assisted Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.

Varying the dietary supply of C and N to manipulate the manure composition of water buffalo heifers in Oman

Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2012
Optimizing the composition of manure has the potential to reduce nutrient losses to the environment and to increase crop yields. In this study the effect of dietary ratios of carbon (C) to nitrogen (N) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) to soluble ...

Forage mass, accumulation, and nutritive value of four perennial forages grown in a loblolly pine silvopasture in the Mid‐South United States

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Establishing forage in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations has the potential to increase grazing acreage for cattle farms in the Mid‐South, but appropriate species selection still requires investigation. The objective was to evaluate forage mass, accumulation, and nutritive value of four perennial forage species, novel‐endophyte tall ...

Estimation of Fiber Fragility and Digestibility of Corn Silages and Cool Season Pastures

Agriculture
Fiber fragility is defined as the particle size reduction rate during chewing and can help to explain the effects on feed intake and animal performance of different fiber sources.

Interseeding sainfoin with alfalfa offers early‐season increase in forage production

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a widely cultivated forage legume valued for its high forage mass and nutritive value but is often associated with pasture bloat in ruminants. Interseeding alfalfa with sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia), a tannin‐rich legume known for its anti‐bloating properties and environmental benefits, has emerged as a ...

Physicochemical properties, fermentative profile, microbiological quality, and pathogen contamination of baled silage during long‐term storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7454-7463, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Baled silage is expanding in Mediterranean regions due to climate change and demand for high‐quality forage; therefore, evaluating the effects of long‐term storage on microbiological and fermentative quality is essential. RESULTS In this study, 115 baled silages were sampled from different farms at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 270 days ...
