Empirical prediction of organic matter digestibility in grasses, legumes and their mixtures from dairy farms in Atlantic Spain

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study characterized the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of herbage from commercial dairy farms in Galicia (NW Spain), a humid‐temperate Atlantic region, and developed empirical prediction equations for OMD based on routine wet‐chemistry traits.

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 ...

Nutritional Characterisation of Acheta domesticus at Different Developmental Stages for Application in Animal Feed

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The house cricket Acheta domesticus has emerged as a promising alternative protein source for animal nutrition; however, limited information is available on how developmental stage influences its nutritional characteristics. This study compared subadults (30‐day‐old) and adults (40‐day‐old) crickets in terms of chemical composition, mineral ...

High‐Starch Diet Prepartum Enhances IgG Concentration in Goat Colostrum Without Affecting the Transfer of Passive Immunity

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study hypothesises that a high‐starch (HS) diet during the last month of gestation enhances colostrum yield and composition as well as the dam and goat kid metabolism, immune status and performance. Thirty multiparous and pregnant Majorera dairy goats were randomly assigned to a prepartum dietary treatment (CON vs.

Alteration of Acid‐Binding Capacity of Various Nursery Pig Diets and Its Influence on Properties of Digesta Along the Gastrointestinal Tract

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of reduced dietary acid‐binding capacity (ABC) by acidifiers on the properties of digesta along the gastrointestinal tract of pigs. In Exp. 1, 144 pigs at 21 d of age [6.5 ± 0.9 kg body weight (BW)] were housed in pens (3 pigs/pen). In Exp.
