Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Diet Type Impacts Production Performance of Fattening Lambs by Manipulating the Ruminal Microbiota and Metabolome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The pelleted total mixed ration (PTMR) has a positive effect on the productivity of fattening lambs. However, whether the beneficial effects are underpinned by altering the rumen microbiota and metabolome that remain unclear.

Variability in chewing, ruminal fermentation, digestibility and bacterial communities between subacute ruminal acidosis-susceptible and acidosis-tolerant sheep

Animal, 2023
Sorting behaviour is a common phenomenon observed in ruminants when they are provided with a total mixed ration, which contributes to variations in the severity of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA).

Evaluation of palm oil and water temperature in bioactive edible film preparation of total mixed ration pellet on hardness and microbial profile

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract The effects of palm oil and water temperature on preparation of bioactive edible film (BEF) in total mixed ration (TMR) pellets were investigated, with highlight on hardness and microbial composition. The research followed a completely randomized design (CRD) with factorial of 4 × 4 with 3 replications.

Effects of feeding ground versus pelleted total mixed ration on digestion, rumen function and milk production performance of dairy cows [PDF]

International Journal of Dairy Technology, 2019
This study evaluated the effects of feeding ground (G) versus pelleted (P) total mixed ration (PTMR) on digestibility and milk production performance of mid‐lactation dairy cows over a 42‐days period. Results showed that, compared to GTMR, feeding PTMR increased dry matter intake and digestibility, ruminal propionate proportions and milk protein ...

Total mixed ration pellets for light fattening lambs: effects on animal health

Animal, 2015
Fifty male Merino lambs (6 to 8 weeks, 14.1 kg; n=10 per group) were used to study the effect of feeding system: barley straw in long form and concentrate pellets in separate troughs (Control), ad libitum alfalfa supplemented with concentrate in separate troughs (Alfalfa) or including various levels of ground barley straw in concentrate pellets (B05 ...

Need for protein supplementation in the diet of growing dairy bulls fed total mixed ration based on moderate digestible grass silage and barley [PDF]

, 2008
The objective of the present experiment was to study the need for the protein supplementation in the diet of growing dairy bulls (initial live weight 272 ± 28.5 kg and final live weight 666 ± 31.2 kg, on average) fed total mixed ration based on moderate ...

The Effect of the Stirring Speed on the In Vitro Dry Matter Degradability of Feeds

Fermentation, 2023
In vitro methods have been standardized and tested to correctly simulate the rumen environment and fermentation process. A few studies have verified that the feed degradability achieved as a result of stirring the samples is higher when the samples are ...
