Effect of feeding total mixed ration with ad libitum or restricted pelleted starter on growth performance, rumination behaviour, blood metabolites and rumen fermentation of Holstein calves

, 2023
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of diet with ad libitum TMR and restricted starter on animal performance, rumination time, blood metabolites and rumen fermentation of Holstein calves during the pre- and post-weaning periods.

Life history attributes influencing metabolic variation in an estuarine fish

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Considering that energy availability and oxygen transport potential are limited in supplying metabolic requirements, all animals face trade‐offs between competing metabolic demands.

Transcriptional breakpoints as predictors of thermal thresholds in a climate‐impacted stenothermal fish

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The biogeography of ectotherms is greatly influenced by their thermal tolerance, which is expected to be tightly coupled to aerobic performance. However, preferred temperatures of ectotherms often deviate substantially from aerobic performance optima. This suggests that

Diet choice by goats as effect of milk production level during late lactation

Animal, 2013
The diet self-regulation ability of goats during late lactation has been studied with regard to their production level. Two groups of seven Girgentana goats producing 1100 ± 157 g/day (H group) and 613 ± 138 g/day (L group) were housed in individual pens

Differences in Feeding Management of Pet Rabbits by Owners and Hobby Breeders and Their Impact on Animals' Health: A Survey

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the last decades, the population of pet rabbits in Europe has increased significantly, but to date studies into feeding management of these species have been mainly conducted in production animals. This study aimed to evaluate the feeding practices of both pet rabbit owners and hobby breeders in Germany and how these may affect animal ...

Diet‐Related Differences Predominate Over Breed‐Associated Differences in Hepatic Lipid Metabolism, Antioxidant Vitamins and Lipid Quality Indices Among Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how nutritional management and genetic background influence hepatic metabolism is important for improving the nutritional quality of bovine products in tropical production systems. This study evaluated breed‐associated differences under a common dietary regimen and diet‐related differences within the Nelore breed with respect to ...

Circadian regulation of reproduction and neoblast cell division in the catenulid flatworm Stenostomum virginianum (Platyhelminthes)

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...

Surgical management of recurrent oesophageal obstruction in a yearling Saddlebred filly

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page e585-e590, September 2026.
Summary This case report describes the diagnostic approach and surgical management of a yearling Saddlebred filly with recurrent oesophageal obstruction, likely caused by an acquired extraluminal oesophageal stricture. The filly initially presented with repeated episodes of oesophageal obstruction, which were resolved with sedation and nasogastric ...

Diagnosis and management of equine metabolic syndrome

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page 471-480, September 2026.
Summary Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder that increases the risk of hyperinsulinaemia‐associated laminitis (HAL), the most common and clinically significant form of laminitis. The central pathological feature of EMS is insulin dysregulation (ID), which encompasses basal or postprandial hyperinsulinaemia and tissue ...
