Journal of Dairy Science, 1998 Dairy cattle require fibrous feedstuffs in the diet. However, defining the fiber requirements requires knowledge of many interacting components within the diet as well as how the feed is allocated and processed.

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation
iMeta, EarlyView.This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Acephate is an organophosphate insecticide widely used. This pesticide can be metabolized into methamidophos, a molecule highly toxic. Both have demonstrated the ability to promote serious toxic effects on nontarget organisms and have been identified in surface waters around the world. Therefore, it is important to understand their behavior in
