The High‐Altitude Adaptation Characteristics of Microbiota‐Host Cross‐Talk in Yak Gastrointestinal Track

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
In this study, a single‐cell atlas of 117,019 yak gastrointestinal cells across 54 subtypes identified HNF4A and SREBF2 as key transcription factors targeting MYO6 gene. Cross‐species and multi‐omics analyses reveals epithelial cells as key regulators that, through interactions with microbes, particularly Bacillus, facilitate flexible energy supply and

Annual Legume Seedbank Management Involves Compromises Between Feeding Value to Sheep and the Impact of Seed Mass and Dormancy on Survival of Ingested Seeds

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, January-March 2026.
ABSTRACT Senesced annual legumes provide nutrients for small ruminants during summer, yet grazing pressure may significantly deplete seedbanks. We quantified seed passage and nutritional value of pods from 15 modern pasture legume cultivars fed to sheep in metabolism crates.

Harvester‐Mounted NIRS as a High‐Throughput Approach for Predicting Forage Nutritive Value

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, January-March 2026.
ABSTRACT Near‐infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is an effective method for quantifying key plant constituents in dried and milled forage samples. However, the labour‐intensive nature of sample preparation for laboratory‐based NIRS limits its application for selection in routine forage breeding.

Investigations of morphological development, digestive enzymes and microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract in goat kids from birth to adulthood

Journal of Applied Animal Research
The development of gastrointestinal tracts in goats after birth is critical for establishment of digestion and absorption function, growth, immunity and health of adults. However, this process from birthday to adulthood is lacking.

Short‐Term Relocation of Whole‐Plant Corn Silage Does Not Alter Performance and Digestibility in Lambs

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, January-March 2026.
ABSTRACT The current study evaluated the relocation effect on whole‐plant corn silage (WPCS), inoculated or not, on fermentation profile, aerobic stability (AS), nutrient digestibility, and lamb's performance. Corn was ensiled in 40 experimental silos (210 L) using a completely randomised design.

Tracking the fate of digesta 13C and 15N compositions along the ruminant gastrointestinal tract: Does digestion influence the relationship between diet and faeces? [PDF]

, 2018
Faecal stable isotope compositions reflect wildlife diets, if digestive processes along the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) do not alter diet-faeces isotopic relationships in an unpredictable way.

Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Infected Calves Showing Multisystemic Vasculitis on Postmortem Examination: A Summary of Six Cases

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a rapidly spreading transboundary viral disease of cattle and water buffalo that poses a significant threat to livestock health and economies of Bangladesh. Calf mortality is steadily increasing over time. This study documented fatal calf mortality with vasculitis‐driven multisystemic pathology, which has been rarely ...
