Forage Level and Methane Inhibitor Effects on In Vitro Fermentation Products Using Forage Rape or Ryegrass as Substrates

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Dietary approaches that decrease ruminal pH may be combined with anti‐methanogenic feed additives that prevent methane formation and consequently increase the dissolved hydrogen concentration. To evaluate the effect of pH and the effect of dissolved hydrogen concentration, two forages (forage rape and ryegrass) were incubated in vitro at two forage ...

Quality of Forage Cactus Silage with the Addition of Hay from Forages Adapted to the Semiarid Region

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study investigated the effects of including hays from different forages adapted to the semiarid region on the forage cactus (Opuntia fícus‐indica (L.) Mill) silage quality. A completely randomized design, with five treatments was used: pure forage cactus and forage cactus associated with 30% hay from gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium), pornunça ...

Effect of a combined Napier grass-oil palm frond feed on the in vivo and in sacco rumen fermentation and digestibility in goats [PDF]

, 2012
In Malaysia, the lack of high-quality pasture remains the main factor slowing down the development of the ruminant livestock industry. The oil palm fronds (OPF), abundant and readily available agricultural by-products, appear as a promising solution ...

Assessment of the Predictive Accuracy of the Small Ruminant Nutrition System for Nutrient Digestibility and Energy Requirements in Goats in Early Lactation

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictions of the small ruminant nutrition system (SRNS) for the digestibility of dietary nutrients and the energy requirements of goats in early lactation. Forty‐eight Alpine goats were assigned to a completely randomized design. During 8 weeks of lactation, six goats were slaughtered per week.

Influence of Inclusion of Cactus Pear in Senna obtusifolia Haylage on Nutritional, Ruminal, and Metabolic Parameters of Sheep

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study evaluated the effects of increasing levels of cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) included in haylage of Senna obtusifolia on intake, ingestive behavior, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, ruminal and blood parameters, and performance of fattening sheep.

Freeze‐dried Lactobacillus spp. improved average daily liveweight gain and reduced methane intensity in growing lambs

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3857-3865, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Direct fed microbials (DFM) are natural and safe enteric methane mitigants for ruminant livestock systems. While previous studies have demonstrated the effect of Lactobacillus spp. on methane mitigation, challenges remain in effectively delivering DFM in extensive grazing systems. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the

Effects of feeding almond hulls to light lambs on carcass characteristics and meat quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3876-3884, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Almond hulls (AH) are the main by‐product of almond processing for human consumption and contain bioactive compounds that can improve meat quality. Although AH are used as feed for dairy cows in some countries, information on their potential effects on meat quality is limited.
