Feeding Laboratory Mice: Comparing a Standard Versus a Purified Diet – Marked Effects on Digestive Physiology

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diet composition and processing have a major impact on its utilisation by the animal, as is known from farm and pet animal species. This includes effects on energy and nutrient digestibility, the intermediary metabolism, and the intestinal microbiome, with all the resulting impacts. For laboratory animals, data is scarce on influencing factors

Effect of different levels of compound microbial preparation on feed quality and rumen degradation characteristics of corn straw

Siliao yanjiu, 2023
The experiment aimed to investigate the effect of different levels of composite microbial preparation on the nutritional composition, fermentation quality and rumen degradation of corn straw silage. The experiment was divided into four groups.

Nutritional value of canola expellers produced "on farm" by cold extraction of oil used as bio fuel [PDF]

, 2013
General aim of this thesis was to study canola expellers (CE) extracted by cold pressing in a small plant (on farm) and to evaluate the validity to use this by-product in ruminant feeding. The thesis includes the results of four experimental contributes:

Cellulosic waste degradation by rumen-enhanced anaerobic digestion

, 2003
Anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic material is carried out effectively in many natural microbial ecosystems including the rumen. A rumen-enhanced anaerobic sequencing batch reactor was used to investigate cellulose degradation to give analysis of ...

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Effects of fermentation products of silage on its intake by cattle [PDF]

, 1992
The end-products of silage fermentation have been implicated as factors limiting its intake by ruminant animals, although the contribution of individual chemical components is not clearly understood. A series of experiments were conducted to investigate

The effect of increasing the proportion of barley straw in pelleted concentrate diets given to lambs on rumen outflow rate and degradation of protein supplements

, 1992
Two experiments are described in which growing lambs were offered ad libitum two concentrate pelleted diets containing 60 (diet C) or 230 (diet D) g/kg barley straw.In the first experiment, eight male and eight female lambs were used to determine the ...

How Host Phylogeny, Diet, and Habitat Affect Gut Microbial Diversity in Wild Snakes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Gut microbiota plays critical roles in host digestion, immune regulation, neurochemical signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Based on wild snakes (73 individuals from 23 species) from China, we explored the composition, characteristics, and functions of gut microbes across different groups using fecal metagenomic samples; further we explored the ...
