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

High‐Starch Diet Prepartum Enhances IgG Concentration in Goat Colostrum Without Affecting the Transfer of Passive Immunity

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study hypothesises that a high‐starch (HS) diet during the last month of gestation enhances colostrum yield and composition as well as the dam and goat kid metabolism, immune status and performance. Thirty multiparous and pregnant Majorera dairy goats were randomly assigned to a prepartum dietary treatment (CON vs.

Research progress on effect of dietary concentrate to coarse ratio on performance of ruminants

Siliao yanjiu, 2023
The ratio of dietary concentrate to coarse is an important factor affecting the performance of ruminants. An appropriate ratio of dietary concentrate to coarse can maintain rumen fermentation function of ruminants, stabilize rumen environment, prevent ...

Carryover of Aflatoxin From Dairy Feed to Milk: A Systematic Review (1 January 2004–31 December 2024)

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, are frequently reported contaminants of dairy cattle feed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where climatic conditions favor fungal growth, and they can be transferred into milk and dairy products.

Studies on the rumen fermentation by using an artificial rumen technique

Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1969
第1胃内におけるVFA生成に及ぼす基質の影響について検討する目的で,in vitroの人工ルーメン法により一連の実験を実施した.実験1:各種単一基質からのVFA生成.セルロース,イネワラ,オーチャードグラス乾草,エンバク,トウモロコシ,および澱粉を基質として供試し2段階の基質濃度(5gおよび30g/300ml)で試験を行なった.VFA産生量は,基質濃度を増加することにより2倍(セルロース)から4倍(トウモロコシ)と増大したが,澱粉のみは僅かながら減少した.VFAのモル比では,プロピオン酸に対する醋酸の比率が,澱粉質基質において低く,セルロースをのぞく繊維質基質では高かった.セルロースでは,この比率が最も低い値を示した.基質濃度を変えることによって,VFAモル比にっいても変動が認められた.実験2 ...

Evaluating the In Vitro Digestibility of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Larvae as Potential Feed Ingredient in Dairy Cattle Silage‐Based Diets: A Focus on Proteins

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dietary protein has a substantial economic impact on cattle feed, and it is also a critical component for animal growth and productivity. Several environmental issues related to soybeans have led to an increased interest in novel protein sources, such as insects.

16S rRNA gene sequencing and non-targeted metabolomics analysis of the effects of different milk volumes on rumen fermentation parameters, rumen microbiota, and rumen metabolites in calves

Frontiers in Animal Science
IntroductionThe health of calves depends on the colonization of rumen microorganisms in the early stages of growth and development. This study explored the effects of different milk volumes on rumen fermentation parameters, rumen microbiota, and rumen ...

Interseeding sainfoin with alfalfa offers early‐season increase in forage production

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a widely cultivated forage legume valued for its high forage mass and nutritive value but is often associated with pasture bloat in ruminants. Interseeding alfalfa with sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia), a tannin‐rich legume known for its anti‐bloating properties and environmental benefits, has emerged as a ...

Methane production and diurnal variation measured in dairy cows and predicted from fermentation pattern and nutrient or carbon flow

Animal, 2015
Many feeding trials have been conducted to quantify enteric methane (CH4) production in ruminants. Although a relationship between diet composition, rumen fermentation and CH4 production is generally accepted, the efforts to quantify this relationship ...

The Effect of Using Different Probiotics on the Performance, Digestibility of Nutrients, Feces Score, Blood Parameters and Skeletal Indices of Suckling Holstein's Calves

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Adding probiotics to calf milk significantly improved growth, resulting in higher final body weight and daily weight gain compared to the control group. Probiotics, particularly Bacillus subtilis, enhanced fecal consistency scores, nutrient digestibility, and skeletal development.
