Short‐Term Impact of Betaine Supplementation on Ruminal Microbial Relative Abundance, Nutrient Digestibility, Serum Metabolites, and Milk Composition in Heat‐Stressed Dairy Cows

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Short‐term betaine supplementation (80 g/day for 4 weeks) improved thermoregulation, ruminal fermentation, and nutrient utilisation in heat‐stressed dairy cows. These effects enhanced feed intake, milk yield, and metabolic stability by modulating rumen microbiota and reducing inflammatory and oxidative stress responses.

Effect of Diet Neutral Detergent Fibre Content on Dry Matter Intake, Nutrient Digestibility, Growth Efficiency and Carcass Characteristics of Finishing South African Mutton Merino Wether Lambs

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Feeding South African Mutton Merino lambs low‐NDF lucerne hay diets improved nutrient digestibility, energy utilisation, growth efficiency, and carcass quality. Despite lower intake at the lowest NDF level, fibre digestibility and feed conversion improved, indicating that highly digestible, low‐NDF finishing diets enhance lamb growth and carcass traits.

Integrating Socio‐Economic and Seasonal Drivers With Feed Innovations to Enhance Smallholder Dairy Production in Gamo and Wolaita Zones, Southern Ethiopia

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The study assessed socio‐economic and seasonal factors in using indigenous alternative feeds such as Vernonia amygdalina that hold strong potential to address feed scarcity and enhance dairy productivity. Feed availability differed significantly between wet and dry seasons.

Capturing Grasslands in Nationally Determined Contributions and Integrated Assessment Models: Review and Perspective

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Grasslands support the majority of global livestock production systems while providing vital ecosystem services. Expansion of the livestock sector over recent decades has however placed enormous pressure on grasslands, with increasing greenhouse gas emissions that challenge the aspirations of climate mitigation.
