ABSTRACT Background: Grass–clover and silage maize are key for dairy feed production and frequently occur within the same crop rotations. Fertilizer management in grass–clover may leave residual effects that influence both environmental outcomes and the performance of subsequent maize crops.

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Abstract Background Cassava leaves are a major byproduct of cassava processing and have a low utilization rate. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Bacillus subtilis were used for solid‐state fermentation of cassava leaves to improve their feed quality. Results After 48 h of fermentation, the feed pH decreased to

Digestion, rumen fermentation and circulating concentrations of insulin, growth hormone and IGF-1 in steers fed diets based on different proportions of maize silage and grass silage [PDF]
Replacing grass silage with maize silage results in a fundamental change in the ratio of structural to non-structural carbohydrates with commensurate changes in rumen fermentation patterns and nutrient utilisation.

In vitro and in sacco determination of neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated cereal straw
Abstract Background Cereal straw is hardly digestible due to its complex bonds of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. That is why chemical treatments, such as with sodium hydroxide, may help to loosen the bonds and thus increase ruminal digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility is a good predictor of feed intake.

Abstract Background Improving feed quality, availability, and cost‐effectiveness is a big challenge for livestock to ensure animal‐derived food for nutritional security. The aim of the study was to find out how some natural ensiling additives affect physicochemical properties, proximate composition, microbial population, in vitro fermentation ...

Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...
