Steamed hay for the prevention of severe equine asthma exacerbations

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Steaming hay reduces respirable particles and is commonly used to feed horses with asthma. However, it showed inconsistent benefits in clinical studies. Objectives (1) To assess the effects of steamed hay on lung function and airway inflammation in horses with severe equine asthma (SEA) in remission; (2) To compare these effects ...

Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

Glycerin as an additive for sugarcane silage

Annals of Microbiology, 2014
The ensiling of sugarcane induces loss of energy by alcoholic fermentation, and the addition of crude glycerin may improve the nutritional value of this forage. The objective of this work was to evaluate sugarcane silage with different concentrations of glycerin and the response of different starter cultures to the changes in microbial diversity ...

Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity of European Triticale: GWAS of Yellow Rust Resistance and Agronomic Traits

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) is an interspecific hybrid of wheat and rye. It is a promising grain and forage crop that thrives in poorer soils and low‐input farming systems. It can serve as a viable alternative to traditional small grains such as wheat and barley, bringing diversity to crop rotations and enhancing biodiversity in ...

Impacts of Chemical and Microbial Additives on the Quality of Forage Sorghum Silage During the Fermentation Process

Agronomy
Additives are intentionally added to silage to reduce the growth of undesirable micro-organisms and to control the course of fermentation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two additives, a commercial product based on organic acids (OA) and ...

Validation of a portable near‐infrared reflectance spectrometer to determine harvest maturity in grass seed crops

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Seed moisture content (SMC) is the most reliable indicator of seed maturity and the optimal harvest timing in grass seed crops. Current SMC testing methodologies used in grass seed crops are slow or inaccurate, making it difficult to make timely harvest decisions.
