Prevalence of peripheral dental caries and diastemata in horses fed high‐carbohydrate diets
Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary Background Peripheral dental caries and diastemata impair equine oral health. Diets rich in soluble carbohydrates are suspected risk factors, but few studies have assessed their impact. In Brazil, sugarcane is widely used as a forage source due to its availability and low cost.

Metabolism of soluble proteins by rumen microorganisms and the influence of condensed tannins on nitrogen solubility and degradation [PDF]
, 2004 The amino acid requirements of ruminants are met by two sources; microbes leaving the rumen and dietary protein escaping fermentation in the rumen. Much ruminant research has therefore focused on improving amino acid supply to the duodenum by increasing ...

Quality evaluation of pearl millet silages using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as silage additive
The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015 The present study was conducted to ascertain the quality of pearl millet-sorghum and pearl millet-cowpea fodders (PM-S and PM-C) with their respective silages made with or without S. cerevisiae as silage inoculant in polybags. On opening the bags after 45 days all the silages were free from moulds and had comparable pH.

Silage microbiology and its control through additives [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2010 Ensiling is a method of preserving a moist crop. A moist crop can support the growth of a wide range of microorganisms, most of which will degrade the nutrient value to livestock. However, ensiling generally controls microbial activity by a combination of an anaerobic environment and a natural fermentation of sugars by lactic acid bacteria on the crop.

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 ...

Selenium supplementation by addition of sodium selenate with silage additive
Agricultural and Food Science, 2014 An ensiling experiment was conducted to assess the possibility for increasing the selenium content in grass silage by using a selenium-enriched silage additive, and to determine possible changes in the form of selenium during ensiling. Prewilted and precision-chopped silage was prepared from the second cut of timothy – meadow fescue sward in southern ...
