Dietary L-Arginine or N-Carbamylglutamate Alleviates Colonic Barrier Injury, Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation by Modulation of Intestinal Microbiota in Intrauterine Growth-Retarded Suckling Lambs [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2022 Our previous studies have revealed that dietary N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) and L-arginine (Arg) supplementation improves redox status and suppresses apoptosis in the colon of suckling Hu lambs with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).

Effect of Dams and Suckling Lamb Feeding Systems on the Fatty Acid Composition of Suckling Lamb Meat [PDF]
Animals, 2021 The effects of the dams and suckling lamb feeding systems on the fatty acid (FA) profile of lamb meat are reviewed in this article. The suckling lamb can be considered a functional monogastric, and therefore, its meat FA composition is strongly ...

Suckling or Non-Suckling? Sensory Characterization of Commercialized Lamb Meat According to Feeding [PDF]
Food Science and Nutrition, 2023 AbstractConsumption of meat from suckling lambs is typical in some regions. However, sensory differences between meat from suckling and non‐suckling lambs are barely described in previous studies. The objectives of the present study were (a) to develop a method to describe the sensory characteristics of lamb meat, including the development of sensory ...
