Microplastics contamination in dairy cows' total mixed ration
The demand for milk and meat is continuously increasing with the growth of world population, that is expected to reach about 9.7 billion by 2050. Ruminants are one of the main sources of these animal products, thus boosting their intensive livestock. However, ruminants are exposed to a huge number of contaminants, with potential risks for humans. Among

Pasture Feeding Changes the Bovine Rumen and Milk Metabolome
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two pasture feeding systems—perennial ryegrass (GRS) and perennial ryegrass and white clover (CLV)—and an indoor total mixed ration (TMR) system on the (a) rumen microbiome; (b) rumen fluid and milk

Influence of different levels of dried citrus pulp on in vitro ruminal fermentation kinetics of total mixed ration in goat rumen inocula [PDF]
Inclusion of dried citrus pulp (DCP) at different levels: 0 (control), 10% (DCP10), 20 (DCP20), and 30% (DCP30) of the total mixed ration (TMR) was evaluated by in vitro gas production (GP), and ruminal fermentation patterns, in a completely randomized ...

The Economics of Total Mixed Ration Systems in Australia
An increasing proportion of dairy farmers in Australia are looking to transition from pasture-based systems (PB) to confinement, zero-grazing or Total Mixed Ration systems (TMR) in response to climatic pressures, market volatility or growth opportunities.

Effect of Calcareous Marine Algae Buffer on High-Producing Dairy Cows during Peak Lactation
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of calcareous marine algae (Lithotamium calcareum)-based rumen content buffer (CMA) included in concentrated feed within total mixed ration (TMR), fed to 34 peak lactation (87–144 days in milk) Holstein ...
