Soybean meal faces challenges of price fluctuations and limited supply, making it imperative to research cost-effective alternative protein feed ingredients in animal husbandry. This study investigated the effects of partially replacing soy...
Hydrogenated fat-embedded calcium gluconate improves apparent total tract digestibility in lactating dairy cows in a dose-dependent manner [0.03%]
D J Seymour,M V Sanz-Fernandez,K Nichols et al.
D J Seymour et al.
Supplementation with hydrogenated fat-embedded calcium gluconate (HFCG) is a postruminal prebiotic that has previously been shown to increase yields of milk fat and/or protein, in addition to increased milk urea content. The objectives of t...

Do active stables affect the response to novelty and attitude towards humans in horses? A pilot study [0.03%]
E Jastrzębska,A Pawłowska,V Čoudková et al.
E Jastrzębska et al.
The demand for horse housing that allows social contact, free movement, and continuous access to forage is increasing. Active stables, equipped with automatic feeders, aim to meet these needs by offering conditions closer to natural living....
Enhancing the feeding value of corn stover for beef cattle via steam explosion: effects on rumen digestibility, growth and meat quality [0.03%]
S Yi,Y Zhao,H Wu et al.
S Yi et al.
To meet the rising global demand for premium animal protein, efficient utilisation of non-grain feedstuffs like corn stover has become critical for sustainable beef production. However, the high lignocellulosic content and structural rigidi...
Sea buckthorn oil and 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoate as potential regulators of milk fat depression in sheep. Effects on mammary and ruminal fatty acid metabolism [0.03%]
E Barrio,P Frutos,A Della Badia et al.
E Barrio et al.
Milk fat depression (MFD) caused by diet supplementation with a combination of marine lipids and plant oils represents a complex condition that could be specifically explained by the interplay of two mechanisms: inhibition of mammary de nov...
