Experimental studies that are relevant to human pregnancy rely on the selection of
appropriate animal models as an important element in experimental design. Consideration …

Carbohydrates are the major component of most ruminant feeds. The digestion of
carbohydrates in the rumen provides energy to the ruminants but also contributes to enteric …

Volatile fatty acids (VFA) and lactic acid can build up in the rumen and reduce ruminal pH.
Low ruminal pH for prolonged periods each day can affect feed intake, microbial metabolism …

Heat stress is one of the main threats to dairy cow production; in order to resist heat stress,
the animal exhibits a variety of physiological and hormonal responses driven by complex …

The potential of seaweed to mitigate methane is real and studies with red seaweeds have
found reductions in methane produced from ruminants fed red seaweeds in the region of 60 …

Dietary starch from feed grains represent the major energy‐yielding sources in diets for
large animals and starch effective digestion has a great impact on animal energy intake for …

We investigated the effects of increasing extruded linseed supply in diets based on hay (H;
experiment 1) or corn silage (CS; experiment 2) on enteric methane (CH 4) emission, rumen …

Enzymes excreted by rumen microbiome facilitate the conversion of ingested plant materials
into major nutrients (eg, volatile fatty acids (VFA) and microbial proteins) required for animal …

Musa sp. peels are widely used by smallholders as complementary feeds for cattle in the
tropics. A study of the influence of the variety and the maturation stage of the fruit on …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an exogenous amylase preparation
on digestion of low-and high-starch diets in dairy cattle. Rumen and total-tract nutrient …
