Nitrogen is a component of essential nutrients critical for the productivity of ruminants. If
excreted in excess, N is also an important environmental pollutant contributing to acid …

Making dairy farming more cost-effective and reducing nitrogen environmental pollution
could be reached through a reduced input of dietary protein, provided productivity is not …

Extensive ruminant farming systems often face fluctuating pasture availability, resulting in
two periods with very different forage quality. Tannins are natural bioactive compounds able …

The objective of this network meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy of different
mycotoxin binders (MTB) to reduce aflatoxin M 1 (AFM 1) in milk. A literature search was …

The present research aimed at developing practical and feasible models to optimize feeding
adequacy to maintain desired rumen pH conditions and prevent subacute ruminal acidosis …

Nitrogen balance (NB) experiments allow calculation of N retention in the body by
subtracting N excreted in feces (NF), urine (NU) and milk (NM) from N intake (NI). In a …

Physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) is the fraction of neutral detergent fiber
(NDF) that stimulates chewing activity and contributes to the floating mat of large particles in …

The effects of different ruminal protozoa (RP) on CH 4 emissions from ruminants were
evaluated in a meta-analysis, using 64 publications reporting data from 79 in vivo …

This study was carried to evaluate the effects of essential oils (EO) supplementation to
sheep diets on their performance and ruminal fermentation characteristics through meta …

Three experiments assessed branched-chain volatile fatty acid (BCVFA) stimulation of
neutral detergent fiber (NDF) disappearance after 24 h of incubation in batch cultures …
