Optimization of fiber reinforcement in hand-pour epoxy composites for developing low-cost canine composite bone models: Mechanical characterization and material selection

This study aimed to optimize fiber-reinforced epoxy resin (E) and polyester resin (R) composites fabricated by a hand-pour casting technique for the development of affordable canine composite bone models by comparing their tensile mechanical properties and id…

Nutrient digestibility, characteristics of rumen fermentation, and microbial protein synthesis from Pesisir cattle diet containing non-fiber carbohydrate to rumen degradable protein ratio and sulfur supplement

The aim of this study was to explore the formulation of ruminant diets by synchronizing rumen degradable protein (RDP) and non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC) while adding sulfur minerals at different levels. Nutrient digestibility, NH3 concentration, volatile fatty…

Advances in nanotechnology and the benefits of using cellulose nanofibers in animal nutrition

this review presents a current survey on the main research and advances in the utilization of nanotechnology, focusing on cellulose nanofibers in animal feed to improve animal performance

Effects of dietary fiber sources on bacterial diversity in separate segments of the gastrointestinal tract of native and exotic pig breeds raised in Vietnam

to examine the effects of fiber sources in diets on the intestinal microbiota of two different pig breeds raised in Vietnam

Dietary polyvinyl alcohol and alginate nanofibers ameliorate hyperglycemia by reducing insulin and glucose-metabolizing enzyme levels in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and alginate nanofibers on weight gain, blood glucose levels, and insulin and other serum parameters in diabetic rats

Effect of paddy straw plus nonforage fiber sources based complete rations with different levels of neutral detergent fiber on hemato-biochemical and mineral profile of lactating dairy cows

This study was conducted to assess the effect of feeding paddy straw plus nonforage fiber sources based complete rations with different levels of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) on hemato-biochemical and mineral parameters of lactating dairy cows

Valorization of cassava-based agro-industrial byproducts as ensiled total mixed fiber for sustainable roughage replacement in early-lactating dairy cows

This study investigated the effects of ensiled TMF formulated with cassava pulp or cassava bioethanol waste as complete roughage replacements for guinea grass on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, blood metabolites, milk yield, and milk …

Gut microbiota modulation and immunity enhancement by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NL1.2: A fiber-degrading probiotic isolated from native Thai swine

This study aimed to isolate, characterize, and evaluate the safety and functional properties of Bacillus spp. from native Thai swine, focusing on strains with probiotic potential and enzymatic activity for application in livestock nutrition.

Histological and morphometric changes in cardiac conduction fibers after spontaneous myocardial infarction in horses and dogs

Muscle fiber characteristics and expression level of Troponin T3, Toll-like receptor 2, and Toll-like receptor 4 genes in chicken meat with white striping

The poultry industry faces an emerging muscular defect in chicken meat called white striping (WS). The biological processes associated with WS myopathy are immune system activation, angiogenesis, hypoxia, cell death, and striated muscle contraction.

Synchronization of rumen degradable protein with non-fiber carbohydrate on microbial protein synthesis and dairy ration digestibility

The combination of a 60:40 RDPR with 35% NFC resulted in the best synchronization of protein and energy available for MPS and digestion activity in the rumen

Nutritional enhancement of cassava pulp through Rhizopus oligosporus fermentation and its effects on in vitro nutrient digestibility and ruminal fermentation

This study aimed to optimize cassava pulp fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rhizopus oligosporus, and pectinase and to evaluate the effects of optimized fermented cassava pulp (FCP) inclusion on in vitro nutrient digestibility and ruminal fermentat…

Machine learning-based segmentation and quantitative histological assessment of bovine liver fibrosis: Comparative performance of three open-source models

This study compared three open-source ML models, Trainable Weka Segmentation (TWS), Ilastik, and Fiber-ML, for segmentation and quantitative assessment of bovine liver fibrosis and evaluated their diagnostic performance, agreement with METAVIR staging, and co…

Soybean oil addition to wheat bran-based diet improves laying hens’ performance

Wheat bran (WB) is used extensively in animal feed. Despite its nutritional value, its use is limited because of its high-fiber content. We evaluated the effect of soybean oil on laying hen performance with maize meal partly replaced by WB.

The effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae supplementation on intake, nutrient digestibility, and rumen fluid pH in Awassi female lambs

Results obtained in the current study indicate that SC supplementation has a minimal effect on the performance of Awassi female lambs fed with varying fiber levels
