This study aimed (1) at determining the levels of the fungal toxin sterigmatocystin (STC) in the feed and urine of cattle and (2) at evaluating the effects of supplementing the feed with a mycotoxin adsorbent (MA) on STC concentrations in urine. Two herds of female Japanese Black cattle were used in this study. The cattle in each herd were fed a standard ration containing rice straw from differ...

BACKGROUND Shea nut oil triterpene concentrate is considered to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Traditionally, it has been used to treat arthritic conditions in humans. This study aimed to investigate the effect of attenuating osteoarthritis (OA)-induced pain and joint destruction in rats by administering shea nut oil triterpene concentrate (SheaFlex75, which is more than 50%...

Five mature wethers fitted with rumen fistulas were fed grass hay and a sugarbeet-pulp-based concentrate or maize silage and a cereal-based concentrate (50/50 digestible organic matter basis), or without with 5 g yeast supplement (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Biosaf) per day in a latin square design. Diets were given for a 28-d adaptation period, followed by a 10-d collection period to determine d...

supplementary feed exogenous enzymes have improved the growth rates of various food animals. in thisresearch, the effect of endofeed w, a multienzyme feed supplement, was investigated on the growth of carp.accordingly, 134 fish (33.1 ± 0.8 g) were randomly allocated to 4 experimental groups. during the first stageof the experiment (10 days), groups 1-3 received 1, 2 and 3 g endofeed w per kg di...

Burkholderia sp. strain WAC0059 was isolated from a fruiting body of the medicinal fungus Antrodia cinnamomea collected in Taiwan. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this bacterium to facilitate the investigation of its biology.

Feed, is the primary motivation for the cow to visit the robotic milking stall. Highly motivated cows will visit voluntarily, thereby decreasing the need to expend labor fetching cows, and they will visit more frequently and regularly, leading to higher milk production. Forced cow traffic makes it possible to use forage at the bunk to provide motivation, and while it reduces the number of fetch...

An experiment was conducted to study effects of dietary vitamin E supplementation on animal performance, slaughter characteristics and meat quality traits in Belgian Blue double-muscled bulls. Two groups of six bulls each were offered (close to ad libitum) a fattening diet based on sugar beet pulp for 154 days, at which time they were slaughtered. The diet given to the control group (CG) contai...
