Maternal-offspring gut bacteriomes are closely linked to each other; however, the effects of the maternal diet have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine the effect of administration of octanoate, a medium-chain fatty acid as a phy...
Fodder crops are crops which are mainly grown as feed for livestocks and it consist of a variety of crops ranging from annual to perennial crops. Even with many crops involved, advance crop improvement practices are done less in these crops. With the...
In vitro gas production (GP) is commonly used to evaluate ruminant feed, yet its accurate interpretation requires robust mathematical modeling. This study systematically explores a wide array of nonlinear models to explain GP dynamics across various ...
BACKGROUND: Feed efficiency (FE) is an essential trait in livestock species because of the constant demand to increase the productivity and sustainability of livestock production systems. A better understanding of the biological mechanisms associated...
Suboptimal nutrition in organic waste limits the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, thereby reducing biowaste recycling efficiency. In this study, weight gain data from BSF larvae fed diets with distinct nutrient compositions were used to buil...
