The fish gill is a multipurpose organ that, in addition to providing for aquatic gas exchange, plays dominant roles in osmotic and ionic regulation, acid-base regulation, and excretion of nitrogenous wastes Thus, despite the fact that all fish groups have functional kidneys, the gill epithelium is the site of many processes that are mediated by renal epithelia in terrestrial vertebrates Indeed, many of the pathways that mediate these processes in mammalian renal epithelial are expressed in the gill, and many of the extrinsic and intrinsic modulators of these processes are also found in fish endocrine tissues and the gill itself The basic patterns of gill physiology were outlined over a half century ago, but modern immunological and molecular techniques are bringing new insights into this complicated system Nevertheless, substantial questions about the evolution of these mechanisms and control remain

Effects of active dry yeasts on the rumen microbial ecosystem : Past, present and future

Invited review: Transitioning from milk to solid feed in dairy heifers.

Quantitative review of in situ starch degradation in the rumen

Because in vivo measurement of nutrient digestion in the rumen and small intestine requires ruminally and intestinally cannulated animals that are expensive, labor-intensive, and subject to error associated with markers and inherent animal variation, alternative techniques have been developed. Researchers have proposed various in situ or in vitro procedures for estimating ruminal and small intestinal nutrient digestion. This review summarizes these alternative techniques.
