TL;DR: It is concluded that canola meal is at least as good as soybean meal as a protein supplement; and although studies evaluating the use of CMN and CRM for ruminants are scarce, it has been demonstrated that both oilseeds may be valuable feedstuff for livestock animals.

TL;DR: The results indicate that LPS not only is increased during acidosis but also may contribute to ruminal acidosis development by increasing the growth of lactic acid-producing bacteria.

TL;DR: It is revealed that CS supplementation could be energetically beneficial to dairy cows by increasing propionate-producing bacteria and suppressing ruminal bacteria associated with biohydrogenation and attention should be given to avoid the effects of CS supplementation on suppressing cellulolytic bacteria.

TL;DR: Diets containing CS had greater ruminal outflow of trans-10/11 18:1 and cis-9,trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid than MEG diets, suggesting a better FA profile available for postruminal absorption and an interaction between FA source and dietary EE level for acetate was detected.

TL;DR: It is suggested that LPS dosing does not affect pH alone, however, LPS could drive the development of SARA by affecting bacteria and bacterial fermentation.
