Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of protein supplementation on site and extent of digestion, forage intake, and nutrient flow characteristics in steers consuming dormant bluestem-range forage
TL;DR: Exposure to protein supplementation increased forage intake, digestion, and duodenal N flow compared with Low-CP or control; however, the response was similar when Mod-CP and Dehy supplements were fed to provide equivalent amounts of CP and ME daily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of increasing ruminal butyrate on milk yield and blood constituents in dairy cows fed a grass silage-based diet.
TL;DR: It is indicated that changes in the supply of butyrate do not affect markedly milk yield in cows yielding less than 20 kg/d but cause marked changes in milk composition, as well as ketogenesis and gluconeogenesis in the liver of lactating dairy cows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grass silage intake, rumen and blood variables, ultrasonic and body measurements, feeding behavior, and activity in pregnant beef heifers differing in phenotypic residual feed intake
TL;DR: The results show that efficient RFI heifers consumed less feed without any compromise in growth, body composition, or maternal traits measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) show high digestibility of lipid and fatty acids from marine Schizochytrium sp. and of protein and essential amino acids from freshwater Spirulina sp. feed ingredients
TL;DR: SPI is a good alternative protein and SCI a quality fish oil substitute or long-chain PUFA supplement for tilapia diets are suggested, comparing well with literature values for fishmeal and plant feedstuffs.

Fire in the Venezuelan Amazon 1: Fuel biomass and fire chemistry in the evergreen rainforest of Venezuela
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the biomass, structure and chemical properties of fuels in seven rainforest communities in the Venezuelan Amazon and found that the majority of the fuel biomass was composed of the root mat and large (> 7.6 cm diam.) woody debris.
