Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Feeding Rubber Seed Kernel and Palm Kernel Cake in Combination on Nutrient Utilization, Rumen Fermentation Characteristics, and Microbial Populations in Goats Fed on Briachiaria humidicola Hay-based Diets
TL;DR: RSK levels up to 20% and PKC at 20-30% in concentrate could be efficiently utilized for goats fed on signal hay, and there were no differences among treatments with respect to N retention, PD output, and microbial N supply.

TL;DR: In conclusion, relatively high growth potential of growing Boer crossbred goats with a moderate to high nutritional plane does not entail a penalty in realized growth when the nutritional plane is low.

The influence of body condition on the fasting energy metabolism of nonpregnant, nonlactating dairy cows.
TL;DR: It was observed that fasting heat production was significantly higher for cows with low body condition compared with cows displaying high body condition, and a linear relationship between condition score and fastingHeat production (MJ/kg(0.75)) was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of cobalt and iodine supplementation of the pregnant ewe diet on immunoglobulin G, vitamin E, T3 and T4 levels in the progeny.
TL;DR: The finding that high-level cobalt supplementation during the final 3 weeks of pregnancy will have a negative effect on serum vitamin E concentration at 72 h post partum is a new and significant finding and previously has not been reported in the literature.

Rate of carcass components gain, carcass characteristics, and muscle longissimus tenderness in lambs fed dietary protein sources with a low quality roughage diet
TL;DR: Feeding small amounts of protein supplements to lambs on very low quality forage diets during dry seasons may be a viable path to improve the carcass weight and leanness in lambs without changing the meat tenderness.
