An insight into the potential of berberine in animal nutrition: Current knowledge and future perspectives

Navid Ghavipanje et al.

Summary: With the improvement of industry standards and the increasing demand for healthy animal-derived food products, there has been an increasing interest in novel feed additives in the field of animal nutrition. Berberine, a natural substance, has shown various pharmacological properties such as metabolism regulation, hepatoprotection, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity. Studies have shown that adding berberine to animal feed can enhance growth performance, improve oxido-inflammatory markers, and mitigate metabolic dysfunctions. These findings provide a basis for further research on the use of berberine in animal diets to develop novel strategies to improve animal health and produce products with beneficial properties for humans.

Review: New feeds and new feeding systems in intensive and semi-intensive forage-fed ruminant livestock systems

J. M. Moorby et al.

Summary: This review article discusses opportunities to improve nutrient capture by ruminant livestock through new feeds and feeding systems, focusing on intensive and semi-intensive systems. It highlights mechanisms for enhancing the performance and efficiencies of individual animals and production systems, addressing aspects such as improving nitrogen use efficiency and reducing enteric methane production. Additionally, it explores the potential for using home-grown crops or novel feedstuffs as alternative sources to reduce reliance on unsustainably grown soybeans.

Plants-derived bioactives: Novel utilization as antimicrobial, antioxidant and phytoreducing agents for the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles

Mohamed Z. M. Salem et al.

Summary: Medicinal and aromatic higher plants produce sustainable resources for natural product compounds, with extractives and essential oils having antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant properties, as well as applications in food preservation and synthesis of nanoparticle materials. Natural compounds from higher plants can be used as environmentally eco-friendly bio-agents against certain pathogenic microbes, providing alternatives to conventional pesticides and preservatives.

Replacing maize with low tannin sorghum grains: lamb growth performance, microbial protein synthesis and enteric methane production

Yosra Soltan et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of substituting maize with sorghum grain at different rates on ruminal microbial protein synthesis, CH4 formation, and liveweight gain in growing ruminants. Results showed that low tannin sorghum grains can replace maize grains by up to 75% to maximize ruminal microbial biomass production for optimal lamb growth performance and reduced CH4 emission.
