The microbiome of the buffalo digestive tract

Feng Tong et al.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive metagenomic survey of the microbial communities in buffalo digestive tract, comparing them with the rumen microbiome of cattle. The results suggest that buffalo microbiota has greater potential for fibre degradation and lower potential for methane production.

Effects of partially replacing dietary corn with molasses, condensed whey permeate, or treated condensed whey permeate on ruminal microbial fermentation

A. D. Ravelo et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether partially replacing dietary corn with molasses or condensed whey permeate could affect the nutrient digestibility by ruminal micro-organisms in lactating dairy cow diets. The results showed that replacing 4% of corn starch with sugars from byproducts had minimal effects on ruminal microbial fermentation and pH. Treated condensed whey permeate showed similar effects to molasses.

Use of condensed molasses fermentation solubles as an alternative source of concentrates in dairy cows

Jian Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that adding condensed molasses fermentation solubles to dairy cow feed can increase dry matter intake, milk yield, and protein levels, as well as boost serum concentrations of immunoglobulin G and M. However, higher levels of CMS in the diet (over 3%) may decrease production performance of dairy cows.

A Review Regarding the Use of Molasses in Animal Nutrition

Attilio Luigi Mordenti et al.

Summary: The study aims to summarize the possible applications of molasses in animal nutrition, improve hay and silage quality for beef and dairy cattle, enhance industrial byproduct values using liquid feed in swine production, and improve extensive livestock production efficiency with feed blocks. The focus is on the characteristics of feed based on molasses and ruminal fermentation, with techniques described as capable of positively influencing animal performance, milk, and meat quality.

Management Factors Influence Animal Welfare and the Correlation to Infectious Diseases in Dairy Cows

Francesca Licitra et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the welfare of dairy cows in 36 farms and found differences in welfare assessment scores in Farm management and personnel and Biosecurity between two management conditions. These scores were correlated with the occurrence of certain infectious diseases, suggesting that an accurate application of the checklist could be effective in preventing and controlling infections in dairy farms.

Chemical and nutritional characteristics of Cannabis sativa L. co-products

Alessandro Vastolo et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that hemp cultivation has been renewed interest due to new strains with high CBDA and low THCA levels. Hemp co-products have been found to have interesting nutritional characteristics and may help mitigate methane production in the rumen. Further research is needed to evaluate their correct inclusion in ruminant diets.

Genomic investigation of milk production in Italian buffalo

Alberto Cesarani et al.

Summary: This study aimed to test the feasibility of genomic selection in the Italian Mediterranean water buffalo, analyzing genotyped animals and milk production records. Including genotypes of females can improve breeding values accuracy in the Italian buffalo.

In vitro evaluation of sugar digestibility in molasses

Alberto Palmonari et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated variations in the digestion rates of different sugars in molasses. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose were rapidly digested by rumen microbes, with rates higher than observed in vivo. This suggests a need for modern rationing models to consider modifying sugar digestion rates to accurately reflect in vitro observations.
