Pasture-based beef cattle production systems aim to maximize the interaction between forage and supplements to increase activity. In addition, supplementation and the use of food additives help optimize production efficiency and improve the use of additional nutrients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the use of additives in protein-energy supplements (PESs) on the intake, digestibility, and ruminal parameters of beef cattle raised on pasture in the rearing phase.

Article Synopsis
- HCV guidelines suggest using direct-acting antivirals (DAA) for patients who either fail treatment or get reinfected, but identifying the cause of HCV viremia in patients with follow-up issues is tricky.
- A study analyzed the outcomes of 112 patients in Massachusetts who were retreated with either first-line or rescue DAA therapies after having indeterminate prior treatment outcomes.
- Results indicated that first-line DAA therapy had similar effectiveness to rescue therapy, showing comparable rates of sustained virologic response and treatment failure, suggesting potential for easing treatment access for HCV patients.
