Background: Rumen methane emissions (RME) significantly contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions, underscoring the essentials to identify effective inhibitors for RME mitigation. Despite various inhibitors shown potential in reducing RME by modulating rumen microbes, their impacts include considerable variations and inconsistency.

Objective: We aimed to quantitively assess the impacts of various methane inhibitors on RME, rumen microbial abundance and fermentation in ruminants.

The aim of the present experiment was to evaluate the effect of feeding a newly produced bacteriocin-like substance (BLS) as a replacement for monensin in the diets of lactating ewes. In Experiment 1, the effects of BLS or monensin at 0.5, 1, 1.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of feeding a newly produced bacteriocinlike substance from ssp (PNP) with a commercial bacteriocin (NISEEN-S; CNP) in lactating Rahmani ewe diets. In experiment 1, the effects of four levels (500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000 unit/kg substrate, dry matter (DM) basis) of both bacteriocins on in vitro ruminal fermentation kinetics, total gas production (TGP), methane production (CH), and nutrient degradability were determined. In experiment 2, 2 wk before the expected parturition, 30 multiparous lactating Rahmani ewes (mean ± SD: 2 ± 0.

The objective of this study was to determine the ability of an isolated strain (EGY_NRC1) or commercial (NCIMB 11181) as a probiotic for lactating cows. Two experiments were conducted: In Experiment 1, the effects of three levels (1, 2, and 3 g/kg diet, DM basis) of isolated and commercial on ruminal fermentation kinetics, gas, methane (CH) and nutrient degradability were determined. In Experiment 2, thirty multiparous Holstein cows (633 ± 25.

Article Synopsis
  • * Twenty-four lactating Zaraibi goats were divided into three groups: a control group without supplements, one with regular corn oil, and another with nanoemulsified corn oil, each on a specific diet for 30 days.
  • * Results showed that the nanoemulsified corn oil significantly boosted milk production and increased beneficial unsaturated fatty acids, while reducing the conversion of these fats to saturated ones compared to the other groups.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the impact of adding cellulase enzymes to the diets of lactating buffaloes on their nutrient intake, digestibility, and milk production.
  • Twenty-four buffaloes were divided into three treatment groups: a control group with no supplements, one with a commercial cellulase source, and another with an in-farm produced cellulase enzyme.
  • Results showed that the in-farm cellulase significantly improved fiber and protein digestibility, increased daily milk yield and fat content, and enhanced the profile of unsaturated fatty acids in the milk compared to the other groups.

Background And Objective: Feather wastes are the most abundant keratinous material in the nature and its accumulation causes multiple environmental problems. Nutritive value upgrading of such wastes through biological treatments may provide ruminant's rations with high quality and cost effective source of protein. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the potential uses of biologically treated feathers (BTF) as a feedstuff for ruminants through in vitro experiments.
