The delicate balance of trace mineral supplementation is critical for optimizing rumen function and overall ruminant health. This study evaluated the solubility of an advanced chelate technology-based supplement and assessed its impact on rumen degradability and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) when replacing inorganic sources. The solubility of the advanced trace minerals supplement (ACTM) was assessed at pH 5 and pH 2.

Accurately measuring drill and rock-related operating parameters can significantly reduce the cost of drilling operations. This study explores the potential of monitoring drilling specific energy (SE) and optimizing drilling operations by processing vibroacoustic signals generated while drilling.
