Growth Performance, Rumen Fermentation, and Meat Quality of Finishing Lambs Supplemented with Calcium Propionate or Sodium Propionate.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with calcium propionate (CaPr) or sodium propionate (NaPr) on growth performance, ruminal fermentation, and meat quality of finishing lambs. Twenty-seven non-castrated Creole male lambs (24.95 ± 2.

Genotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of EMP42 a PGPR Strain Obtained from the Rhizosphere of (Sweet Barrel).

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a group of bacteria that associate with the rhizosphere of plants; one of the most abundant bacterial genera in this ecological niche is , which is constantly expanding due to the emergence of new species such as , whose discovery in 2019 has led to the characterization of several strains from different environments but taxonomically related. The objective of this work was to phenotypically and molecularly characterize strain EMP42, isolated from the rhizosphere of . The strain EMP42 is able to use different substrates and reduce oxidative stress in plants.

Evaluation of Increasing Dietary Concentrations of a Multi-Enzyme Complex in Feedlot Lambs' Rations.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of the M-E complex (xylanase, glucanase, cellulase, and invertase) Optimax E on the performance of growing lambs, their digestibility, and their rumen microbiota, and to estimate NEm, NEg, and ruminal methane levels. Forty lambs (Katahdin x Dorset; 22.91 ± 4.

Influence of a Polyherbal Choline Source in Dogs: Body Weight Changes, Blood Metabolites, and Gene Expression.

Choline chloride is used to provide choline in dog foods; however, in other domestic species, it has been replaced with a polyherbal containing phosphatidylcholine. A polyherbal containing , , , , and was evaluated in adult dogs through body weight changes, subcutaneous fat thickness, blood metabolites, and gene expression. Forty dogs (4.

Composition, Structure, and PGPR Traits of the Rhizospheric Bacterial Communities Associated With Wild and Cultivated and .

The Queretaro semi-desert in central Mexico is the most southern extension of the Chihuahua desert. This semi-arid zone shelters a vast cactus diversity with many endemic species. Currently, two cacti species from this semi-desert namely, and are under a threat to their survival.
