Raman spectroscopy is a noninvasive technique to identify materials by their unique molecular vibrational fingerprints. However, distinguishing and quantifying components in mixtures present challenges due to overlapping spectra, especially when components share similar features. This study presents "RamanFormer", a transformer-based model designed to enhance the analysis of Raman spectroscopy data.

Article Synopsis
  • The microbial community in the gut of dairy cattle plays a vital role in their energy levels, growth, and overall health from birth to lactation, impacting not only the farm's production efficiency but also food safety and environmental factors.
  • The push to find alternatives to antibiotics in the U.S. has led to increased use of probiotics to enhance gut health, resulting in benefits like improved growth rates and milk yields in heifers; however, the effectiveness of these probiotics can vary greatly based on individual gut conditions.
  • Advanced sequencing technologies are now helping to understand how probiotics change gut microbial diversity, which in turn influences cattle health and performance, highlighting that not all probiotics are equally effective and their success depends on various biological factors.

North America is a large producer of beef and contains approximately 12% of the world's cattle inventory. Feedlots are an integral part of modern cattle production in North America, producing a high-quality, wholesome protein food for humans. Cattle, during their final stage, are fed readily digestible high-energy density rations in feedlots.

The gastrointestinal tract, or gut, microbiota is a microbial community containing a variety of microorganisms colonizing throughout the gut that plays a crucial role in animal health, growth performance, and welfare. The gut microbiota is closely associated with the quality and microbiological safety of foods and food products originating from animals. The gut microbiota of the host can be modulated and enhanced in ways that improve the quality and safety of foods of animal origin.
