Animal production requires efficiency, safety and environmental sustainability. Bioactive compounds from tropical plants could modulate ruminal fermentation, providing an alternative method to antibiotic treatment and addressing concerns about antibiotic resistance. In this study, the aim was to determine the effects of extract (TDE) on performance, intake, digestibility and blood parameters [i.

Different EOGO inclusion levels were evaluated to assess the dose response and potential effects of the mixture. Three EOGO inclusion levels (0.

The present investigation studied the gross anatomy of the extrinsic and intrinsic scapular and brachial muscles.
Methods: Gross dissections were performed in both thoracic limbs of four formaldehyde-fixed specimens.
