Effect of multispecies swards on ruminal fermentation, methane emission and potential for climate care cattle farming - an in vitro study.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock ruminants, particularly methane (CH), nitrous oxide, and indirectly ammonia (NH) significantly contribute to climate change and global warming. Conventional monoculture swards for cattle feeding, such as perennial ryegrass or Italian ryegrass, usually require substantial fertiliser inputs. Such management elevates soil mineral nitrogen levels, resulting in GHG emissions and potential water contamination.

Some Aspects of the Physiology of the , a Commensal Ciliated Protozoon Taken from the Hindgut of the Tropical Millipede .

In this paper, the growth requirements, fermentation pattern, and hydrolytic enzymatic activities of anaerobic ciliates collected from the hindgut of the African tropical millipede are described. Single-cell molecular analysis showed that ciliates from the millipede hindgut could be assigned to the and a new species named n. sp.

Antibody response and abomasal histopathology of lambs with haemonchosis during supplementation with medicinal plants and organic selenium.

We evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with medicinal plants (Herbmix) or organic selenium (Selplex) on the immune responses and histopathology of lambs infected with . Twenty-seven lambs were infected and reinfected with approximately 11,000 third-stage larvae of during the experiment (on days 0, 49 and 77). Lambs were divided into two supplemented experimental groups (Herbmix and Selplex) and unsupplemented group (Control).

Impact of Sainfoin () Pellets on Parasitological Status, Antibody Responses, and Antioxidant Parameters in Lambs Infected with .

Our study analyzed the parasitological status, antibody responses, and antioxidant parameters of lambs experimentally infected with a gastrointestinal nematode during the consumption of sainfoin pellets (SFPs) for 14 d. Twenty-four lambs infected with Haemonchus contortus were separated into two groups: untreated animals (control) and animals treated with SFPs (600 g dry matter/d). SFP treatment began on day (D) 30 post-infection.
