The aim of our study was to assess the effects of low or high-starch diets with or without palmitic acid (C16:0) supplementation on the yield of milk, milk components, and energy partitioning of primiparous and multiparous dairy cows between mid and late-lactation. Thirty-two Holstein cows, 12 primiparous ([mean ± SD] 163 ± 33 d in milk) and 20 multiparous ([mean ± SD] 179 ± 37 d in milk), were used in a split-plot Latin square design. Parity was considered the main plot, and within each plot, treatments were then randomly assigned in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square with 21 d periods and balanced for carryover effects.

Preserving natural resources while addressing global food demand is a critical responsibility of the agricultural sector. In light of this, strategically integrating domestic herbivores into crop monocultures is seen as a promising opportunity to generate additional income and improve the efficiency of food production. Our study presents long-term results from experimentation on Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems (ICLS), revealing its productive and environmental benefits.

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive and fast technology that has been increasingly used to analyse livestock diet quality. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to examine the utilisation of NIRS technology for analysing livestock diet quality, with a focus on identifying trends, methodologies, and challenges in recent research. We conducted a systematic search of the literature on five electronic databases and retrieved 718 studies that have been published on the subject.
