Ensiled whole-plant oats are an important feedstuff for ruminants in large parts of the world. Oat silage is rich in dietary fibers, minerals, vitamins, and phytochemicals beneficial to animal health. The fermentation of oat silage is a complex biochemical process that includes interactions between various microorganisms. The activity of many microbes in silage may cause an extensive breakdown of nutrition and lead to undesirable fermentation. Moreover, it is difficult to make high-quality oat silage because the number of epiphytic lactic acid bacterium microflora was lower than the requirement. Understanding the complex microbial community during the fermentation process and its relationship with community functions is therefore important in the context of developing improved fermentation biotechnology systems. These results suggested that the addition of or regulated the ensiling performance and microbial community in oat silage by shaping the metabolic pathways.

This observational study evaluated the relationship between lung consolidation observed at weaning and calf ADG, and the association of pathogen shedding at weaning on ADG in beef × dairy calves up to 238 d. Beef × Holstein calves (n = 143) were sourced from 2 dairies. Calves were managed in 3 cohorts and fed milk replacer and calf starter preweaning.

This study examined the effects of different forage sources on the ruminal bacteriome, growth performance, and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers during the fattening stage. In Korea, where high-concentrate feeding is common, selecting suitable forage is crucial for sustainable beef production. Fifteen 23-month-old Hanwoo steers, weighing an average of 679.

We conducted sensitivity analysis (SA) of the French National Institute of Agricultural Research (Institut national de la recherche agronomique; INRA) 2018 feeding system for ruminants applied to dairy cows. We evaluated which dietary input variables contribute most to changes in each output variable, considering the potential interactions presence among input variables. We applied a quantitative analysis (one-at-a-time analysis, OAT; i.

Article Synopsis
- - Oats are nutrient-rich and serve as roughage for livestock; this study explored how lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase (M), alone or combined (LM), affect the fermentation quality and biochemical properties of oat silage.
- - All additive treatments boosted lactic acid levels significantly and lowered pH, especially with LAB, while showing increased antioxidant activity compared to untreated oats, though no major differences were seen among treatment groups.
- - The study identified 374 metabolites affected by treatments, revealing changes in metabolic pathways; two key metabolites linked to antioxidant activity were recognized, supporting the benefits of oat silage in animal nutrition.
Responses of nutrient utilization, rumen fermentation and microorganisms to different roughage of dairy buffaloes.

Article Synopsis
- Dairy buffaloes are commonly fed low-quality, high-fiber diets, which leads to inefficiencies in energy and protein utilization.
- This study investigated how different types of roughage affect the nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and microbiology in dairy buffaloes using three buffaloes with rumen fistulas.
- The findings indicated that whole corn silage resulted in the highest digestibility, while sugarcane shoot silage had the lowest, and that rumen fermentation parameters varied significantly among the different roughages tested.
