Swine dysentery is a severe disease that can cause increased mortality and poor feed efficiency with bloody diarrhea. This disease can be treated with antibiotics, but there is a limitation of using antibiotics due to governmental policy, thereby the incidence of swine dysentery has been increased. We, therefore, try to find alternatives with diver...

Results indicate that the current National Research Council recommendations for dietary lysine during late pregnancy in pigs, the period when most mammary gland development takes place, are underestimated. From days 90 to 110 of gestation, gilts were fed 2.65 kg of either a conventional diet providing 18.6 g/d of standardized ileal digestible (SID)...

The feedlot steers in this study demonstrated sufficient homeorhetic capacity to adjust to moderate heat load and recover from it. Intensive measure of performance and physiological variables uncovered an elliptical relationship between DMI and rumen temperature which was underpinned by linear relationships between rumen temperature and respiration...

The emergence of hybrid intelligent systems by combining artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with classical modeling paradigms such as mechanistic modeling and agent-based models might facilitate the predictive ability of existing models. The scientific community still needs to resolve the lack of transparency and reporting of AI for code repro...

Dietary supplementation of xylanase at a range of 750 to 1,500 xylanase unit per kg feed reduced the abundance of potentially harmful bacteria in the jejunal mucosa, oxidative damages in the jejunum, and ileal digestibility of nutrients of nursery pigs.

Zearalenone (ZEA), an estrogenic fusariotoxin, existing in various grains and feedstuffs, could disrupt the endocrine and reproductive systems. However, the underlying mechanisms of ZEA-induced follicular development have not been fully elucidated. This study was to explore the effects and the possible molecular mechanisms of ZEA on follicular deve...

Boar semen preservation and artificial insemination are widely used in the pig industry. Although preservation in vitro prolongs sperm lifespan, reactive oxidative species (ROS) also accumulate in sperm with the increased preservation period. ROS over-accumulation would impair motility, the integrity of plasma membrane and acrosome, mitochondrial f...

Abrupt weaning of pig results in nutritional, environmental, and psychological stresses leading to reduced feed intake, little or no weight gain and in some instances diarrhea, morbidity, and mortality. The post-weaning growth performance lag is often managed by use of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP), pharmacological levels of trace elements s...

The pet food industry is interested in black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) because of its supposed sustainability and nutritional qualities. BSFL has not been well tested in cats, so our objective was to determine the palatability and apparent total tract macronutrient digestibility (ATTD) of BSFL-containing canned diets and how they affected the fecal...
