Arch Anim Nutr. 2023 Jul 3:1-15. doi: 10.1080/1745039X.2023.2229721. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo in vivo experiments studied the effects of different alfalfa hay (AH) to alfalfa silage (AS) ratios including 100:0 (AH100), 50:50 (AH50:AS50) and 0:100 (AS100) in total mixed rations (TMR) of dromedary camels. In experiment (Exp.) 1, a total of 18 multiparous Baluchi dairy camel [100 ± 5 days in milk (DIM); 3.65 ± 0.539 kg milk yield] were randomly allocated to one of the three groups (n = 6) for 42 d of experimental period.

Impacts of red clover and sainfoin silages on the performance, nutrient utilization and milk fatty acids profile of ruminants: A meta ‐analysis
AbstractInclusion of plants rich in secondary metabolites into grass ensiling offers multiple benefits for ruminants, from improving productive performance to health-promoting effects as well as helping to reduce environment pollution. The present meta-analysis summarizes the dietary inclusion levels of red clover silage (RCS) and sainfoin silages (SS) as well as the types of silages fed to dairy cows and small ruminants. A total of 37 in vivo studies (26 articles in dairy cows and 11 articles in small ruminants) were aggregated after being strictly selected using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-A...

A new model (Alfalfa-Warfarin-GIB) for predicting the risk of major gastrointestinal bleeding in warfarin patients
ConclusionBased on nine risk factors, the Alfalfa-Warfarin-GIB score was constructed to predict the risk of warfarin-related major GIB. The newly developed Alfalfa-Warfarin-GIB score has a better predictive value than the HAS-BLED score and may be an effective tool to help reduce the occurrence of major GIB in patients on warfarin.

Involvement of cell cycle and ion transferring in the salt stress responses of alfalfa varieties at different development stages
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is the worldwide major feed crop for livestock. However, forage quality and productivity are reduced by salt stress, which is a common issue in alfalfa-growing regions. The relative salt... (Source: BMC Plant Biology)

Osmotic stress-induced lignin synthesis is regulated at multiple levels in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
In this study, we combined physiological, transcriptional, and metabolic analyses to reveal the changes in lignin content in alfalfa under mannitol-induced osmotic stress. Osmotic stress enhanced lignin accumulation by increasing G and S units, which was associated with increases in enzyme activities and decreases in 8 intermediate metabolites. Upon combined analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome, we identified five key structural genes and several coexpressed transcription factors, such as MYB and WRKY, which may play a core role in regulating lignin content and composition under osmotic stress. In addition, lignin ...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1307: Identification and Characterization of Novel SPHINX/BMMF-like DNA Sequences Isolated from Non-Bovine Foods
Franz Sixteen novel circular rep-encoding DNA sequences with high sequence homologies to previously described SPHINX and BMMF sequences were isolated for the first time from non-bovine foods (pork, wild boar, chicken meat, Alaska pollock, pangasius, black tiger shrimp, apple, carrot, and sprouts from alfalfa, radish, and broccoli). The phylogenetic analysis of the full-length circular genomes grouped these together with previously described representatives of SPHINX/BMMF group 1 and 2 sequences (eight in each group). The characterization of genome lengths, genes present, and conserved structures confirmed their relatio...
