Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1093: Integration of Non-Coding RNA and mRNA Profiles Reveals the Mechanisms of Rumen Development Induced by Different Types of Diet in Calves
In conclusion, the TMR diet could improve rumen digestive enzyme activities, stimulate rumen nutrient absorption and stimulate the DEGs related to energy homeostasis and microenvironment balance, and is thus better than the GF and GFF diets for promoting rumen growth and development.

Comparison of sheep and goat preferences for different forms of stoned olive cake
The objectives of this experiment were to investigate voluntary intake of stoned olive cake (SOC) in sheep and goats. The feeding experiment was carried out with a total of 10 animals consisting of five Karya yearlings and five Saanen goats (28.0 ± 2.0 and 37.0 ± 2.1 kg initial body weight (BW), respectively). Three feeds were offered as free-choice: alfalfa hay-maize silage mix (40:60 in dry matter basis), pelleted SOC, and ensiled SOC. Goats had higher (P < 0.001) dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intakes than sheep, although digestible DM and NDF intakes were similar. Goats consumed m...

Isolation and Preparation of Extracellular Proteins from Lignocellulose-Degrading Fungi for Comparative Proteomic Studies Using Mass Spectrometry
Methods Mol Biol. 2023;2657:305-313. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3151-5_21.ABSTRACTFungi utilize a unique mechanism of nutrient acquisition involving extracellular digestion. To understand the biology of these microbes, it is important to identify and characterize the function of proteins that are secreted and involved in nutrient acquisition. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is a powerful tool to study complex mixtures of proteins and understand how the proteins produced by an organism change in response to different conditions. Many fungi are efficient decomposers of plant cell walls, and anaerobic fungi are well recognize...

Identification of genetic loci associated with five agronomic traits in alfalfa using multi-environment trials
In this study, we used multi-environment trials to test yield-related traits in a diverse panel composed of 200 alfalfa accessions and varieties. Phenotypic data of maturity stage measured as mean stage by count (MSC), dry matter content, plant height (PH), biomass yield (Yi), and fall dormancy (FD) were collected in three locations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington from 2018 to 2020. Single-trial and stagewise analyses were used to obtain estimated trait means of entries by environment. The plants were genotyped using a genotyping by sequencing approach and obtained a genotypic matrix with 97,345 single nucleotide polymorp...

Impact of different dietary fibre sources on production performance, bacterial composition and metabolites in the caecal contents of rabbits
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different dietary fibre sources on growth performance, gastrointestinal tract development, caecal fermentation and bacterial composition in the caecal contents of rabbits. A total of 120 35-day-old weaned Minxinan black rabbits were divided into three groups and fed a diet composed of peanut straw powder (Group A), alfalfa powder (Group B) and soybean straw powder (Group C) as the main fibre source. The final body weight and average daily gain in Group B were higher than those in Group C, and the average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio in Group A were lo...
