Differences in composition and diversity of rumen fungi in buffalo fed different diets
The objective of this study was to investigate rumen fungal diversity and the presence of aerobic fungi in buffalo fed on different diets. Three adult buffaloes were used as experimental animals. Alfalfa hay, oat hay, whole corn silage, sugarcane shoot silage, fresh king grass, dried rice straw, and five kinds of mixed diets with concentrate to roughage ratios of 20:80, 35:65, 50:50, 65:35, and 80:20 were used as the experimental diets. The experimental animals were fed different diets for 22 days. Rumen fluid was collected from the rumen fistula for ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) sequencing 2 h after feeding on the mor...

Genome-wide identification and characterization of filamentation temperature-sensitive H (FtsH) genes and expression analysis in response to multiple stresses in Medicago truncatula
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a systematic analysis of FtsH gene family in M. truncatula, serving as a valuable molecular theoretical basis for future functional investigations. Our findings also extend the pool of potential candidate genes for the genetic improvement of abiotic stress tolerance in legume crops.PMID:37910387 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-023-08851-1 (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

Sunflower cake versus soybean meal and alfalfa for nitrogen utilization when crude protein and non ‐fiber carbohydrate levels are equivalent
AbstractThe reported efficiency of N usage by sunflower cake (SFC) was inferior to that of soybean meal (SBM) in a study in which the non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC) content was lower in the SFC diet. Here, we adjusted crude protein (CP) and NFC levels to near-equivalence among three diets containing SFC or SBM for four non-lactating Holstein cows. Alfalfa hay was also added to the comparison. The results demonstrated that the total digestible nutrient contents were not significantly different among the diets. Intake N, fecal N, absorbed N, urinary N, and retained N did not differ significantly among the diets. The efficiency...

A New Way to Restrict Free Leg Movement During Unilateral Vertical Jump Test
J Appl Biomech. 2023 Oct 24:1-8. doi: 10.1123/jab.2022-0296. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this investigation was (1) to test the effect of movement restriction of the free leg during unilateral vertical jump on performance and power output comparing 2 different jump techniques: flexed (Classic technique) and straight (FC Luzern technique) free leg, and (2) to test the correlation between performance and power output obtained using these 2 techniques. Twenty elite soccer players performed squat (SJ) and countermovement (CMJ) jumps on each leg. The jump height and peak power output were compared between the 2...

The determination of the biological function of bacterial pink pigment and Fusarium chlamydosporum on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
Bacterial pigment is one of the secondary metabolites produced by bacteria and has functions that are yet to be understood in relation to soil-borne pathogenic fungi and plants in mutualistic processes. The study evaluates the growth, photosynthetic, and physiological characteristics of alfalfa after interacting with different concentrations of Cp2 pink pigment and Fusarium chlamydosporum. The findings showed that Cp2 pink pigment has the ability to inhibit the growth of alfalfa, with the inhibition ratio gradually increasing with rising concentration. F. chlamydosporum inhibited the growth of alfalfa, which reduced the ph...

Seasonal shifts in pronghorn antelope ( < i > Antilocapra americana < /i > ) diets under a new lens: Examining diet composition using a molecular technique
by Cole A. Bleke, Eric M. Gese, Shane B. Roberts, Juan J. Villalba
Foraging is one of the most fundamental activities contributing to the maximization of an animal’s fitness, and thus herbivores must optimize their diet selection and intake to meet their nutrient demands for survival, growth, and reproduction. Using plant DNA barcoding, we determined diet compo sition of five subpopulations of adult female pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) grazing rangelands in southern and southeastern Idaho, USA. Fecal samples were collected for two years (2018 –2019), and across metabolically-important adult female life hi...

Effect of alfalfa supplementary change dietary non-fibrous carbohydrate (NFC) to neutral detergent fiber (NDF) ratio on rumen fermentation and microbial function in Gansu alpine fine wool sheep ( < em > Ovis aries < /em > )
This study evaluated the effects of alfalfa hay supplementary change dietary non-fibrous carbohydrate/neutral detergent fiber (NFC/NDF) ratios on rumen fermentation and microbial function of Gansu alpine fine wool sheep during extreme cold season. 120 ewes (3-4 yrs) with an average body weight of 28.71 ± 1.22 kg were allocated randomly into three treatments, and fed NFC/NDF of 1.92 (H group), 1.11 (M group), and 0.68 (L group), respectively. This study was conducted for 107 d, including 7 d of adaption to the diets. The rumen fermentation parameters and microbial characteristics were measured after the end of feeding tria...
