Antibiotics, widely used in the fields of medicine, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and
agriculture, pose a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. To …

The forage lignocellulosic complex is one of the greatest limitations to utilization of the
nutrients and energy in fiber. Consequently, several technologies have been developed to …

The dairy industry has focused on maximizing milk yield, as it is believed that this maximizes
profit mainly through dilution of maintenance costs. Efficiency of milk production has …

Two experiments evaluated the effects of a Bacillus-based direct-fed microbial (DFM) on in
vitro dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF; experiment 1) and starch (experiment …

The aim of this study was to use meta-analytical methods to estimate effects of adding
exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) to dairy cow diets on their performance and to …

This study evaluated the effects of supplementing feed with arazyme and dietary
carbohydrolases derived from invertebrate gut-associated symbionts on the noxious gas …

Exogenous fibrolytic enzymes have been shown to be a promising way to improve feed
conversion efficiency (FCE). β-Mannanase is an important enzyme digesting the …

Herbivores gastrointestinal microbiota is of tremendous interest for mining novel
lignocellulosic enzymes for bioprocessing. We previously reported a set of potential …

The digestion of ruminal fibrous substrate is slow or incomplete and can hinder animal
performance. Hence, the current study investigated the effect of oat-silage-to-concentrate …

Chickpea straw (CS) and sunflower stalks (SS) are agricultural wastes with high fibre
content and low digestibility. To improve their nutritional value and ruminal digestibility, the …
