Characterization of genes and proteins involved in the absorption of long-chain fatty acids in the gastrointestinal tract of cattle Open
Introduction Dietary fatty acids play a pivotal role in energy metabolism and various physical functions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the absorption of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) in ruminant animals remain poorly unders…

Methionine supply during mid-gestation modulates the bovine placental mTOR pathway, nutrient transporters, and offspring birth weight in a sex-specific manner Open
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) predominantly regulates the expression and activity of placental nutrient transporters. The mTOR pathway can be activated by several nutrients, including the essential amino acid methionine. Addit…

Mycotoxin concentration in salt-treated wet brewers’ grains and effects of their substitution for soybean meal and corn silage Open
This study investigated the occurrence of mycotoxins in wet brewers’ grains (WBG) treated with salt (sodium chloride) and the intake, nutrient digestibility, and nitrogen use efficiency in lamb diets. Two experiments were conducted: first,…

Supply of palmitic, stearic, and oleic acid changes rumen fiber digestibility and microbial composition Open
The concept that fat supplementation impairs total-tract fiber digestibility in ruminants has been widely accepted over the past decades. Nevertheless, the recent interest in the dietary fatty acid profile to dairy cows enlightened the pos…

<b>Methods of body composition estimative of growing goats Open
The objective of this study was to compare methods for estimative of body composition of goats based on tritiated water space technique (TOH), specific gravity (SG) of carcass and 9-11th ribs. Ten Toggenburg x Alpine intact male goat kids,…

Fractionation of carbohydrates and nitrogenous constituents of late-crop corn silages ensiled with different specific masses Open
The present study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of carbohydrates and nitrogenous fractions of late-crop corn silages with different specific masses (SM; 90, 134, 172, and 214 kg dry matter m-3). The silage was held in 20-L min…
