Association of four differently processed diets with plasma and urine advanced glycation end products and serum soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products concentration in healthy dogs J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-27 Siobhan Bridglalsingh, Stephanie Archer-Hartmann, Parastoo Azadi, Claire Barbier de La Serre, Rebecca L. Remillard, Gregory D. Sunvold, Joseph W. Bartges
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), formed via the Maillard reaction (MR) during processing of foods, have been implicated in inflammatory and degenerative diseases in human beings. Cellular damage is primarily caused by AGE binding with the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) on cell membranes. An isoform of RAGE, soluble RAGE (sRAGE), acts as a decoy receptor binding circulating AGEs preventing cellular

Assessing the potential of phytogenic feed additives: A comprehensive review on their effectiveness as a potent dietary enhancement for nonruminant in swine and poultry J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Sarbani Biswas, Je M. Ahn, In Ho Kim
Phytogenic feed additives (PFAs) often referred to as phytobiotics or botanical feed additives, are natural compounds derived from various plants, herbs, spices and other botanical sources. These feed additives are intended to serve a variety of purposes, including an immune system regulator, an antimicrobial, an antimutagenic, an antioxidant and a growth promoter. They are composed of bioactive compounds

A high fat to vitamin E ratio in the feed protects and improves uptake of the natural form of vitamin E in postweaning calves J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Saman Lashkari, Søren K. Jensen, Leslie Foldager, Torben Larsen, Mogens Vestergaard
In postweaning calves, it is a challenge to maintain the plasma vitamin E level at or above the recommended level (3 µg/mL), which is linked to a good immune response. It has been unclear until now why the provision of solid feed with concentrations below 200 mg/kg feed of vitamin E is ineffective in maintaining the plasma vitamin E level of calves above the recommended plasma level postweaning. The

Comparative study of feeding and rumination behaviour of goats and sheep fed mixed grass hay of different chop length J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-23 Birthe Krone, Jürgen Hummel, Alexander Riek, Marcus Clauss, Martin Hünerberg
Rumination is reported to be more pronounced in sheep compared to goats. This study compared the feeding and rumination behaviour of small ruminants and consisted of two experiments (E1 and E2). In E1, four sheep and four goats were offered low-quality hay (NDFom: 692 g/kg dry matter [DM]), processed to two chop lengths (long hay [LH]: 35 mm; short hay [SH]: 7 mm) in a 2 × 2 factorial (2 species × 2

Characterization of ruminal degradation, intestinal digestion and total true nutrient supply to dairy cows from feedstocks and coproducts from Canola bio-oil processing: Impact by source origin J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-15 Alessandra M. R. C. B. de Oliveira, J. He, Peiqiang Yu
The objective of this study was to characterize ruminal degradation, intestinal digestion and total true nutrient supply to dairy cows from canola feedstock (canola seeds) and coproducts (meal and pellets) from bio-oil processing which were impacted by source origin. The feedstocks and coproducts (mash, pellet) were randomly collected from five different bio-oil processing plants with five different

Comparative assessment of emulsifiers for in vitro ruminal gas production and fermentation measurements: Tween 80 is a suitable emulsifier J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-15 Xiaoge Sun, Yang Li, Katrin Giller, Carmen Kunz, Melissa Terranova, Mutian Niu
Emulsifiers are essential for achieving a homogenous distribution of lipophilic supplements in in vitro rumen fluid incubations. Since emulsifiers can alter rumen fermentation, it is crucial to select one that minimally impacts fermentation parameters to reduce potential biases. This study aimed to evaluate seven emulsifiers’ impact on in vitro ruminal fermentation using the Hohenheim Gas Test in order

Over 100 years of vitamin E: An overview from synthesis and formulation to application in animal nutrition J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Theo Ralla, Anna-Maria Kluenter, Gilberto Litta, Marc-Andre Müller, Werner Bonrath, Christian Schäfer
The groundbreaking discovery of vitamin E by Evans and Bishop in 1922 was an important milestone in vitamin research, inspiring further investigation into its crucial role in both human and animal nutrition. Supplementing vitamin E has been proved to enhance multiple key physiological systems such as the reproductive, circulatory, nervous and muscular systems. As the main antioxidant in the blood and

Effects of biotin and coated cobalamin on lactation performance, nutrient digestion and rumen fermentation in Holstein dairy cows J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-10 Cong Wang, Jing An, LiJun Bu, YaPeng Liu, Qiang Liu, Gang Guo, Jing Zhang, YaWei Zhang
Biotin (BI) and cobalamin (CA) are essential for rumen propionate production and hepatic gluconeogenesis. The study evaluated the influence of BI or/and coated CA (CCA) on milk performance and nutrient digestion in cows. Sixty Holstein dairy cows were assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement and randomised block design to four groups. The factors were BI at 0 or 20 mg/day and CCA at 0 or 9 mg CA/day

Strategies to combat heat stress in poultry production—A review J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-12-27 Modou Mangan, Maria Siwek
The effects of heat stress (HS) caused by high temperatures continue to be a global concern in poultry production. Poultry birds are homoeothermic, however, modern-day chickens are highly susceptible to HS due to their inefficiency in dissipating heat from their body due to the lack of sweat glands. During HS, the heat load is higher than the chickens' ability to regulate it. This can disturb normal

Vendramini, Andressa R. Amaral, Mariana F. Rentas, Juliana P. d. S. Nogueira, Vivian Pedrinelli, Vinicius V. de Oliveira, Rafael V. A. Zafalon, Márcio A. Brunetto
Ketogenic diets (KD) have been used in the treatment of epilepsy in humans for around a century and, more recently, they have been implanted for cancer patients, as well as in the treatment of obesity. This type of diet consists of high-fat levels, an adequate amount of protein and restricted carbohydrates, or high medium-chain triglycerides. Recently, the ketogenic diet has gained attention in veterinary

Role of Eruca sativa L. seeds in boosting the reproductive performance of male Japanese quails (Coturnix c. japonica) J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-12-06 Hanan S. A. Waly, Mostafa Galal Abdelfattah, Nasser S. Abou Khalil, Sohair M. M. Ragab
Herein we attempt to shed light on the potential improving effect of Eruca sativa seeds (ESS) on the reproductive aspects of male Japanese quails. To accomplish this objective, two groups of quails were supplemented with ESS powder at doses of 5 and 10 g/kg feed from 7 days to 140 days of age, in addition to the control group, which did not receive treatment. Forty males were reared singly in cages
