This study investigated the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and bile salt (BAS) supplementation on lactation performance, health, gut microbiota in periparturient dairy cows. Fifty-one Holstein cows were selected at d -28 before parturition blocked into 3 dietary treatments, including control (CON; n = 17) received a basal diet, whereas UDCA (n BAS groups supplemented with 10 g/d 20 from -21 to +21, an observation phase until +35. Milk yield composition recorded weekly, DMI measured...
This study sought to determine the effect of feeding three levels novel feedstuff fresh Phyllanthus emblica (amla) fruit on nutrient digestibility, fermentation parameters, and milk production lactating dairy cows. Eight ruminally cannulated mid-lactation cows were randomly assigned two treatment groups in a repeated crossover design. There was 14-d adaptation phase followed by start period 1. In this period, first group 4 received control diet, whereas other supplemented with FAF at...
Using animal manure as organic fertilizer to grow fodder crops is causing public health concerns because the major reservoir of veterinary antibiotics. In this study, we used a mathematical model estimate risk human exposure antibiotics when using swine alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Alfalfa was planted in greenhouse and fertilized with spiked oxytetracycline (OTC, at 0, 150, 1500 mg/kg manure), ofloxacin (OFL, 15, 150 mg/kg), or sulfamonomethoxine (SMM, 5, 15 mg/kg). harvested budding stage...
Heat stress (HS) alters the rumen fermentation of dairy cows thereby affecting metabolism papillae and thus epithelial barrier function. The aim present study was to investigate if HS damages function ruminal epithelia. Eight multiparous Holstein with cannula were randomly equally allocated two replicates ( n = 4), each replicate being subjected heat or thermal neutrality pair-feeding in four environmental chambers. Micromorphological observation showed aggravated shedding corneum destroyed...
