The effects of yeast culture and fibrolytic enzyme preparation (containing cellulase xylanase) on in vitro fermentation characteristics rice straw, wheat maize stover, stover silage were examined using an gas production technique. Four levels supplements (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 g/kg straw DM, respectively) tested a 4 x factorial arrangement. Supplementation increased the cumulative production, theoretical maximum rate IVDMD, OM disappearance (IVOMD), decreased lag time for each type straw....
ZCL-278 is a selective small molecule specifically inhibiting the Cdc42-intersectin interaction, yet its in-vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties against renal diseases had not been determined. Thus, our study explored absorption, distribution excretion of as well pharmacological efficacy chronic kidney disease (CKD). With optimized detection method, absolute oral bioavailability was determined 10.99 % in male 17.34 female rats. rapidly abundantly distributed various tissues,...
Knowledge of maternal malnutrition ruminants and effects on development the immune system their offspring is lacking. A study was conducted to investigate protein or energy restriction during late gestation status at different ages. Sixty-three pregnant goats (local breed, Liuyang black goat, 22.2 ± 1.5 kg d 90 gestation) were fed control (CON, ME = 9.34 MJ/kg CP 12.5%, DM basis), 40% restricted (PR), (ER) diets from 91 parturition, after which all animals received an adequate diet for...

Maternal malnutrition can have temporary or long-lasting effects on development and physiological function of offspring. Our objective was to investigate whether maternal protein energy restriction in late gestation affects the antioxidant status plasma, immune organs (thymus spleen), natural barrier (jejunum) neonatal goats could be reversed after nutritional recovery. Forty-five pregnant (Liuyang Blacks) similar age (2.0 ± 0.3 yr) BW (22.2 1.5 kg at d 90 gestation) were assigned 3 dietary...
The objectives of this study were 1) to investigate the age-related changes in functional achievement (establishment fermentation capacity and enzyme activities) bacterial succession (selected species) cecum colon 2) assess effect feeding system (supplemental vs. grazing, Sup G) on hindgut development small ruminants. A total 44 Liuyang black goat kids randomly slaughtered at 0, 7, 14 d age (nonrumination period), 28 42 (transition 56 70 (rumination period). Intestinal contents sampled...
The effects of dietary alkyl polyglycoside [APG, a nonionic surfactant (NIS), derived from reaction corn starch glucose and natural fatty alcohol] inclusion on digestion nutrients ruminal fermentation in goats were examined 4 × Latin square design using ruminally duodenally cannulated wethers (mean BW: 19.5 ± 0.8 kg). animals assigned to treatments APG supplementation at 0, 3, 6, 12 g/kg DM diets designated as control, APG3, APG6, APG12, respectively. results showed that tended increase the...
Effects of energy, protein, or both energy and protein restriction on gastrointestinal morphological development were investigated in 60 Liuyang Black kids, which sourced from local farms weaned at 28 d age. Weaned kids randomly assigned to receive 1 4 dietary treatments (15 per treatment), consisted adequate nutrient supply (CON), (ER), (PR), (EPR). The entire experiment included adaptation period (0 6 d), nutritional (7 48 recovery (49 111 d). Three each group killed 111, the rumen,...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects maternal protein or energy restriction on hormonal and metabolic status pregnant goats during late gestation their postnatal male kids. Forty-five were fed a control (CON), 40% protein-restricted (PR) energy-restricted (ER) diet from 90 days until parturition. Plasma mothers (90, 125 145 gestation) kids (6 weeks age) sampled determine metabolites hormones. Glucose concentration for subjected PR ER less (P<0.001) than that CON at...
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the major complication of diabetes concomitant with gut dysbiosis and glycometabolic disorder, which are strongly associated bile acid (BA) metabolism. Yet studies investigating BA metabolism involving in DKD pathogenesis limited. This study aimed to explore metabolomic profiling BAs analyze its association progression.
SUMMARY Batch cultures of mixed rumen micro-organisms were used to evaluate varying enzyme products with high xylanase activity (EPX), four which recombinant single developmental (EPX1–EPX4, genes derived from Trichoderma harzianum, reesei, Orpinomyces and Aspergillus oryzae , respectively), for their potential improve in vitro ruminal fermentation three forages [maize ( Zea mays ) stover (MS), rice Oryza sativa straw (RS) Guimu No. 1 grass Pennisetum americanum×Pennisetum purpureum GM)]....
This research aimed to investigate the temporal bacterial colonization relating non‐rumination, transition and rumination phases, together with spatial organization of microbial community in jejunal mucosa digesta goats. study explored programme microbiota by employing 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The pattern exhibited an age‐ gut region‐dependent progression during animal development process. Approximately 268 signatures contributed discrimination between regions, Lactobacillus,...
SUMMARY Five tropical multi-purpose tree species (MPTS), Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Moringa oleifera, Millettia griffoniana, Pterocarpus santalinoides and Treculia Africana , one exotic ( Leucaena leucocephala ), which acted as the control, planted in a randomized complete block design, were selected to evaluate potentials feed supplements for herds dry seasons of south-western Nigeria. Samples MPTS leaves collected 2005, 2006, 2007 2008, weighed, dried milled estimation biomass production,...

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of animals is capable sensing various kinds nutrients via G-protein coupled receptor-mediated signaling transduction pathways, and the process known as 'gut nutrient chemosensing'. GPR40, GPR41, GPR43 GPR119 are chemoreceptors for free fatty acids (FFAs) lipid derivatives, but they not well studied in small ruminants. objective this study to determine expression along GIT kid goats under supplemental feeding (S) v. grazing (G) during early development.
