With the diminishing availability of farmland, climate change and threat declining water resources, livestock needs to meet growing demand for food feed by using fewer resources. The re-use losses as sustainable ingredients formulations could represent a promising alternative cereal grains both monogastrics ruminants, increasing sustainability reducing competition between animal human nutrition. acceptance leftover feeding animals it is still far be completely welcomed in several countries,...
Aflatoxins (AFs) remain the main concern for agricultural and dairy industries due to their effects on performances quality of livestock production. are always unavoidable should be monitored. The objective this paper is bring light a significant volume data AF contamination in several animal feed ingredients Northern Italy. Regional Breeders Association Lombardy has been conducting survey program monitor mycotoxin feeds, paper, we present relating AFB1 contamination. In most cases (95%),...
Ruminant production is an important source of animal proteins for human nutrition. However, ruminants contribute to about 30% anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions worldwide. The reduction CH4 could represent strategy against climate warming. Tannins can play role in the mitigation from ruminants. their mode action not yet well known. Thus, present study aimed gain a better understanding effect ellagic acid (EA) and gallic (GA) on rumen fermentation using model short-term vitro fermentation....
Dietary tannins can affect rumen microbiota and enteric fermentation to mitigate methane emissions, although such effects have not yet been fully elucidated. We tested two subunits of hydrolyzable named gallic acid (GA) ellagic (EA), alone (75 mg/g DM each) or combined (150 in total), using the Rusitec system. EA EA+GA treatments decreased production, volatile fatty acids, nutrient degradation, relative abundance Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens...
Abstract Replacing cereals with food leftovers could reduce feed-food competition and keep nutrients energy in the chain. Former products (FFPs) are industrial no more intended for human but still suitable as alternative sustainable feedstuffs monogastric. In this study, omics approaches were applied to evaluate impact of dietary FFPs on pig liver proteome plasma peptidome. Thirty-six Swiss Large White male castrated pigs randomly assigned three treatments [control (CTR), 30% CTR replaced...
This review addresses the potential role of antioxidants and methyl-group sources in optimising metabolic health dairy ruminants. The productivity high-yielding cows has increased over past 40 years milk yield doubled. Such increases production have been observed not only but also to some extent other ruminants such as ewes, goats buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). As a consequence, all specialized it is essential optimize macro micro-nutrient supply, especially during most critical period...
Milk lipids are composed of milk fat globules (MFGs) surrounded by the globule membrane (MFGM). MFGM protects MFGs from coalescence and enzymatic degradation. The lipid fraction is a “natural solvent” for macronutrients such as phospholipids, proteins cholesterol, micronutrients minerals vitamins. research focused largely on polar MFGM, given their wide bioactive properties. In this review we discussed (i) composition proteome its variations among species phases lactation (ii) micronutrient...
Alternative feed ingredients in farm animal diets are a sustainable option from several perspectives. Former food products (FFPs) provide an interesting case study, as they represent way of converting industry losses into for the industry. A key concern regarding FFPs is possible packaging residues that can become part product, leading to potential contamination feed. Although level has been reported negligible, ensure good risk evaluation and assessment presence remnants FFPs, techniques...
The application of Former Food Products (FFPs) as feed ingredients is already documented in swine, well their beneficial nutritional value. To date, FFPs extra-nutritional bioactive effect has not been elucidated. Therefore, the aim present study was to investigate and compare total phenolic content antioxidant capacity (AOC) six samples extracted by different solvent systems. After methanol acetone extraction, AOC were determined wheat sample (CTR) using Folin–Ciocalteu 2,2'-azinobis...
Abstract Livestock production is facing the feed-food competition, use of natural resources, and environmental sustainability. To address these issues, food leftovers in animal nutrition could satisfy principles circular economy. Among different leftovers, former products (FFPs) consist mainly unsold/defective from industrial (i.e., bread, croissants, biscuits, chips). FFPs can be classified sugary confectionary (FFPs-C) salty bakery (FFPs-B). The aim this study was to assess impact...
ABSTRACT Food leftovers can be used as alternative feed ingredients for monogastric to replace human‐competing feedstuffs, such cereals, recycle a waste product, reduce the feed‐food competition and keep nutrients energy in chain. Among food leftovers, former products (FFPs) are no more intended human but still suitable animal consumption. However, metabolic impact of FFP has never been investigated. In this study, we evaluated replacing 30% conventional cereals with on abdominal fat quality...
