INTRO:Currently, there is an ongoing debate related to the large environmental impact of livestock greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the negative effect of saturated fat contained in the animal foods on human health. In response to these adverse effects, dairy producers have adopted strategies to reduce these effects by modifying the conventional livestock feed composition. STUDY'S GOAL & METHOD: ...

interesting Carlos!

Interesting discussion, and fresh air within the literature and Engormix.Lighting plays a crucial role in dairy cow production!Lighting Design is not so frequently discussed at the farm level nor at technical/scientific meetings, however, it's key!

Many of my colleagues and conversations in the animal feed industry focus on additives, ingredients, benefits, and formulation. Other cross-cutting issues have also emerged strongly, such as sustainability. However, feed manufacturing is often overlooked, despite being an almost ubiquitous process of great technical and economic importance. In this regard, commercial prospecting often fails to yi ...

An important article has just been published (Li et al., 2026, Poultry Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2026.106629). HEADLINE: Garlic, as potent and promising as an alternative to antibiotics, could cause metabolic interactions with some veterinary drugs due to its modulation of liver metabolism. ABSTRACT:Allicin, a natural compound with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, is a prom ...

Hello everyone, Still in press, this interesting paper, published by Oladokun et al. in Poultry Science, gives us clues as to where scientific research will be heading in terms of gut health. ABSTRACTPoultry microbial communities are now recognized as key contributors to host nutrition, immune function, disease resilience, overall health, and performance, driving growing interest in this field o ...

Dear colleagues, In this case, I summarize the recent paper entitled “Phytogenics in swine nutrition and their effects on growth performance, nutrient utilization, gut health, and meat quality” published by Madesh et al. in Springer Nature's Journal Stress Biology. ABSTRACT Phytogenic additives have undergone extensive testing in swine production to determine their effects on gastro ...
