Summary: This study evaluated the dose-response of exogenous fibrolytic enzyme (EFE) supplementation on the nutrient digestibility, nitrogen and energy utilization, and methane emissions of grazing Tan sheep in summer and winter. The results showed that EFE supplementation increased dry matter intake, average daily gain, and digestibility, while reducing methane emissions. These findings are important for meeting the increased demand for animal products and reducing environmental impacts in the future.

Summary: Green and black tea leaf silage as a protein supplement for goats showed varying effects on digestibility, nitrogen balance, and some nitrogen components. Black tea leaf silage treatment exhibited lower digestibility and higher output of certain nitrogen components compared to other treatments.

Summary: The research found that the addition of 20% and 40% of Acacia mearnsii negatively affected the digestion of nutrients in ruminants, but reduced methane production. This may be associated with the low activity of microorganisms towards the substrate due to the possible tannin/nutrient complex.

Summary: The excessive growth of filamentous green algae in rivers has raised significant concern due to their impact on primary production and carbon cycling. This study found that while Spirogyra algae blooms enhanced sediment CH4 oxidation and methanotroph abundances, they also contributed to the production of CH4 in oxygenated water, ultimately leading to increased CH4 emissions from the river.

Summary: This study examines the efficacy of incorporating Moringa oleifera leaves (ML) at different levels in the feed of ruminants under in vitro conditions. The results show that replacing 10-20% of the feed with ML improves gas production, digestibility, and rumen fermentation parameters, while reducing methane emissions. No changes are observed in ammonia and acetate propionate ratios. It is concluded that adding ML to the feed can serve as a protein supplement and reduce methane emissions without affecting digestibility and rumen fermentation parameters, making it a widely applicable method for sustainable animal production and mitigating global warming.

Summary: A nutrient carrier platform constructed with green tea catechin and ferrous ions effectively prolongs the residence and absorption time of nutrients in the intestine, improving the nutritional status, anemia, immune function, intestinal tissue growth, and integrity of the intestinal barrier in a rat model of short bowel syndrome. The platform also modulates gut microbial dysbiosis and increases the abundance of beneficial bacteria. This study provides evidence for the use of polyphenol-based nanocomplexes as enteral nutrition preparation for SBS treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of cysteamine (CS) on nutrient digestibility, rumen methane fermentation, N metabolism, and slaughter performance in lambs. The results showed that increasing dietary CS concentrations improved feed intake, weight gain, nutrient digestibility, and N retention, while decreasing somatostatin levels and methane production. CS also increased meat-to-bone ratio and lean yield, but decreased back tissue thickness and the fat to-net meat yield ratio. Furthermore, CS influenced the expression of genes related to growth factors and muscle protein synthesis.

Summary: Supplementation of Emblica officinalis fruit pomace at 20 g/kg dry matter intake improves milk yield and production efficiency in buffaloes, while decreasing methane production and intensity. This can potentially lead to more sustainable and environmentally friendly buffalo production practices.

Summary: The interaction between EGCG and soy proteins was investigated at different temperatures. The addition of EGCG before or after heating induced different structural changes in soy proteins. The binding between EGCG and soy proteins promoted protein aggregation. The inactivation of STIs in soymilk was only effective when EGCG was added after heating.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the nutritional properties, apparent ileal digestibility, and apparent metabolisable energy of broiler chickens fed with brown seaweed and green seaweed. Results showed that both brown and green seaweed are rich sources of macro and micronutrients, with significantly higher digestibility rates for crude protein and crude fiber in brown seaweed compared to green seaweed.

Summary: While ASEAN economies are facing worsening environmental conditions, shifting toward green investment to increase renewable energy production has been identified as an effective solution. This study examines the role of environmental degradation and green investment on renewable energy production in ASEAN economies. The empirical evidence reveals that environmental degradation can lead to increased renewable energy production, and green investment has a positive impact on renewable energy production, highlighting the importance of clean energy investments in mitigating environmental challenges.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of diets containing vitiviniculture waste on intake, digestibility, water balance, nitrogen balance, ingestive behavior, performance, and carcass traits of lambs. The results showed that feeding lambs with diets containing 216 g/kg cactus pear and 144 g/kg vitiviniculture waste resulted in higher intake and digestibility.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel phytase in terms of phytate hydrolysis and the digestibility of phosphorus and calcium in broiler chickens fed low and high phytate diets. The results showed that the phytase effectively hydrolyzed phytate and increased digestible phosphorus and calcium. The response to dietary phytate varied in terms of age and the specific nutrient being evaluated.
