This study aims to determine the quality of hemp flakes waste that has been dried for 6 months and has a water content of <3% using the Haylage method. The research parameters include physical quality, pH, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,271 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Contamination in Livestock Production: Impacts, Causes, and Mitigation StrategiesMarothi Vincent Sebela, Khetho Ratshilumela NemutandaniWater contamination poses a significant threat to sustainable livestock production, directly affecting animal health, productivity, and product safety. This systematic review synthesizes existing literature on the impacts, causes, and mitigation strategies of water contamination in livestock production systems. A systematic literature search was conducted across Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases using key terms including "water contamination," "livestock," and "water … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2026 · 1,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynergistic Effects of Wheat Bran and Inoculants on Fermentation and Nutritional Quality of Soybean Straw SilageLie Yang, Rundong Qin, Jiahuan Liu et al.The efficient valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass from soybean straw into high-quality silage remains a pressing challenge for sustainable livestock production. This study employed a 3×3 factorial design to systematically investigate the interactive effects between wheat bran additions (0%, 10%, 20% of fresh weight) and microbial inoculant regimes (control, Effective Microorganisms, EM+Trichoderma longibrachiatum) on soybean straw silage quality. Two-way ANOVA revealed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,109 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency and Sustainability of Alternative Protein Sources for Livestock Production in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisOlusegun Oyebade Ikusika, Bulo Luvuyo, Jaja Ishmeal FestusSub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces growing challenges in sustainable livestock production due to high costs and limited availability of conventional protein sources such as soybean meal and fishmeal. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the nutritional efficiency and sustainability of locally available alternative protein sources for livestock feed in SSA. Following PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches were conducted across five databases (PubMed, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOxidative Stress Response of Black Soldier Flies Fed a Mixed Cake of Coffee and Fruit WasteEman Alaaeldin AbdelfattahThe worldwide elevation in population and consumption has exacerbated the issue of sustainable agricultural waste management, mainly for fruit and coffee waste. The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is gaining responsiveness as a valued bioconversion agent for waste management, accomplished by producing multiple derived products.
