Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBreeding Progress in Mugalzhar Horses: The Irtysh Type as a Model for Meat Production EfficiencyAkimbekov Amin, Uskenov Rashit, Nurgulsim Kaster et al.The Mugalzhar horse breed holds significant value for meat production in Kazakhstan. Developed through targeted selection, the new Irtysh stud type demonstrates outstanding adaptation and productivity, with stallions reaching an average live weight of 486.1 kg and mares 463.4 kg, an increase of up to 73 kg compared to the original group. The coefficient of variation for live weight and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2025 · 2,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of the Saccharomyces Boulardii Supplement in Combined Feed on the Health, Growth, and Fecal Microbiota of Growing CalvesDulat Zhalelov, Serkan Ozkaya, Mehmet Gündoğdu et al.The aim of this study was to study the effect of a specific strain of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii T8-3C (SCB), on the growth, health, and bacterial profile of calves' feces. A total of 12 animals were included in the experiment on a commercial calf farm for a total of 90 days. The calves were fed hay and alfalfa twice … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenotypic Characterisation of the Bapedi SheepKgothatso Masethe, Thinawanga Joseph Mugwabana, Tlou Caswell Chokoe et al.Bapedi sheep are at risk of extinction, which necessitates thorough documentation to inform and drive effective conservation efforts. We aimed to characterize Bapedi Sheep phenotypic characteristics using 231 Bapedi sheep (≥1 year of age) from Limpopo and Gauteng Provinces. The Bapedi Sheep were grazed on natural pasture and the data was collected during the autumn season. Qualitative and quantitative phenotypic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2025 · 5,909 accessesView PDFCite

A total of thirty calves were randomly divided into three experimental groups: a control group and two treatment groups receiving probiotics at doses of 1 g/10 kg and 1.5gt/10 kg live weight. Key indicators, including Live Weight (LW), Body Measurements … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2025 · 3,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Dietary Isoleucine Supplementation on the Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics and Ileal Morphology of Native ChickensCharles Venirius Lisnahan, Oktovianus Rafael Nahak, Lukas PardosiThe roles of isoleucine in the protein synthesis, metabolisms, and growth of chicken have been widely reported. However, its effect on native chicken has not been previously reported. In this work, we reported the effects of dietary isoleucine supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and ileal morphology in native chickens during the grower phase (6-12 weeks). Two hundred native chickens … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2025 · 2,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction and Reproduction of Primiparous Guinea Pigs Concerning Lysine LevelsYasmeen Camila Vargas-Jauja, Karin Marleny Casilla-Huallpa, Liz Beatriz Chino-Velasquez et al.The development of breeding animals is essential to ensure the productivity of guinea pigs, so an adequate supply of nutrients is required. However, information on their nutritional requirements is limited, particularly with regard to amino acids such as lysine, wich affects their productive performance. We evaluated the effects of dietary lysine levels (0.84, 1.01, 1.18, and 1.34%) on prim parous … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 28 May 2025 · 5,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosynthesis and Evaluation of Zinc, Copper, and Methionine Feed Supplements Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae on Duck Performance in Minimal Water SystemsHendi Setiyatwan, Muhammad Rifqi IsmirajOptimizing duck performance under minimal water conditions is essential for sustainable poultry farming. Biosynthesizing essential feed supplements like Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), and methionine using Saccharomyces cerevisiae presents a promising method to enhance growth and meat quality. This study developed a biosynthesis method for Zn, Cu, and methionine supplements using S. cerevisiae and evaluated their effects on duck performance.
