Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFermentation Quality and Aerobic Stability of Silages from Forage Crops Mixed with Bamboo Silage in Southern Kyushu, JapanMitsuhiro Niimi, Mizuho Kurata, Genki Ishigaki, Yasuyuki IshiiUnderutilization of bamboo contributes to the degradation of woody environments in southern Kyushu, Japan. A novel approach to using bamboo involves processing it to finely ground silage, although this product has shown inferior digestibility and palatability compared to traditional forage crops. This study evaluated the chemical composition, fermentation quality, and aerobic stability of silages produced from Italian ryegrass, maize, and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 22 Nov 2024 · 4,358 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Sacco and in vitro Evaluation of Heating and Formaldehyde Treated Protein FeedAnnisa Rosmalia, Idat Galih Permana, Despal, Toto ToharmatMassive protein conversion into ammonia in the Rumen (RDP) should be avoided to prevent protein quality deterioration. Heating and formaldehyde treatments are commonly used to decrease Rumen-Degradable Protein (RDP), but it rarely used to protect local feed. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of heating and formaldehyde treatments in decreasing the RDP of local feed. The use of fistulated cattle, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2024 · 6,253 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Genetic Basis of Starch Biosynthesis and Waxy Allelic Variation in Rice Grain QualityInnabat Sartbayeva, Aigul Amirova, Dana Mynbaeva et al.The culinary, nutritional, and industrial properties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains are fundamentally governed by the structural arrangement of endosperm starch, a complex physiological phenotype shaped by genetic architecture and environmental conditions. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the molecular pathways driving starch biosynthesis in rice, centering on allelic diversity within the Waxy (Wx) locus, which codes for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2026 · 479 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Murraya paniculata Leaf Flour in Reducing Subclinical Mastitis in Dairy Goats Fed Date Pulp-Based DietsDwierra Evvyernie, Endah Yuniarti, Rika Zahera, Anuraga JayanegaraSubclinical mastitis is a major concern in dairy production, leading to economic losses and antibiotic dependence, which poses risks of milk residue contamination. As a natural alternative, orange jasmine (Murraya paniculata) leaves, rich in flavonoids, exhibit antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the effects of incorporating date pulp and orange jasmine leaf flour (OLF) into the diets of lactating … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2026 · 1,590 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Changes in Forage Vegetation for Saiga (Saiga Tatarica) On Natural Pastures in The Steppe Zone of the West Kazakhstan RegionAmanay Myrzabayev, Zhanbolat Ibraibekov, Zhangeldi Ussenov et al.This study investigates the impact of recent climate changes and reduced anthropogenic pressure on the vegetation cover in the steppe regions of Russia and Kazakhstan, particularly focusing on the effects on saiga (Saiga tatarica) populations. By the late 1990s, a significant shift towards the dominance of grasses and the reduction of herbaceous plants in semi-arid and arid regions was observed, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 7 Feb 2026 · 1,765 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Rumen Fermentation by Inoculation of Cellulolytic Bacteria Isolated from Anoa, Bison, Muntjak and Timor Deer FaecalSri Suharti, Erika Julian Cahyani, Iksan Qodri Pramarta et al.Tropical endemic herbivores such as anoa (Bubalus depressicornis), bison (Bos javanicus), muntjak (Muntiacus muntjak), and Timor deer (Rusa timorensis), can digest various types of fibrous feed because their digestive tract has high cellulolytic bacteria and those can be found in their feces. Previously, we isolated and identified cellulolytic bacteria from the feces of anoa, bison, muntjak, and Timor deer.
