2025 ASAS Foundation Folly - Enter TODAY!This experiment evaluated the effects of the dietary inclusion or not of Aspergillus oryzae prebiotic (AOP; 2 g/d) in two contrasting diets: sorghum silage-based (SS) vs. byproducts-based (BP), on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and feeding…
Postbiotic fermentation products have the potential to improve health and support anti-inflammatory functions when fed to lactating dairy cows. Since dairy cows experience disruptions of the intestinal barrier function at various stages of their life, for…
Swine can be exposed to a variety of nutritional stressors that can affect their well-being and productivity. Three stressors of concern include grains with naturally occurring mycotoxins, oxidized proteins in feedstuffs due to overheating during…
The shortage of feed resources and the rising price have become one of the significant challenges for animal husbandry worldwide. Considering the strong tolerance and adaptability to roughage of geese, less expensive crop byproducts are used in goose feed…
Metabolizable energy (ME) is one of the major factors in formulating diets for ducks and most studies on the ME values of ingredients have been conducted on Peking ducks, with limited research on Muscovy ducks.
Previous studies that determined the requirement of amino acids (AA) in cats utilized experimental diets that do not represent commercial cat diets available in the market. Using this type of diets can present a challenge when applying AA requirements to…
Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SCFP) is a yeast product containing bioactive fermentation metabolites, residual yeast cells, and yeast cell wall fragments. In this study, SCFP was investigated for its impacts on fecal characteristics and…
Lactating cows can undergo periods with a negative energy balance due to feed shortages, which trigger metabolic adaptations to support cow maintenance and milk yield. We explored beef cows’ response to a short feed restriction (4 d, 55% of their energy…
Trace minerals (TM) are important for oxidative balance and immunity of cows. Different forms of TM are available for dietary supplementation of dairy cows. We tested whether replacing inorganic salts of TM by organic sources of TM in both pre- and…
The American Society of Animal Science is a membership society that supports the careers of scientists and animal producers in the United States and internationally. ASAS is a 501c3 Professional Membership Organization.
For over 100 years, ASAS broadened membership to more than 5000 members. We’ve developed diverse and dynamic membership programs, and fostered the growth of the premier journal in animal science and the premier animal science meetings.
About ASASMembership is open to individuals, organizations, or firms interested in research and application, instruction, or extension in animal science or associated with the production, processing, marketing, or distribution of livestock and livestock products.
