The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, a proposed rule by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), would require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports.

The top executives of the four biggest meatpacking companies in the United States faced lawmakers on Capitol Hill, regarding anti-competitive accusations. This is the first time any of the executives provided congressional testimony since the president and some lawmakers accused the companies of unfairly hiking meat prices.

After weaning, the piglet digestive tract must adapt in order to effectively break down and absorb nutrients derived from plant-based ingredients, contributing to the postweaning growth lag.

Studies in recent years have shown that tannic acid has various biological functions such as astringency, anti-inflammatory effect, and anti-oxidation property, which has good potential to improve diarrhea and intestinal health of animals.

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) impairs postnatal growth and development in neonatal piglets. Ferulic acid (FA) is a ubiquitous phenolic compound that is present in numerous fruits and vegetables and possesses various biological activities.

The current study identified the functional single nucleotide polymorphisms for the porcine SLC6A4 (serotonin transporter) gene associated with aggressive behavior of pigs after mixing.

Wet brewer’s grain (WBG) is the most abundant byproduct in the manufacture of beer and its rich nutritional composition makes it a valuable feed for cattle. However, WBG is highly susceptible to spoilage so the application of cost-effective preservatives may be a viable approach to prevent nutrient losses during ensiling and feed out.

Results indicate that the current National Research Council recommendations for dietary lysine during late pregnancy in pigs, the period when most mammary gland development takes place, are underestimated.

Pullorosis caused by Salmonella pullorum (S. pullorum) is a severe contagious disease and could cause great economic loss to the poultry industry. Antibiotics are usually used to control pullorosis, while prolonged use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains

This study aimed to evaluate biological water quality on Western German dairy farms, identify potential risk factors for impairment, and evaluate rapid test systems to score the hygienic status of troughs.

A study evaluated the effects of supplementing a multi-enzyme mixture that contain fiber degrading enzymes and phytase on the growth performance, bone strength, and fecal microbial composition of grow-finish pigs fed corn-wheat-wheat bran-based diets.

The estimation of variance components is computationally expensive under large-scale genetic evaluations due to several inversions of the coefficient matrix. Variance components are used as parameters for estimating breeding values in mixed model equations (MME).

Live yeast culture (LYC) is composed of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its metabolites such as mannan-oligosaccharides, peptides, nucleotides, vitamins and unknown growth factors. The supplementation of LYC is expected to exert health benefits in animals; however, the responses of broiler chickens to supplemental LYC is not fully explored.

Larkspurs (Delphinium spp.) are native forbs poisonous to cattle and cost livestock producers millions of dollars in losses each year. The role mineral status may play in larkspur poisoning in cattle is unclear.

Over any summer, most feedlot steers in Australia will encounter 2 to 3 moderate heat waves lasting 5 to 6 d. The ability of these animals to adjust to the hot conditions and recovery from them is not well understood.

Cereal grains and by-products from cereal processing are extensively used in diets for pigs. These feedstuffs contain soluble fiber that makes digesta viscous in the small intestine.

This study aimed to evaluate biological water quality on Western German dairy farms, identify potential risk factors for impairment, and evaluate rapid test systems to score the hygienic status of troughs.

This study evaluated the influence of purebred Nellore and its crosses with Simmental, Angus, and Canchim slaughtered at the same age and body composition on their net energy requirement for maintenance (NEm).

Feed costs the major portion of poultry industry which is estimated to be 60% to 70%. The current study focused to add the fermented agro-industrial by product most of which were waste residues to the laying hen’s diet.

There are many ingredients utilized in dog foods that provide a source of dietary fiber. However, new ingredient sources can help to add variety to diet formulas and may provide benefits to pet food processing and animal health.
