Article Abstract
The expected increase in the population will put more pressure on resources, which means there will be a greater demand for food and the need for different ingredients to feed animals. This study aimed to explore the potential benefits of replacing alfalfa-based total mixed ration (TMR) with spp. On carcass characteristics and meat quality traits in lamb. The experiment involved 60 intact male lambs of the Harri breed, averaging 24 ± 1 kg in weight and approximately 5 months old. Lambs were randomly divided into five feeding groups: T1 (40 % alfalfa-based TMR), T2 (40 % ), T3 (40 % ), T4 (20 % alfalfa-based TMR + 20 % ), and T5 (20 % alfalfa-based TMR + 20 % The results confirmed that incorporating spp. Into lamb diets significantly reduced intramuscular fat content. Supplementation also improved tenderness, texture properties, and water-holding capacity. Additionally, the treatment groups exhibited a significant decrease in total non-carcass components compared to the control group. Overall, these findings suggest positive changes and enhancements in lamb carcass traits and meat quality attributes with spp. Supplementation, without observed adverse effects.

It is unknown how human health is affected by the current increased consumption of ultra-processed plant-based meat analogues (PBMA). In the present study, rats were fed an experimental diet based on pork or a commercial PBMA, matched for protein, fat, and carbohydrate content for three weeks. Rats on the PBMA diet exhibited metabolic changes indicative of lower protein digestibility and/or dietary amino acid imbalance, alongside increased mesenteric (+38%) and retroperitoneal (+20%) fat depositions despite lower food and energy intake.

Liver abscesses are a concern in feedlot cattle, and little is known about the role of genetics in their development. This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters and to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with liver abscesses. Crossbred cattle representing 18 breeds in the United States Meat Animal Research Center Germplasm Evaluation Program were phenotyped for liver abscesses at slaughter (n = 9,044).

Objective: To identify potential nutritional risks for women using the FIGO Nutrition Checklist in relation to region, age and pregnancy/intention.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using 1515 responses from the online version of the FIGO Nutrition Checklist available on the FIGO website. Participants who responded "No" to at least one dietary question were classified as at potential nutritional risk.

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to assess the effects of hydrolyzed feather meal (HFM) as a fish meal replacement on the growth performance, flesh quality, skin color, and intestinal microbiota of yellow catfish (). Five isonitrogen (44% crude protein) and isolipidic (8.5% crude lipid) diets were formulated with varying levels of HFM at 0% (FM, control), 2.

In this study, yak bone collagen peptide-tea polyphenol binding peptides (YCP/TP) were successfully prepared and investigated for their positive effects in replacing nitrite to improve the color, texture, flavor and bacterial community structure of fermented sausages. Results showed that YCP/TP primarily binds through hydrogen bond interactions, enhancing its stability and functional properties. The YCP/TP can effectively inhibit the increase in pH, protein carbonyls and TBARS (p < 0.
