DDGS as a postbiotic feed ingredient in dairy cows
Intestinal barrier integrity plays a central role in the health and productivity of lactating dairy cows, particularly during periods of heat stress and metabolic...
Climate Change and Aquaculture: Strategies to enhance heat stress resilience
Climate change and aquaculture are deeply intertwined, with rising temperatures intensifying heat stress and threatening the productivity, health and survival of farmed aquatic species....
New Study: Nor-Grape® BP-O boosts milk production during heat stress
A new peer-reviewed study shows that Nor-Feed’s Nor-Grape® BP-O improves cows’ milk production during heat stress by enhancing antioxidant defences, thermoregulation, and metabolic efficiency.
Nor-Feed...
Feed formulation strategies to combat heat stress in lactating cows
Feed formulation strategies play a critical role in mitigating heat stress in transition dairy cows, as demonstrated by an August 2023 trial in the...
Preserving gut integrity and reducing enteritis risk in broilers under heat stress
Heat stress compromises gut barrier function, creating favoring conditions for Clostridium perfringens proliferation and increased enteritis risk in broilers. Research demonstrates that specialized dietary...
Arginine in broilers: Enhancing growth, immunity, and heat stress resilience
L-Arginine is a basic amino acid and serves as the most abundant nitrogen carrier in tissue proteins. In mammals, it is considered a conditionally...
Dairy cow health under heat stress: The role of isoquinoline alkaloids
Dairy cow health is increasingly threatened by rising temperatures, leading to physiological stress responses, reduced feed intake, and performance losses. A field study observed...
Heat stress in dairy cows: 4 evidence-based reasons to rethink your mineral strategy
Dietary approaches to mitigate heat stress in dairy cows are promising because the gastrointestinal tract is the initial pathway for many health issues that...
Thermal stress in cows: Understanding the metabolic burden
Thermal stress in cows disrupts the delicate balance between heat production and dissipation, leading to a cascade of physiological effects that impact digestion, immunity,...
Olive bioactives as a strategy to improve animal intestinal integrity
Olive Bioactives with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity help improve intestinal health and resilience in livestock. They modulate cytokine expression, enhance oxidative balance, and support...
