A total of 107 multiparous Holstein and Simmental cows were included, with 66 cows in late lactation and 41 cows in the dry period. The apparent digestibility of key macro minerals, dry matter content in feces, dirtiness scores, fecal characteristics, and serum macro mineral levels were determined. Cows consuming the same diet were arranged according to a completely randomized design. Results showed that, compared to the late lactation group, the dry period group had a significantly lower total dirtiness score, higher phosphorus digestibility, and elevated serum calcium levels (p < 0.05). Additionally, fecal consistency and fecal height were greater in the dry period group (p < 0.05). However, the increased phosphorus digestibility observed during the dry period was not significantly associated with fecal consistency (r = +0.225, p < 0.05) or the total contamination score (r = −0.339, p < 0.05). Consequently, this study reveals that understanding the differences in mineral digestibility between different physiological stages can enhance nutritional approaches for better dairy cow management.","PeriodicalId":7890,"journal":{"name":"Animal Science Journal","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11726135/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142969423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the end of a 56-day trial, one broiler from each replicate was selected, and samples of ileal tissue and cecal digesta were collected to analyze intestinal morphology, microbial composition, and metabolites. The results revealed that 3% CRP decreased average daily feed intake (ADFI), serum total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The CRP supplementation could increase serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and meat pH. Broilers fed CRP had elevated antioxidant and liquid-regulated metabolites. Together, the results suggested that incorporating a moderate level of CRP has a minor impact on growth performance and could benefit health to some extent by enhancing antioxidants, regulating serum liquid, and changing microbial composition and metabolites.","PeriodicalId":7890,"journal":{"name":"Animal Science Journal","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142942845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, cooking or processing venison requires careful consideration of WHC at different pH levels. While this requires nondestructively measuring the pH of venison during distribution, there are no established methods to nondestructively distinguish between normal- and high-pH meats. We investigated the relationship between the pH of venison and impedance measured with touch-type electrodes. Significant negative correlations were found between pH before and after storage and drip loss (p < 0.05) and between impedance before storage using touch-type electrodes measured at 10 kHz and pH after 24 h of storage (p < 0.01). These results provided an estimating equation (y = −0.10x + 10.84) that can be used to nondestructively determine the pH of venison (y) after 24 h of storage by measuring its impedance (x) before storage using touch-type electrodes measured at 10 kHz (p < 0.01).

It may explain that acids, alcohols, and esters mainly influence the taste and aroma of airag, and aldehydes change depending on their fermentation time. We also found that Bulgan provinces` samples contained 20 types of aliphatic hydrocarbons, which may relate to the vegetation and fermentation process.

ALA supplementation at 600 mg/kg significantly improved the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum and liver catalase, total antioxidant capacity, and superoxide dismutase while decreasing the levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and malondialdehyde as compared with the LPS group broilers. Moreover, dietary supplementation with 600 mg/kg ALA markedly attenuated LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress by downregulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) and the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, while upregulating the expression of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GSH-Px, SOD1) and the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

In the present study, we found that CSPG4 is transiently expressed by regenerating myofibers upon muscle injury in the rat. We generated the CSPG4 knockout (KO) rats to investigate its role in muscle regeneration. In CSPG4 KO rats, skeletal muscle development was perturbed with impaired angiogenesis. When muscle regeneration was induced, CSPG4 KO rats showed a reduced number of CD31-positive cells at the regenerating site. These results suggest the role of CSPG4 in angiogenesis during muscle regeneration and development. In vitro, coculture of CSPG4-expressing mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPC) promoted vascular endothelial cell migration, whereas the KO of CSPG4 in MPC abrogated the upregulation of endothelial cell migration. Our findings identify CSPG4 as a key regulator of vascular endothelial cell recruitment during muscle vascular remodeling and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which is characterized by impaired angiogenesis.","PeriodicalId":7890,"journal":{"name":"Animal Science Journal","volume":"96 1","pages":"e70097"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12328044/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144793279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, all isolated samples represented specific EV marker proteins, small particles sized 30-150 nm, and spherical morphology with a double membrane structure. In particular, FL-isolated EVs showed the most distinct expression of the marker proteins by WB analysis and the highest expression of miR-451, which is a stable microRNA of EVs, by quantitative PCR, suggesting that FL could isolate highly purified EVs.
