Background Rumen bacterial groups can affect growth performance,such as average daily gain(ADG),feed intake,and efficiency.The study aimed to investigate the inter-relationship of rumen bacterial composition,rumen fer...
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of partial replacement of steam-flaked corn(SFC)with shredded sugar beet pulp(SBP)in the starter diet on selective intake(sorting),feeding and chewing behavior,...

Background: Artificial insemination is a preferred breeding method for beef heifers as it advances the genetic background, produces a predictive and profitable calving season, and extends the heifer’s reproductive li...
Current methods of ruminant ration formulation in Pakistan use foreign-based nutrient availability values.These values may not be optimal for all geographic areas,as variation in environment,agronomic factors,animal s...
Lowering production costs while maintaining an optimal level of production is important to producers in extensive environments. Efforts that strive to match the environment to the nutritional requirements of the grazi...
