Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gastrointestinal health is exceedingly important in dairy cattle. Gastrointestinal inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract leads to a breakdown of the intestinal barrier, which allows pathogens and other infectious agents to enter the animal's body. Dairy calves undergo many physiological and environmental stressors during their first few months of life, which can cause the mucosal lining of the intestines to thin, thereby exposing the calf to pathogenic bacteria such as Clostridia species. Previous research has explored diet supplementation, including the use of direct fed microbials, to improve gastrointestinal health in dairy cattle. This dissertation focuses on addressing gastrointestinal health issues in two populations of dairy cattle: mid-lactation cows and calves. In the first study, mid-lactation dairy cows were supplemented with calcium gluconate with the goal of improving milk fat production as well as gastrointestinal health. Unfortunately, during the study, cows were exposed to several unplanned challenges including heat stress, mycotoxins (trichothecenes and zearalenone), and pathogenic bacteria (Clostridium species). Cows experienced sporadic intake and digestive upset, which likely contributed to reduced milk fat content (3.7% ± 0.20 at study enrollment declined to 3.4% ± 0.20 at the nadir). Cows with 3+ parities had greater (P 0.05) dry matter intake (DMI) compared to 2nd lactation cows. Parity groups did not differ in milk fat content (P 0.05), but 2nd lactations cows tended (P = 0.098) to have greater milk protein. Calcium gluconate supplementation had minimal effects on production. Supplementation tended (P = 0.056) to increase milk fat concentration (3.75 ± 0.050 vs. 3.66% ± 0.051), but also tended to reduce percent milk protein (P = 0.08) and lactose (P = 0.07) concentrations. Furthermore, there was a shift in milk fat composition. Cows supplemented with calcium gluconate had increased (P 0.05) production of milk de novo synthesized and mixed-source fatty acids. In addition, plasma NEFA concentrations were elevated in supplemented cows (P 0.05), but no other differences in blood metabolites were observed (P 0.05). In the second study, Holstein-Angus crossbred calves were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments at birth and then were sacrificed at 30, 60, or 90 days of life. Treatments consisted of 1) a negative control milk replacer, or 2) a milk replacer supplemented with Lactobacillus and Bacillus species. No differences were found between control calves and probiotic supplemented calves for performance measurements (P ≥ 0.10). There was a treatment x time interaction for starter DMI and total DMI (P 0.05) with probiotic-supplemented calves having greater intakes for the first 30 d of the trial than control calves. Health scores suggested no differences between treatments (P 0.05), with the exception of a tendency for ear score (P = 0.08) to be greater (indicative of more negative observations) in probiotic-supplemented calves compared to controls. No treatment effects (P 0.05) were observed for plasma health biomarkers, intestinal tissue E. coli or other pathogen abundance, fecal E. coli or pathogen counts, or ileal histology. In this study, the combined probiotic delivered with milk replacer had little discernable benefit for calf health and growth, although this cohort of calves was not severely challenged. Across both studies, the interventions evaluated had few impacts on measures of gastrointestinal health, but documented changes in gastrointestinal physiology and barrier function in growing calves and in mature cows undergoing digestive problems provide valuable insights.

Download or read book Probiotics and Prebiotics written by Koen Venema and published by Caister Academic Press Limited. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed of nearly a thousand different types of microorganisms - some beneficial, others not - the human gut microbiota plays an important role in health and disease. This is due to the presence of probiotic or beneficial microbes, or due to the feeding of prebiotics that stimulate the endogenous beneficial microbes (these promote health by stimulating the immune system, improving the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and inhibiting the growth of pathogens). The notable health benefits of probiotic organisms have prompted much commercial interest, which in turn has led to a plethora of research initiatives in this area. These range from studies to elucidate the efficacy of the various health benefits to analyses of the diet-microbe interaction as a means of modulating the gut microbiota composition. Research in this area is at a very exciting stage. With state-of-the-art commentaries on all aspects of probiotics and prebiotics research, this book provides an authoritative and timely overview of the field. Written by leading international researchers, each chapter affords critical insight to a particular topic, reviews current research, discusses future direction, and stimulates discussion. Topics range from the different microorganisms used as probiotics (lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, yeast, etc.), and the techniques and approaches used (metagenomics, etc.), to the reviews of the clinical and medical aspects. The provision of extensive reference sections positively encourages readers to pursue each subject in greater detail. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Microbiology, Life Science]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research on feed additives for a sustainable animal production, including insects and aquaculture. In five clearly structured sections, the sources of feed additives, details on their biochemistry, feed security as well as specific applications for individual farm animal species, livestock health and product characteristics (meat, milk and eggs) find attention. International expert authors provide a full description on the use of aromatic plants, extracts and essential oils as feed additives alone or in combination with functional feeds of different categories. Readers will explore the potential of feed additives to tackle environmental issues. Practical examples include the use of local feedstuffs in combination with herbal additives and enzymes. Emphasis is placed on the consequences of using local feed sources versus imported feedstuffs on global warming potential, primary energy use, nutrient excretion and the feed additive influence on lessening the pollution from animal operations. The results presented will support realization of the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 12 which stands for Responsible Consumption and Production worldwide. The use of novel and different feed additives can be an important tool to enhance sustainability, support productivity, and match increased food demands around the globe. Animal production depends on feed efficiency to sustain growth and profitability. Along these lines, the present volume is an essential reading for all future-oriented veterinarians, animal nutritionists, agricultural scientists, and moreover the feed, food and plant industry.
