“…Higher levels of AST can be a clue of liver damage, especially when paralleled with increased ALT (Pagana and Pagana, 2006). Moreover, the AST levels reported in the present study fall well within the normal bovine range (Aiello and Moses, 2019;Al-Mufarji et al, 2022).…”

“…subtilis and green microalgae supplementation to bulls improved the hematological and immunological parameters (Fig 1). Other studies concluded that hematological profile showed an insignificant change between different groups (Justine and Oluwatosin, 2008;Al-Mufarji et al, 2022). This indicated the improved health status of the supplemented beef bulls.…”

“…Furthermore, propionate is considered as the primary gluconeogenic volatile fatty acids used for glucose biosynthesis (Vanhatalo et al, 2003). In addition, earlier reports found that the concentrations of total cholesterol and triglycerides were high in the green microalgae groups (Senosy et al, 2017;Kholif et al, 2020;Al-Mufarji et al, 2022).…”

Background: Green microalgae and Bacillus subtilis have been known to promote productive and reproductive performances in ruminant species. The present study aimed to improve productive performance, nutrient digestibility and serum metabolites upon supplementation Bacillus subtilis and green microalgae under heat stress conditions. Methods: Eighty crossbreed beef bulls were allocated into four groups of 20 bulls each. The first group served as control, the second group was supplemented with 13 g/head/day of Bacillus subtilis, the third group was supplemented with 30 g/head/day of Dunaliella salina and the fourth group was supplemented with both B. subtilis and D. salina. Daily weight gain and total weight gain were estimated. Blood samples were collected at every four weeks of experimental period and metabolic profiles were measured. Result: Digestibility coefficients were improved in all treated groups compared to control. Body weight gains and feed efficiencies recorded higher value in Bacillus subtilis and microalgae group. The serum total protein were higher in green microalgae compared to other groups during weeks 8 and 12. Moreover, blood urea nitrogen was higher in all treatment groups compared to control at week 12. Microalgae and combination of both microalgae and Bacillus subtilis increased hemoglobin, red and white blood cells.

“…It is classified into nutrient and nonnutrient supplement and it is given at less than one percent level of the compounded feeds (Mohammed and Attaai et al, 2011;Senosy et al, 2017Senosy et al, , 2018Halmemies-Beauc het-Filleau et al ., 2018;Mohammed and Al-Suwaiegh, 2023). It is given to ruminant and non-ruminant animals for different purposes including changes in feed intake and rumen micro-organisms, nutrient digestibility and body weight gain (Ali et al, 2021;Al-Mufarji et al, 2022 a,b,c), ovarian follicle development and the resulting oocyte and embryo quality (Mohammed, 2018;Mohammed and Farghaly et al, 2018) in addition to treatment or alleviate dysfunctions (Mohammed et al, 2012;Mohammed, 2019;Mohammed and Al-Hozab, 2020;Ali et al, 2021;Al Masruri et al, 2022c). The beneficial components of supplements includes proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, pigments, vitamins, minerals and other active substances (Fig 1).…”

Background: The feed supplements to ruminant animals have gained great attention of nutritionists to improve feed utilization, growth and reproductive performances during the past decades. Methods: The animals feed supplements were classified into nutrient and non-nutrient feed additives. They include substances, micro-organisms or preparations. The feed supplements and their purified constituents were fed to give animals’ nutritional requirements and to improve the quality of feed and animal products. Result: Changes in animals’ production, reproduction and therapeutic performances have been confirmed over feeding supplements. Numerous purified components include β-carotene, antioxidant and others. The supplements change feed intake, nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation products. Such enhancements in feed utilization and growth performances resulted in improvements of oocytes, embryos and feti quality. Furthermore, blood corpuscles and plasma parameters, immunity and therapeutic performances were altered due to feeding supplements. Hence, the current review article was designed to collect, consolidate and discuss the effects of feed supplements on productive, reproductive and therapeutic performances on mammalian species.

Background and Aim: Dietary supplements play pivotal roles in promoting productive and reproductive performance in ruminant animals. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the effects of extruded flaxseed and Salmate® (Ballard Group, Inc, OH, USA) inclusion in diets on milk yield and composition, ruminal degradation and fermentation, and flow of fluids and digesta in lactating cattle. Materials and Methods: Six rumen-fistulated Holstein lactating cows were distributed to a 6 × 6 design of Latin square (L.S.). The groups were assorted into a control group fed a basal control diet and two treated groups fed diets containing extruded flaxseed (7.0%) or Salmate® (25 g/head/day). The basal control, extruded flaxseed, and Salmate® diets were formulated as isonitrogenous and isoenergetic. Each L.S. period of the group comprised 21 days, including 10 days for adaptation to the diet and 11 days for data sampling and recording. Results: Feed intake did not differ among the control, extruded flaxseed, and Salmate® groups. Milk yield (kg) and protein and fat composition (%) were improved on feeding the extruded flaxseed diet compared with the Salmate® and control diets. Extruded flaxseed or Salmate® diet had no effect on the values of ruminal pH, ammonia, and volatile fatty acids except isobutyrate, which decreased in the Salmate® group. Degradable efficiency and ruminal digestibility were significantly decreased with the inclusion of extruded flaxseed and/or Salmate® in the diets. The extruded flaxseed and Salmate® groups had a greater digesta passage rate than the control group. The extruded flaxseed and control groups had a greater liquid passage rate than the Salmate® group. Conclusion: The inclusion of extruded flaxseed in the diet improved (p < 0.05) milk yield, milk composition, and milk Omega-6: Omega-3 ratio with no changes in ruminal fermentation, notable negative effects on degradable efficiency and ruminal digestibility. Keywords: degradability, flaxseed, passage rate, Salmate® ruminal fermentation.
