Short on time? Read our summaries of recent findings in ruminant and swine nutrition. Several studies highlight the importance of gut health. Up first is a summary of a study conducted on cecal acidosis, an underrecognized digestive disorder in ruminants. Additionally, read research summaries on the following: Prepartal liver glutathione and its association with lactation performance, metabolism, and health outcomes in transition dairy cows; a flaxseed-oil low-moisture block as an omega-3 supplementation strategy for beef heifers; green tea extract complex as a phytogenic supplement to reduce bile salt hydrolase activity and enhance growth performance in weaning pigs; the persistence of subacute ruminal acidosis across first and second lactations in dairy cows; and much more, including live presentations at Georgia Dairy Conference, Southwest Nutrition Conference, and Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium.
