Nutrient Sensing and Microbiota Crosstalk: Driving Determinants Shaping Metabolic Stability and Adaptive Physiology for Animal Health
Abstract: Nutrient sensing is a fundamental cellular process that enables animals to adapt to fluctuating dietary inputs while maintaining metabolic homeostasis and health. Recent advances reveal that the gut microbiota functions as an active metabolic partner, producing bioactive metabolites that directly influence host nutrient-sensing pathways and downstream cellular responses. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the integration of key signalling networks, including adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), mechanistic target of …

Nutrient–Xenobiotic Crosstalk in Dairy Cattle: Implications for Metabolism, Immunity, Health, and Productivity in Resilient Dairy Development
Abstract: Dairy cattle are routinely exposed to a wide range of xenobiotics, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, residues from veterinary drugs, and plant secondary metabolites, through feed, water, and environmental sources. These xenobiotics, being foreign to biological systems, can interfere with the absorption, metabolism, and utilization of essential nutrients, while also compromising immune function, organ health, and overall physiological performance. Chronic or subclinical exposure can reduce feed efficiency, disrupt energy and …

The Future of Camelids in South America: Recent Developments and Prospects
Abstract: Camelids, including llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos, have been central to South American culture, economy, and ecosystems for centuries. Known for their adaptability to harsh Andean climates, these species provide valuable resources, such as luxurious fiber, nutritious meat, and durable leather. In modern times, their importance has grown due to increasing demand for sustainable and ethically sourced products, coupled with their minimal environmental impact and significant contributions to rural livelihoods. …

Demonstration and Evaluation of Improved Chickens under Farmers’ Management Conditions at Godoro Sub-Watershed, Gerese District
Abstract: The study commenced with the objective of demonstration and evaluation of an improved chicken breed's performance under farmers’ management conditions in Bula Kebele, Gerese district of Gamo zone. A total of 21 participant households were selected purposely based on their experience and willingness to construct a chicken house, covering chicken-rearing costs, and recording the required data. Training on chicken husbandry, healthcare, feeds and feeding systems was provided for the participants, …
