Long-Term Effects of Feeding High-Lignin Forage to Ruminants: Implications for Productivity, Health, and Sustainability
Abstract: The long-term feeding of high-lignin forage to ruminants can significantly impact various aspects of animal performance, health, and environmental sustainability. Lignin, a complex phenolic compound present in plant cell walls, is indigestible by rumen microbes, leading to reduced fiber digestibility and decreased nutrient utilization. Over time, feeding ruminants with forages high in lignin results in a decline in voluntary dry matter intake (DMI), inefficient energy and protein absorption, and suboptimal …

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 …
