Accuracy of predicting genomic breeding values for residual feed intake in Angus and Charolais beef cattle.
TL;DR: The results suggested that the genetic relationship of selection candidates with the training population has a greater impact on the accuracy of GEBV using the Illumina Bovine SNP50 Beadchip.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effects of protein hydrolysates (AlcH and FlaH) on gas production, ruminal fermentation characteristics, nutrient disappearance, microbial protein synthesis and microbial community using an artificial rumen system (RUSITEC) fed a high-grain diet.
Feed nutritional value of brewers' spent grain residue resulting from protease aided protein removal.
TL;DR: The substantially increased NDF content and improved in vitro NDF digestibility due to protease hydrolysis suggest that BSG residue can be potentially exploited as a viable fibre source for ruminant feeding.

Impact of hard vs. soft wheat and monensin level on rumen acidosis in feedlot heifers.
TL;DR: Although an increased level of monensin had limited impact on ruminal indicators of acidosis, an increase in propionate would be expected to improve efficiency of feed use by heifers fed wheat-based finishing diets.
