TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the digestibility of Guava (Psidium guajava I.) and Jack fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk) leaves, using in saaco (nylon bag) technique and a three-step techniques on microbial in the rumen.

TL;DR: Lycopene has antioxidant, anti-cancer, lipid-lowering and immune-improving effects. It is natural, pollution-free and has no toxic side effects. Lycopene has shown to improve livestock production performance, slaughter performance, immunity, antioxidant capacity, intestinal health, and meat quality.

Abstract: — This experiment was performed with the purpose of investigating effect of additional blend of probiotics Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus acidophilus on plasma fatty acid profiles particularly conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in growing goats fed corn silage, and selected the optimal levels of the probiotics for further study. Twenty-four growing crossbred (Thai native x Anglo-Nubian) goats that weighed (14.2 ± 2.3) kg, aged about 6 months, were purchased and allocated to 4 treatments according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 6 goats in each treatment. The blocks were made by weight into heavy, medium, and light goats and each of the treatments contained two goats from each of the blocks. In the mean time, ruminal average pH unaffected, but the NH 3 -N and also plasma urea nitrogen (p<0.05), total volatile fatty acid (p>0.05) were raised, but propionic proportion (p<0.05) and butyric proportion (p>0.05) were reduced in concurrent with raise of acetic proportion and resultantly C2:C3 ratio (p>0.05). On plasma fatty acid profiles, total saturated fatty acids (p>0.05) was increased, and contrasted with decrease of C15:0 (p<0.01), C16:0 (p>0.05), and C18-C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids (p<0.05 or p<0.01). In addition, the experiment proved that the supplemented probiotics was in force for heightening CLA (p<0.01); for raising desirable fatty acids (p<0.05); for reducing ratio of PUFA: SFA (p>0.05) and for raising ratio of n6:n3 (p<0.05).

TL;DR: The results conclude that either castrated method or ages had no significantly different on monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) except erucic acid (C22:1n9).
