Slow-Release Nutrients in Ruminant Nutrition:Optimizing Efficiency for Sustainable Livestock Production
Abstract: The use of slow-release nutrients in ruminant nutrition has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance efficiency and promote sustainability in livestock production systems. Unlike conventional nutrient sources that are rapidly degraded in the rumen, slow-release formulations provide a controlled, steady release of essential nutrients, such as nitrogen, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. This steady supply supports optimal rumen microbial activity, improves nutrient utilization, and minimizes metabolic disturbances, leading to …

Spermmediated gene transfer revisited: optimizing delivery, integration, and germline transmissionin large animal models
Abstract: Spermmediated gene transfer (SMGT) exploits the natural role of spermatozoa as DNA vectors to deliver exogenous genetic material to oocytes, potentially enabling economical production of transgenic large animals without complex embryo micromanipulation (1). Early proofofconcept studies established that mammalian sperm can bind, internalize, and protect exogenous DNA, leading to integration, expression, and germline transmission in various species, including pigs (24). Subsequent mechanistic work has challenged the traditional view of sperm …
