(Comité editorial Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2016-02-26)
The aim of this study was to understand the benefit of diet mixing for Creole goats grazingnative forage species in the central Monte desert of Argentina and the drivers of preferencein the mixed diet. To achieve this goal, ...
Analysis of the rumen bacterial diversity of goats during shift from forage to concentrate diet.
(Comité editor Journal Anaerobe, 2016-07-12)
High-grain feeding used in the animal production is known to affect the host rumen bacterial community, but our understanding of consequent changes in goats is limited. This study was therefore aimed to evaluate bacterial ...

(Editorial Livestock Science, 2016-08-02)
Using culture-independent molecular approaches, we studied the bacterial population changes in the rumen of goats abruptly converted from alfalfa hay to fresh alfalfa diet. Administration of fresh forage with significantly ...
