Dietary supplementation with direct-fed microbials may improve cattle performance through rumen microbiome modulation; however, responses are inconsistent and may depend on host feed efficiency phenotype. This study evaluated the effects of a Bacillus-based direct-fed microbial (DFM) on growth performance and the rum...

Direct-fed microbials (DFM) have been used to improve livestock production efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Spore-forming bacteria such as Bacillus spp. present handling and processing advantages for use as a DFM; however, more information is needed about their effects in beef cattle. The objective of this s...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of 14-day post-weaning supplementation of a multi-species direct-fed microbial (DFM) blend on growth performance and circulating immune cell profiles of newly weaned beef steers over a 112-d backgrounding period. Forty newly weaned Angus crossbred beef steers (3...

This study evaluated the effects of dried seaweed meal (DSM), micro-fused essential oil (MEO), and Lactobacillus reuteri (LR) on rumen microbiota and growth performance of crossbred sheep in a 35-d feeding trial. Thirty-six Katahdin sheep (BW = 21.11 ± 0.20 kg) were randomly assigned (n = 9/group) to: control basal d...

The feedlot receiving period is a critical phase in beef cattle production characterized by nutritional, environmental, and immunological stressors that can impair growth performance and metabolic homeostasis. Microbial additives containing a blend of probiotics and prebiotics are increasingly used as non-antibiotic...

This study investigated the effects of dried Ascophyllum seaweed supplementation on growth performance and plasma metabolomics in sheep. Eighteen crossbred Katahdin ewes of approximately (average BW = 25 ± 0.73 kg) were randomly assigned to either an unsupplemented basal diet (CON; n = 9) or a basal diet supplemented...
