Description
Muhammad Hammad Zafar and co-authors feed sheep a silage made from vegetable waste and rice straw, in a 2024 trial. Feed for farm animals is in tight supply, so waste crops could fill the gap if they are safe and rich enough. Eight healthy male Hu sheep were split into two groups for 35 days.
One group ate the waste silage and the other ate farm roughage. The silage held less fungal toxin than feared. Sheep on it made more of the fatty acids that feed the gut wall, and their blood showed stronger cell guards and calmer immune marks. Gut microbes shifted too, with more of a group that helps break down plant food. Gene path checks pointed to richer energy use. The authors say the feed could lift health and cut waste at once.
