Description
Jie Yu and co-authors published a 2025 study of dihydromyricetin, a compound from a vine, fed to dairy cows, and what it did to their gut microbes and metabolite profiles. High-yielding cows carry a heavy metabolic load. It wears down their defenses and sets them up for farm diseases. The compound is known to fight oxidative damage and inflammation in the body, but its use in ruminants was little studied.
The team fed the compound to half of fourteen mid-lactation cows for sixty days, at a small share of the diet. Blood tests showed a rise in one antioxidant defense score. Gut microbe readings showed more of the beneficial kinds: fiber digesters and friendly commensals rose. Metabolite readings in feces and blood shifted too, with a set of named compounds on the rise. The team reads the compound as a support for the health of the cows.
