A research team consisting of Dr. Saad Ali Mohammed Hussein, faculty member at the College of Agriculture, University of Kirkuk, Department of Animal Production, in collaboration with researchers from Clemson University (USA), published a scientific paper in the journal Animals, issued by the global publishing house MDPI. The journal is ranked Q1 in both Scopus and Clarivate, with a CiteScore of 5.2 and an Impact Factor of 2.7.
The researcher explained that the study addressed:
“Simulating Precision Feeding of High-Concentrate Diets with High-Fat Inclusion and Different Plant-Based Saturated, Unsaturated, and Animal Fat Sources in Continuous Culture Fermenters.”
He added that the study aimed to simulate the Precision Feeding System, in which feed is provided to ruminants in an isoenergetic and isonitrogenous manner, with the goal of reducing dry matter intake (DMI) through the addition of different sources of saturated and unsaturated fats. This was tested using the rumen fermentation device known as Continuous Culture.
