Thirty-two Angus bulls [initial body weight (BW) = 623 ± 22.6 kg and aged 21 ± 0.5 months] were used in a finishing trial. The experiment was a completely randomized block design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments: 2 FA diets [High SFA diet (HSFA) vs. High UFA diet (HUFA)] combined with 2 levels of lysophospholipids supplementation [0 vs. 0.075%, dry matter (DM) basis].

In this section, we use PlasEval to evaluate four plasmid binning tools on a set of 53 samples from a collection of Escherichia coli genomes sequenced using both short and long reads by Sanderson et al [26]. The isolates in this analysis belong to a collection of E. coli strains collected from Saskatchewan broiler farms by Sanderson et al [26].

Thirty-two male Saanen goats with an average age of 3 months and an initial body weight (BW) of 20.5 ± 0.82 kg were used in the study. The experiment was a completely randomized block design with a 2 × 2 factorial treatment arrangement: 2 RPF supplementation (0 vs. 30 g/d) were combined with 2 CB supplementation (0 vs. 1.0 g/d). The goats were blocked by BW and allocated into 8 blocks of 4 goats. Within each block, goats were randomly assigned to one of the 4 treatments.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of feeding increasing dietary concentrations of ergot alkaloids from cereal grains (EA; 0, 0.75, 1.5, 3.0 mg/kg of dietary DM) to feedlot cattle over backgrounding (BG) and finishing (FS) phases on health, welfare, and growth performance.
