Lannuzel C, Veersma R, Bornhorst G, van Erven G, Kabel M, Gerrits W, et al.
Animal . 2024 Nov; 18(12):101362. PMID: 39591815
Physicochemical properties of fibres can strongly impact gastric processes such as emptying and sieving. This study evaluated the influence of particle size of insoluble fibres, and gelation of soluble fibres...

Amado L, Leal L, Berends H, van Keulen P, Martin-Tereso J, Gerrits W
J Dairy Sci . 2024 Jun; 107(9):6866-6877. PMID: 38825129
Increasing nutrient supply to dairy calves has well known benefits; however, the effects of milk replacer (MR) composition when supplied in higher amounts are not fully understood, particularly in the...

Lannuzel C, Veersma R, Wever N, van Erven G, Kabel M, Gerrits W, et al.
Animal . 2024 May; 18(6):101175. PMID: 38772078
Fibres, as abundant in agricultural by-products, exhibit a large range of physicochemical properties that can influence digestive processes such as digesta mean retention time (MRT), thereby affecting nutrient digestion kinetics....

Gilbert M, Lammers A, Gerrits W
JDS Commun . 2024 Apr; 5(3):220-224. PMID: 38646583
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenges are commonly used in animal studies as a model for infection with gram-negative bacteria and innate immune activation. We used a low-dose LPS challenge for evaluating interindividual...

Amado L, Leal L, Berends H, van Keulen P, Martin-Tereso J, Gerrits W
J Dairy Sci . 2024 Mar; 107(8):5616-5625. PMID: 38490554
Recently reviewed development objectives and feeding practices in young dairy calves require an adaptation of nutrient recommendations set for milk replacer (MR) composition. Nutrient requirements of calves younger than 21...

Gilbert M, Cai Y, Folkerts G, Braber S, Gerrits W
J Dairy Sci . 2023 Dec; 107(5):2900-2915. PMID: 38101737
Our objective was to determine the effects of nondigestible oligosaccharides (NDO) on lung health and performance. Three hundred male Holstein-Friesian calves aged 18.0 ± 3.6 d received 1 of 6...

Lammers-Jannink K, Pellikaan W, de Vries S, Stigter E, Gerrits W
Animal . 2023 Nov; 17(12):101026. PMID: 38035658
Undigested proteins that become available for the microbiota in the hindgut can be used as building blocks for bacterial cells, or can enter various catabolic pathways. Degradation via protein fermentation...

Schop M, Nguyen-Ba H, Jansman A, de Vries S, Ellis J, Bannink A, et al.
Animal . 2023 Nov; 17 Suppl 5:101025. PMID: 38016827
Current feed formulation and evaluation practices rely on static values for the nutritional value of feed ingredients and assume additivity. Hereby, the complex interplay among nutrients in the diet and...

de Vries S, Beukers-van Laar H, Garcia Ruiz A, Gerrits W
Animal . 2023 Nov; 17(11):101010. PMID: 37939597
Fractionation of digesta, as occurs during gastrointestinal transit in chickens, complicates accurate measurements of ileal digestibility using tracers. Dual-tracer methods using separate tracers for solid and fluid digesta phases may...

van Gastelen S, Dijkstra J, Gerrits W, Gilbert M, Bannink A
Animal . 2023 Sep; 17(10):100974. PMID: 37742498
It has previously been shown that fermentation may contribute substantially to small intestinal carbohydrate disappearance. The fact that the energetic efficiency of starch fermentation is considerably less than that of...
