Ruminant nutrition symposium: novel microbial solutions to optimize production efficiency in beef and dairy systems.
Review in Journal of animal science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The livestock industry is in search of sustainable technologies that enhance the profitability and sustainability of food animal production. Among these technologies, microbial solutions include living bacteria that may support soil, plant, and animal health. Bacterial inoculants have been the most used additives to modulate whole-plant corn silage fermentation, including homo- and heterofermentative bacteria. Bacterial inoculants can improve fermentation characteristics of grass silage, whereas the wide variation in chemical composition and management practices across cool- and warm-season grasses makes the outcome of inoculation less predictable. Tailored recommendations for bacterial inoculant species and strains, based on species and management practices, are necessary to increase the predictability of silage inoculation, including whole-plant corn and grass silage. Microbial solutions are also used as feed additives for beef and dairy cattle, including Bacillus-based direct-fed microbials (DFM). Recent advancements in Bacillus-based DFM supplementation have shown promise for enhancing cow-calf productivity through improved gut health, immune function, and nutrient metabolism. Incorporating Bacillus-based DFM into stocker and feedlot receiving programs can improve feed intake and digestibility, health, and productivity of high-risk cattle. Bacillus-based DFM have also been used in feedlot diets to address public concerns with antimicrobial resistance but also to improve cattle performance and reduce the incidence of diseases. Multispecies bacterial-based DFM are promising alternatives to counteract the potentially adverse effects of Salmonella, as these DFM supported the integrity of the intestinal epithelial cells under in vitro settings. In dairy cattle, most DFM-related research in mature cows has targeted improvements in rumen fermentation and enterocyte health. In general, improvements in milk production due to supplementation of bacteria-based DFM seem to be more consistent than those obtained with yeast-based DFM. Collectively, microbial solutions have the potential to optimize silage quality, enhance feed intake and digestibility by ruminants, and support cattle health and performance while fostering sustainable practices in beef and dairy production systems.
