Nutrient assessment of sea buckthorn residues as potential feed ingredients.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of sea buckthorn by-products, including pomace without seeds (SBPW), pomace with seeds (SBPS), and leaves (SBL) as potential livestock feed ingredients. Proximate composition, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and metabolizable energy (ME) were assessed and compared to the daily requirements of livestock, assuming an inclusion rate of 2.5% of dry matter intake in different animal species. SBPW exhibited the highest metabolizable energy (13.7-17 MJ/kg DM across species), exceeding 2.5% of daily requirements in most animal species, suggesting it is a good energy source, whereas SBL contributed the least (8.1-13.6 MJ/kg DM across species). SBL was mineral rich, with notably elevated Fe, Ca, Mg, and Mn concentrations, supporting its use as a mineral supplement, whereas both pomaces contained low mineral levels. SBL and especially SBPS revealed promising amino acid profiles, showing potential as protein source, meeting 2.5% daily amino acid requirements across most categories, especially gilts and pregnant sows. SBPS contained high levels of arginine (31.4 g/kg DM) and lysine (11.3 g/kg DM), while SBL also supplied substantial amounts of essential amino acids (e.g., lysine 10.2 g/kg DM). Sulfur-containing amino acids were limiting in all residues, with methionine especially low (e.g., SBPW 0.9 g/kg DM). SBPW provided insufficient essential amino acids for most categories, suggesting it would have to be combined with protein feeds to achieve a balanced ration. SBPS was rich in polyunsaturated (notably alpha-linolenic: 1.39 g/kg DM) fatty acids, while SBPW contained more monounsaturated and SBL more saturated fats. Both pomaces provided similar linoleic acid (≈2.5 g/kg DM), exceeding pig but not poultry requirements at 2.5% dry matter intake. All residues were rich in vitamin E, particularly SBPW (720 mg/kg DM), and pomaces contained substantial β-carotene (SBPW 258 mg/kg DM, SBPS 151 mg/kg DM), with potential benefits for gestating animals and those experiencing high oxidative stress. Overall, this study provides an initial assessment of sea buckthorn residues as alternative feed resources and offers guidance for their strategic inclusion in animal diets supporting more sustainable, circular feeding systems.
