This is a systematic review that compared its effects on goats based on a predetermined PICO model (Population: goats in different physiological phases; Intervention: dietary <i>M. oleifera</i> in the forms of leaf meal, extract, or silage; Comparison: no \n- **PMID 42281769 (2026, Animal nutrition (Zhongguo xu mu shou yi xue hui))** — Dietary fiber supplementation during late gestation affects steroidogenesis, antioxidant capacity, gut microbiota and placental metabolomics of Rongchang sows.. Oxidative stress can impair placental function and sow health. This experiment aimed to explore the impacts of inulin and cellulose as sources of dietary fiber (DF) on reproductive performance, steroidogenesis, antioxidant capacity, placental metabolomics, and fecal microbiota of Rongchang sows from d 85 of gestation to parturition. Sixty sows (parity: 5.07 ± 0.24, backfat thickness: 43.06 ± 0.78 \n- **PMID 42402324 (2026, Experimental cell research)** — Early-life cardiovascular programming by maternal protein restriction: Electrophysiological, structural, and molecular alterations in female rats.. Maternal malnutrition is a major risk factor for adverse health outcomes in offspring, including cardiovascular disorders. According to the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) concept, adverse conditions during critical developmental windows can induce long-lasting physiological adaptations that increase disease susceptibility later in life. Among the experimental models used to in\n- **PMID 41689060 (2026, BMC veterinary research)** — Effects of L-selenomethionine supplementation on nutrient digestibility and metabolism, antioxidant capacity, hormone levels, and fecal microbiota diversity in pregnant Yili mares during mid- to late gestation.. BACKGROUND: L-selenomethionine (L-SeMet), a highly bioavailable organic form of selenium, plays a critical role in maintaining antioxidant homeostasis, regulating reproductive hormone secretion, and improving intestinal microbial ecology. Previous studies have demonstrated that appropriate supplementation with L-SeMet can significantly enhance the production performance and health status of rumina\n- **PMID 42195300 (2026, Life (Basel, Switzerland))** — The Effects of L-Citrulline on the Apparent Digestion and Metabolism of Nutrients, Blood Hormone Levels, Amino Acid Metabolism and the Diversity of Faecal Microbiota in Mares in the Later Stage of Pregnancy.. This study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary L-citrulline supplementation on the health of mares during late gestation. Thirty-two healthy mares in late pregnancy were randomly assigned to four groups: a control group (CON, 0 g/d) and three treatment groups receiving 15, 30, and 45 g/d/head of L-citrulline, respectively. The trial spanned 72 days, including a 12-day adaptation phase and a\n- **PMID 41505418 (2026, PloS one)** — Effects of maternal BMI on early pregnancy endocrine-metabolic function and offspring development: Evidence from a retrospective cohort and animal model.. <h4>Objective</h4>Abnormal body mass index (BMI) has been associated with pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes; however, its clinical significance during early pregnancy remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationships and underlying mechanisms between maternal BMI, reproductive endocrine parameters, and pregnancy outcomes, thereby providing a theoretical basis \n\nSource text: `pdf-raw/evidence/pubmed_feline_pregnant_lactating_diet_2026-07-23.txt` (PubMed/Europe PMC first-hand abstracts, pulled 2026-07-23).\n","sources":[],"tokens_estimated":780,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
