| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | Phytoestrogens were first observed and described in the 1940s in Western Australia, where they were associated with sheep grazing on subterranean clover (). | 3 | Kraus Vladimír (2026) | Exploring the Health Effects of Phytoestrogens |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | Consequently, it seems advantageous to use phytoestrogens as hormone replacement therapy to compensate for reduced endogenous estradiol levels [,]. | 3 | Kraus Vladimír (2026) | Exploring the Health Effects of Phytoestrogens |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | However, interest in phytoestrogens has increased since their discovery, and other compounds with estrogenic or non-estrogenic properties have been identified.summarizes the current information and expanding classification, listing other important classes of phytoestrogens, including specific examples and their food sources. | 3 | Kraus Vladimír (2026) | Exploring the Health Effects of Phytoestrogens |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | 1 2 3 4 5 Trifolium subterraneum Phytoestrogens (xenoestrogens, dietary estrogens, and estrogen-like compounds) are non-steroidal compounds, secondary plant metabolites with a polyphenolic structure. | 3 | Kraus Vladimír (2026) | Exploring the Health Effects of Phytoestrogens |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | For example,reported that inclusion of amaranth grain in monogastric diets such as poultry resulted in reduced cholesterol in eggs, and increased digestibility without adverse health effects.revealed that supplementing broiler chicken diets with amaranth grain as a substitute for meat and bone meal had no adverse effects on growth and improved blood glucose levels. | 3 | Katiyatiya Chenaimoyo Lufutuko Faith (2026) | Amaranth as a sustainable feed resource for livestock |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | In ruminants, amaranth grain inclusion increased milk production in goats (), while amaranth silage improved carcass weight in lambs (), and had neutral effects on milk composition (). | 3 | Katiyatiya Chenaimoyo Lufutuko Faith (2026) | Amaranth as a sustainable feed resource for livestock |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | Chisoro & Nkukwana, 2022 Gebeş et al., 2024 Kazemi et al., 2023 Manyelo et al., 2020a b 2022a b Despite its ability to thrive in adverse conditions, amaranth’s utilization is limited by antinutritional factors (e.g., trypsin, inhibitors and tannins) often found in high concentrations in the grains, which require processing for safe inclusion in animal diets (;). | 3 | Katiyatiya Chenaimoyo Lufutuko Faith (2026) | Amaranth as a sustainable feed resource for livestock |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | Joseph et al., 2025 Latino et al., 2020 Abay et al., 2025 Balehegn et al., 2021 Berhe et al., 2024 Herrero et al., 2023 Joseph et al., 2025 Mushunje et al., 2024 Berhe et al., 2024 Katiyatiya et al., 2022 Africa’s population is expected to double by 2050, with 80 % of this growth occurring in urban areas (;). | 3 | Katiyatiya Chenaimoyo Lufutuko Faith (2026) | Amaranth as a sustainable feed resource for livestock |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | Moreover, Spirulina supplementation significantly (P < 0.0001) improved all measured rumen parameters and digestibility indices relative to non-supplemented groups. | 4 | Meteab MI (2026) | Digestibility, rumen fermentation, and blood metabolites of Barki rams fed Panicum maximum cv. Mombasa hay as a substitute for alfalfa hay, with or without spirulina. |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | Spirulina supplementation also significantly increased these blood parameters compared with the unsupplemented groups. | 4 | Meteab MI (2026) | Digestibility, rumen fermentation, and blood metabolites of Barki rams fed Panicum maximum cv. Mombasa hay as a substitute for alfalfa hay, with or without spirulina. |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | In conclusion, partial replacement of alfalfa hay with Panicum maximum hay (25%), combined with Spirulina supplementation, can enhance rumen fermentation, nutrient utilization, and metabolic profiles in Barki rams, suggesting a promising strategy for improving productivity under forage-limited conditions. | 4 | Meteab MI (2026) | Digestibility, rumen fermentation, and blood metabolites of Barki rams fed Panicum maximum cv. Mombasa hay as a substitute for alfalfa hay, with or without spirulina. |
| Alfalfa Cholesterol Meta-Analysis | There is a growing interest in alternative feed sources for sheep, especially under desert conditions. | 4 | Meteab MI (2026) | Digestibility, rumen fermentation, and blood metabolites of Barki rams fed Panicum maximum cv. Mombasa hay as a substitute for alfalfa hay, with or without spirulina. |
