중국 연구진은 계절적 사료 부족으로 생산에 어려움을 겪는 춥고 건조한 지역에서 포도당 기반 사료 보충제가 양의 성장과 육질을 개선할 수 있다고 밝혔다. 중국과학원 산하 서북생태환경자원연구원 연구팀은 반추위 보호 포도당(RPG)을 양의 식단에 첨가했을 때 육질의 핵심 지표인 근내 지방이 증가하고 성장이 개선된다는 사실을 발견했다.
가혹한 기후 조건에서는 긴 건기 동안 목초지의 질이 저하되어 단백질 함량이 감소하고 고품질 양고기 생산에 제한이 생긴다. 이번 연구에 따르면 RPG 보충제는 고기 색상을 개선하고 근육 대사가 지방을 더 많이 축적하는 방향으로 전환되도록 돕는 것으로 나타났다.
해당 연구의 교신 저자인 양 구오는 이러한 접근 방식이 영양소 흡수 방식을 개선하여 표적 영양 공급을 가능하게 함으로써, 영양소 손실을 줄이고 사료 효율을 높인다고 설명했다.
이번 연구는 건조 지역 양 사육의 난제를 해결하며 육질과 생산 효율을 높일 수 있는 잠재적인 방안을 제시하고 있다.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University report that some gut bacteria can make unusually inflammatory forms of glycogen and that this microbial glycogen can trigger immune activity linked to brain inflammation in models of disease tied to the C9orf72 mutation. In patient stool samples, the team found these glycogen forms more often in ALS and C9orf72-related frontotemporal dementia than in healthy controls, and enzymatically breaking down glycogen in the gut improved outcomes in mice.
Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh has inaugurated a modern salt and fodder production factory in Afar region's Zone 1, Assayita woreda. The facility, built on 2,540 hectares, utilizes Awash River water. It creates 1,000 jobs and supports livestock development.

The Gambela region's agriculture bureau has given special attention to irrigated agricultural products that bolster food security in lowland areas. In the 2018/19 irrigated crop season, over 180,000 hectares were cultivated, yielding more than 5.8 million quintals for distribution, officials stated.
Scientists have developed a hybrid obesity treatment that uses GLP-1 and GIP signals to deliver a metabolic enhancer directly into cells. Early tests in mice showed greater weight loss and better blood sugar control than standard therapies. The approach aims to reduce side effects by limiting the drug's action to targeted areas.

A year-long observational study in Japan suggests that people with type 2 diabetes who tend to overeat in response to tempting food cues such as sight and smell may see greater weight loss—and possibly better blood-sugar improvement—after starting GLP-1 receptor agonists, while those with primarily emotional eating patterns show less consistent links to long-term outcomes.
Researchers at Vrije Universiteit Brussel have found that sourdough fermentation activates enzymes in wheat to break down arabinoxylans, influencing bread texture, digestibility and flavor. The study highlights how acidity drives this process more than microbes. Specific bacteria contribute to distinctive tastes like buttery aromas.
