Key Points

Lactating dairy cows showed improved clinical parameters when treated with mesquite alkaloid and monensin, indicating potential better health outcomes.
The analysis revealed significant changes in metabolic parameters, particularly in feed efficiency and rumen function, suggesting enhanced nutrient absorption.
Observational assessment of rumen microbiome showed a notable shift in microbial populations associated with the dietary interventions, indicating shifts in microbial diversity.
Findings imply that using mesquite alkaloid and monensin in dairy diets could enhance overall health, though further work is needed to confirm long-term benefits.
