Ruminal and Postruminal Starch Digestion by Cattle
Grains are fed to livestock primarily to supply energy, and most of the digestible energy in cereal grains comes from starch. To maximize starch digestion by livestock, corn and sorghum grain must be processed. For nonruminants, starch from finely ground grain is fully digested, but for ruminants fed high concentrate diets, finely ground grain often causes metabolic diseases. Hence, rather than...
متن کاملModels based on variable fractional digestion rates to describe ruminal in situ digestion.
Using a first-order model to describe ruminal in situ digestion implies that the rate of digestion is affected only by the quantity of potentially digestible substrate remaining. Other factors, like the microbial efficacy for digesting substrate, are assumed to be constant. However, microbes are not only the cause but also the result of digestion, being one of the digestion end-products. Two si...
متن کاملComparison of ruminal and post-ruminal digestion of a concentrate feed in the young calf.
Pre-ruminant calves were pair-fed a concentrate feed in either liquid form (LC) from a nipple bottle or in dry form (DC). We then studied the effects of these two forms of feed on body weight gain, feed utilization, digestibility, digestive enzyme secretion and volatile fatty acids in the rumen liquor. The live weight gain of calves receiving the liquid concentrate was depressed by 34 p. 100. T...
متن کاملA model to analyze ergonomics working conditions.
An ergonomics and safety model to assess and evaluate the most critical industrial improvement areas in a developing nation. This study was initiated and supported by a Fortune 500 Corporation interested in improving its global operations in developing nations. This initiative was also fully supported by an emerging nation that was concerned with its ergonomics and safety problems. The model wa...
متن کاملDigestion of Alfalfa Hay Using Washed Ruminal Bacteria
A culture system for digesting forages utilizing washed ruminal bacteria was examined. Cultures inoculated with washed bacterial suspensions had similar cellulolytic populations but lower methane production rates than did cultures inoculated with rumen fluid. Subsequent experiments utilized washed cell suspensions. Urea supplementation (8 mM) increased total bacterial and cellulolytic populatio...
