Silage for Animal Feed

Evaluation of the Nutritional Value of Ammoniated Wheat Straw by Anhydrous Ammonia in Fattening Calves Feeding

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Processing of agricultural by-products for animal feed can upgrade the supply of animal feed without increasing the current production and only by improving productivity via enhancing energy efficiency and maintaining it in the food supply chain, and at the same time, diminish the concerns of waste management, food security, resource constraints, a...

Mixed silage of Elodea and wheat straw as a substrate for energy production in anaerobic digestion plants

Background: Waterweeds (Elodea nuttallii and Elodea canadensis) are invasive neophytes, which have been proliferating at a phenomenal rate during the last decades in German waterways. In case of overgrowth, the strong covering of vegetation can cause problems in hydroelectric power plants and leads to limitations in ship and boat traffic as well as in use for bathing and fishing activities. Aft...

Effects of Replacing Alfalfa Hay and Wheat Straw by Pistachio by-Product Silage and Date Waste on the Performance and Blood Parameters of Fattening Lambs

In this trial effects of feeding pistachio by-product silage with date waste (PBSD) on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and blood parameters of lambs were studied. Ensiling of pistachio by-products (PBP) with date waste increased dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME), but decreased the percentages of crude protein (CP), total tannins and phenolic compounds (P
