COMPARISON OF SILAGES MADE FROM GRASS, GRASS-LEGUME AND CORN FED TO STEERS WITH AND WITHOUT DIETHYLSTILBESTROL

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

Development of a novel system to estimate protein degradability in legume and grass silages.

Five trials were conducted to develop a system to estimate rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) of legume and grass silages using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. In situ procedures were the reference method used to determine silage RUP content. Trials 1, 2, and 3 were devoted to improving in situ procedures. In trial 1, alfalfa silage with and without heat treatment was incubated ruminally ...

Fat and protein metabolism in growing steers fed either grass silage or dried grass.

Cattle fed grass silage diets have been reported to have high carcass fat:protein ratios. The effect of grass silage and dried grass diets, fed at different levels of intake to ensure a range of equivalent metabolisable energy intakes (MEI) from 1 .1 x metabolisable energy requirement for maintenance to ad libitum, on fat and protein metabolism in twenty-four Hereford x Friesian steers was inve...

Lactic Acid Bacteria in Tropical Grass Silages

Effects of corn particle size and source on performance of lactating cows fed direct-cut grass-legume forage.

We conducted two experiments to evaluate the effects of corn supplementation, source of corn, and corn particle size on performance and nutrient utilization of lactating dairy cows. In experiment 1, treatments were 1) direct-cut grass-legume forage without supplement, 2) direct-cut forage plus 10 kg DM of ground dry shelled corn-based concentrate, and 3) direct-cut forage plus 10 kg DM of coars...
