Estimation of Forage Nutritive Value from In Vitro Cellulose Digestion

Potential Nutritive Value of Selected Leguminous Browse Forage Species from Nigeria Using in vitro Gas Production Technique

The chemical composition and in vitro gas production of some leguminous browse species were evaluated. Crude protein (CP) content was highest (P

Use of an in vitro Rumen Gas Production Technique to Evaluate the Nutritive Value of Five Forage to Concentrate Ratios

This study presents the chemical composition and in vitro fermentation of five diets with different forage (alfalfa) to concentrate (faba bean) (F:C) ratios, F0:C100, F25:C75, F50:C50, F75:C25, F100:C0 on a dry matter (DM) basis. Results indicate that the chemical composition in term of organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fi...

evaluation of nutritive value, phenolic compounds and in vitro digestion charactristics of barberry (berberis vulgaris) foliage

introduction this study was intended to evaluate the nutritional value, phenolic compounds and digestibility coefficients of barberry leaves. berberis vulgaris is one of the major crops in the province. the province has more than 70 percent and 95 percent of the total area under cultivation of barberry. waste and foliage of barberry harvest traditionally used to feed livestock tannin concentrat...

Defining Forage Quality Subtitle: Nutritive Value of Southern Forages

Irrigated Birdsfoot Trefoil Variety Trial: Forage Nutritive Value

Birdsfoot trefoil is a high-quality forage recommended for irrigated perennial pastures, either in mixtures with grasses or in pure stands. In this bulletin we report on the forage nutritive value of pure stands of birdsfoot trefoil harvested at 6week intervals, and compare it to alfalfa harvested at the same intervals. We found that the digestibility of the two forages was similar, but that al...
