NUTRITIVE VALUE OF AMMONIATED WHEAT STRAW FOR RUMINANTS

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...

Wheat Middling Versus Alfalfa Hay Supplements for Lactating Beef Cows Wintered on Ammoniated Wheat Straw

Microbial Fuel Cell: New Assay for Nutritive Value Determination of Whole Cottonseed Used in Ruminants Nutrition

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between gas produced through in vitro gas production test and microbial fuel cell (MFC) technique and introduce new assay for evaluation of ruminants feedstuffs. The treatments were 1) control diet (without whole cottonseed, monensin and vitamin E; CD), 2) diet containing 20.00% whole cottonseed (CSD), 3) diet including 20.00% who...

Protein supplementation of ammoniated wheat straw: effect on performance and forage utilization of beef cattle.

We studied the effects of supplement CP concentration on performance and forage use of cattle allowed ad libitum access to ammoniated wheat straw. During two consecutive winters, crossbred beef cows in late gestation (n = 87 in 1990-1991, n = 84 in 1991-1992) were used in a randomized complete block design with three pens per treatment. Cows were stratified by weight, body condition score (BCS)...

determining nutritive value of alfalfa hay and wheat straw from east azerbaijan province

this study was conducted to determine nutritive value of common animal feed sources in east azerbaijan province including second cutting of alfalfa hay ( n=35) and wheat straw (n=26). chemical composition and mineral contents of alfalfa hay and wheat straw were determined according to standard methods. then the average chemical compositions of these samples were compared with those of the gilan...
