Nutritive Value of Oak Leaves in Sheep

Nutritive Value Assessment of Three Rangeland Species Using Sheep Rumen and Feces Fluid

This study was done to investigate the nutritive value of Festocaovina, Agrostisgiganta and Avena sativa using sheep rumen and feces liquor as sources of micro-organism through gas production method. Rumen and feces liquor were collected from three fistulated sheep. Rangeland species sampling was randomly conducted from different areas of Guilan province. All the collected samples were initiall...

Nutritive Value of Sawdust

The present study was undertaken to observe the chemical composition of different types of sawdust available in the urban and peri-urban areas of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Twenty different types of sawdust from different plants were collected from study areas. Chemical analyses of the samples were carried out in triplicate for moisture, dry matter (DM), metabolizable energy (ME), crude protein (C...

Nutritive Value of Rice

Chemical composition and nutritive value of four varieties of cassava leaves grown in South-Western Nigeria.

The nutritive value of leaves of four varieties of cassava - MS 6, TMS 30555, Idileruwa and TMS 30572 was evaluated based on their chemical composition and in vitro fermentation. Crude protein (CP) contents of cassava leaves ranged from 177 to 240 g/kg dry matter (DM), with TMS 30555 showing the highest CP contents. Neutral detergent fibre (NDFom) and acid detergent fibre (ADFom) contents of ca...

Photosynthesis and Nutritive Value in Leaves of Three Warm-Season Grasses before and after Defoliation

Variation in the nutritive value of forages with maturity has been extensively researched (Buxton and MerForage yields are influenced by plant response to defoliation. We tens, 1995; Sollenberger and Cherney, 1995) and shifts examined the photosynthesis and nutritive value of first (first leaves) in proportions of leaf and stem during maturation of and third (third leaves) fully expanded leaves...
