OXALIC ACID IN SUGAR BEET VINE SILAGE AND EFFECTS ON :III - MICROORGANISMS AND SOME RUMEN LIQUER PARAMETERS.

The effect of feeding sugar-beet silage and non-protein-N on rumen and blood metabolites in bulls.

I . The purpose of the experiments was to determine, certain properties of the metabolism of nitrogen compounds and carbohydrates in the rumen and tissues of growing bulls which were given either a diet containing sugar-beet silage, a urea-mineral preparation and hay or a control diet with maize silage, ground barley and hay. Daily rations were given in two equal portions twice daily at 0 7 m h...

The fermentation of sugar-beet pulp silage.

Rumen and blood variables in steers fed grass silage or whole-crop fodder beet silage

The objectives of this study were (i) to examine the effects on rumen and blood variables when grass silage (GS) was replaced with whole crop fodder beet silage (FBS) in the diet of beef cattle, and (ii) an abrupt change from GS to FBS. Six rumen-fistulated Friesian steers (initial bodyweight (BW) 416 kg, SD 43) were offered GS ad libitum for four weeks. The dry matter (DM) consumed daily by ea...

Running head: Oxalic acid, ruminal fermentation and microbiota Impact of oxalic acid on rumen function and bacterial community in sheep

Oxalic acid (OA) is a secondary compound occurring in a wide range of plants consumed by ruminants, especially in saline lands or in arid and semi-arid regions. However, its impact on the rumen microbial community and its changes over time, as well as the potential consequences on ruminal function remains unknown. To examine this impact, five ewes fitted with a ruminal cannula and fed low quali...

Effects of pressed beet pulp silage inclusion in maize-based rations on performance of high-yielding dairy cows and parameters of rumen fermentation.

Beet pulp contains high amounts of pectins that can reduce the risk of rumen disorders compared to using feedstuffs high in starch. The objective was to study the effects of inclusion of ensiled pressed beet pulp in total mixed rations (TMR) for high-yielding dairy cows. Two TMR containing no or about 20% (on dry matter (DM) basis) beet pulp silage were used. The beet pulp silage mainly replace...
