Rumen Fermentation, Blood Metabolites, and Performance of Sheep Fed Tropical Browse Plants

Investigation of rumen fermentation parameters and some blood metabolites of dromedary camels fed with C3 and C4 forages

The aim of this experiment was to investigate rumen fermentation and some blood parameters of dromedary camels fed with C3 and C4 forage. Four fistulated dromedary adult camels were fed with diets as a changeover design, 30 days for each period. The diets included alfalfa hay + wheat straw (C3 forage) and atriplex+ suaeda + seidlitzia (C4 forage). At ...

Performance, growth status, rumen fermentation and some blood metabolites in blood of Holstein bull calves fed starch or fermented fiber based diets

Starch (SS) and fermented fiber (FFS), as energy sources were included in Holstein bull calf diets to evaluate their growth performance, rumen fermentation pattern and concentration of insulin and selected blood metabolites. Fourteen Holstein bull calves (BW=94.5±2.1 kg; age 87±9 d) were allocated to treatments (n=7 calves per treatment) and the study lasted 10 weeks. The diets were based on ba...

Effects of Fish Oil, Safflower Oil and Monensin Supplementation on Performance, Rumen Fermentation Parameters and Plasma Metabolites in Chall Sheep

Effect of Propionibacteria Supplementation to Sheep Diets on Rumen Fermentation, Nutrients Digestibility and Blood Metabolites

Background: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of supplementing ruminant ration with propionibacterium P169 by using 3X3 Latin square Rahmani rams on feed intake, nutrients digestibility, rumen fermentation, blood plasma metabolites. Methods: Rams were divided into three groups with three successive experimental periods. Each period consisted of 21 days. Animals were fed on: rati...

Effects of Sodium Bentonite on Blood Parameters, Feed Digestibility and Rumen Fermentation Parameters of Male Balouchi Sheep Fed Diet Contaminated by Diazinon, an Organophosphate Pesticide

The remnants of pesticides in livestock feeds have been increased by excessive using of these pesticides so as to meet extreme demands for more feeds. Finding a new strategy for reducing pesticides negative effects is absolutely necessary. Therefore, evaluation of the effects of sodium bentonite on blood parameters, feed digestibility and rumen fermentation parameters in sheep fed diets contami...
