Abstract Purpose Sediment organic matter (SOM) influences settling and thus the rheological behavior of suspended particles by enhancing flocculation or reducing surface charges forming organo-mineral complexes that facilitate particle–particle interactions in consolidating sediments. It was, therefore, assumed microbial degradation SOM its spatio-temporal variability would affect sediment prop...

the aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of different dry matter content and addition of silage inoculant on the ruminal protein degradability. alfalfa herbage was collected from two cuts and the fresh matter was sampled two times during each cut (with different dry matter content). during the preparation of experimental micro-silages, the chopped forage was treated with a microbia...

The aim of this paper was to study of the effect of fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum) and asparagus root (Asparagus officinalis) on in vitro digestibility and kinetics of gas production of alfalfa hay. Fenugreek seed (FS) and asparagus root (AR) were added at different levels (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of DM). Total phenolic components of alfalfa hay (AH), fenugreek seed (FS) and asparagus ...

The nutritive values of non- processed and processed grape pomace with Neurospora sitophila were evaluated. The chemical compositions and physical characteristics of samples were evaluated by laboratory analysis. An in vitro digestibility experiment was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and also digestible organic matter in dry matter (DOMD) to estimate ...

Ruminant feed evaluation systems use constant minimum requirements of rumen-degradable protein (RDP) and often relate this to apparently degradable organic matter (OM). However, studies with tropical forages indicate that RDP: apparently degraded OM might not be constant across high-fiber diets. This was tested with semi-continuous ruminal cultures (Rusitec) using dried contrasting low-protein ...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional value and in situ degradation kinetics of eight high protein forage crops: alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), forage oat (Avena sativa L.), mixed pasture, and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) pasture in early vegetative stages, two forage lupins (Lupinus albus L.) in early bloom stages, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and kale (Brassica nap...

. This study was performed to investigate the effect of replacing alfalfa hay by L. leucocephala leaves in proportions 25, 50 and 100% on vitro gas production (GP) parameter, digestibility situ degradability buffalo. Results showed that volume GP at 2 12 hours after incubation significantly affected with leaves. In organic matter (OMD) differed between treatment as it declined increasing substi...

Ensiled rice straw using, water (RSW), molasses plus urea, and whey (RWh) were implied to investigate the ensiling processing on palatability nutritional value of compared untreated (URS). Using resulted in a significant (P < .05) progress fermentation coefficient, Flieg Score others. Protein water-soluble carbohydrates content increased RWh RMU. Gas cumulative with ERS incubation URS. In-vitro...
