The native forage, false Rhodes grass [Leptochloa crinita (Lag.) P.M. Peterson and N.W. Snow], represents an important component of the arid semi-arid rangelands Americas, due to its large area distribution tolerance drought cattle grazing. Precise information on nutritive value factors that influence this trait is relevant for effective utilization as a forage in regions world. Here, we charac...

the present experiment was conducted to determine metabolizable energy of pomegranate peel and pulp by adult cockerels. the pomegranate peel and pulp samples were gathered from three industries. this study had two experiments. each experiment was done in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicate (1 cockerel each). the cockerels fed conventional addition method (cam). the ...

Abstract The objectives were to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable (ME) concentrations in black solider fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) larvae fed pigs develop prediction equations for BSF larvae. On a dry matter (DM) basis, 4 sources of defatted larva meal contained 4,402 5,173 kcal/kg gross (GE), 46.5 62.0% crude protein (CP), 9.0 14.3% ether extract (EE), 13.7 25.3% ash sour...

in this research, chemical composition, gas production characteristics, effective degradability and nutritive value index (nvi) of dm and cp by in situ method of treated walnut hull by nurospora sitophila were studied. three fistulated kermani ram were used for determination of walnut hull degradability. data were analysed using completely randomize design. by processing walnut hull with neuros...

Amaranth ( sp.) is a C plant adapted to poor soils and regions with limited rainfall and high temperatures. The plant is characterized by a yield of up to 85 t/ha, CP concentration of up to 28.5% of DM, and DM digestibility of 59 to 79%, which may vary depending on the species and variety. The potential of this plant as a forage source for ruminants has not been completely considered. This stud...

Nineteen tanniferous browse plants were collected from South Africa to investigate their digestibility, gas production (GP) characteristics and methane production. Fresh samples were collected, dried in forced oven, and ground and analyzed for nutrient composition. In vitro GP and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) were determined using rumen fluid collected, strained and anaerobical...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of electron beam (eb) and gamma ray (gr) radiations at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy on ruminal degradation kinetics of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp),andin vitro digestibility of canola meal (cm). the nylon bag technique and in vitro two step method were used for this aim. gr decreased ruminal degradability of dm (p<0.05), but eb had no ...
