The in situ dry matter (DM) disappearance of corn silages in two maturity stages (milk grain and half milk line) of known in vivo and in vitro digestibility was determined, with the main purpose of comparing digestibility values with the ruminal disappearance at 24 and 48h of incubation. A secondary goal was the description of their ruminal digestion kinetics, from which the effective degradabi...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of electron beam irradiation at doses of 250 and 500 kGy on the chemical composition and ruminal dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) degradability of wheat straw. Nylon bags of untreated or irradiated wheat straw were suspended in the rumen of three rams for up to 72 h, and resulting data were fitted to non-linear degradation model t...

MAJER, V., VESELÝ, P.: An assessment of diff erences in the ruminal degradability and intestinal digestibility of crude protein in brewer’s grains and maize draff . Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 1, pp. 97–104 The submitted thesis aims to assess the diff erences between the ruminal degradability and intestinal digestibility of crude protein contained in brewer’s grain...

the chemical composition, degradability coefficients (in situ) and ruminal-intestinal disappearance(mobile bag procedure) of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp) were evaluated for olive cake (oc)silages treated (dm basis) with additives as follows: (1) untreated oc, (2) oc + 0.5% urea, (3) oc + 0.4%formic acid, (4) oc + 8% molasses, (5) oc + 0.5% urea + 8% molasses, (6) oc + 0.5% urea + 0.4%...
