In situ degradabilities were determined for some commonly used grains and by-product feeds in dairy cattle rations. Ingredients evaluated were barley, shelled corn, soybean meal, brewers dried grains, corn gluten feed, distillers dried grains, soybean hulls, and wheat middlings. In situ studies were conducted in three rumen-fistulated Holstein cows. Cows were fed a total mixed Ž . rations conta...

The disappearance of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), and amino acids (AA) in steers after rumen incubation and intestinal passage of alfalfa hay, barley hay, corn silage, barley grain, corn grain, wheat bran, meat meal, fish meal, cottonseed meal, and soybean meal were measured in 3 steers using a mobile nylon bag technique. Ruminal degradation of individual AA differed between feedstuffs....

Apparent nutrient digestibilities of yellow-dent corn, low-tannin sorghum, hard red winter wheat, barley, oat groats and wheat middlings were determined near the end of the small intestine and over the total digestive tract of growing pigs. Gross energy digestibilities for corn, sorghum and oat groats were similar; wheat had a slightly lower (P less than .05) digestibility, followed by barley (...

To investigate the effects of synchronizing nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) and protein degradation on intake and rumen microbial fermentation, four ruminally fistulated Holstein heifers (BW = 132.3 +/- 1.61 kg) fed high-concentrate diets were assigned to a 4 x 4 Latin square design with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments studied in vivo and in vitro with a dual-flow continuous cultur...

Four rumen fistulated Holstein calves (BW 132.3 ± 1.61 kg) fed high concentrate diets (10 to 90, forage to concentrate ratio) were assigned to a 4 x 4 Latin square design to investigate the effects of nonstructural carbohydrate (barley or corn) and protein (soybean meal or sunflower meal) sources on ruminal fermentation and animal performance. The following 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatm...

introduction: celiac disease (cd) is a hereditary disorder of the immune system which damages the mucosa of the small intestine caused by gluten consumption(even very small amounts). villous atrophy, leads to malabsorption, which is due to decreased absorption levels. the first bowel symptoms are seen during the first 2 years of life. currently, the only treatment is to compliance with a gluten...
