Thirty-two weaned male Barbari kids (av. age, 144.65 days; weight, 9.43±0.24 kg), reared under intensive system of feeding, were divided equally into four groups (T1, T2, T3 and T4) to investigate the effect supplementation different levels concentrate mixture on voluntary intake, growth performance, carcass traits quality. All fed with Bengal gram straw ad lib. + green fodder as basal ration s...

This study examined the in ̄uence of dietary variation on the usefulness of urinary spot purine derivatives (PD) collected at three periods (8:00±9:30, 14:00±15:30 and 20:00±21:30 hours) as predictors of intake by cattle. Diets comprised teff (Eragrotis tef) straw, fresh and dried napier grass and fresh napier grass supplemented with 1.5 (as fed) of dry alfalfa hay. Variation in dry matter intak...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the effect of Indigofera leaves feeding ( zollingeriana ) on performance goat livestock using meta-analysis studies. research begins with integrating secondary data from various publications, getting journals and proceedings sources in PubMed, GS. The publications selected must contain information goats. Furthermore, were collected into a database Microsof...

Intake is a multifactorial process that influenced by animal type, environmental factors, and diet characteristics. Sheep, especially, have specific eating habits, with greater selection of ingested feed compared to cattle. Thus, predictive equations for dry matter intake (DMI) must constantly be reviewed. The objective this study was combine different adjustment factors develop one continuous ...

This study was designed to determine the effect of adding a molasses-based liquid feed (LF) supplement to a total mixed ration (TMR) on the feed sorting behavior and production of dairy cows. Twelve lactating Holstein cows (88.2±19.5 DIM) were exposed, in a crossover design with 21-d periods, to each of 2 treatment diets: 1) control TMR and 2) control TMR with 4.1% dietary dry matter LF added. ...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of chitosan on enteric methane (CH4) and total tract nutrient digestibility of beef heifers consuming either a high-concentrate (HC; 85% concentrate) or a low-concentrate (LC; 36% concentrate) diet. Heifers were provided their respective diets ad libitum along with one of three dietary inclusion rates of chitosan: 1) CTRL=0.0% of chitosan in the die...

This work set out to establish the response equations for hepatic blood flows in sheep and the contribution of hepatic arterial flow to hepatic venous blood flow due to changes in intake levels at constant diet composition. The FLORA (FLuxes across Organs and tissues in Ruminant Animals) database was used, and meta-analysis performed. The meta-analysis involved selection of published papers, id...

The aim of the present study was to determine effect Tytanit foliar application, also comparing it with that nitrogen, on content Festulolium braunii fibre fractions, its nutritional value and feed intake. experiment showed forage better quality could be obtained by reducing amounts traditional nitrogen fertilisers, or excluding them using a product containing titanium instead. commenced in spr...

in order to survey of using iodine levels above of nrc recommendations on performance and thyroidal hormones, sixteen holstein dairy cows with the average live body weight and daily milk production of 652 ± 43 and 32.9 ± 2.4 kg respectively, allocated to 4 treatments in a complete randomized design. the dietary treatments were 1) the basal diet (without potassium iodide) as control diet, 2, 3 a...

This study investigates the effects of supplementation basal diet with concentrate and rumen bypass fat on dry matter intake (DMI), growth performance, blood metabolites hormonal changes, feeding cost feedlot water buffaloes. Thirty-six healthy, three- to four-month-old male Murrah crossbred (n = 18) Swamp buffaloes a similar average initial body weight 98.64 ± 1.93 kg were each randomly alloca...
