This study was conducted to examine effects of ensiling, toasting or ensiling plus in partial-crop field peas and faba beans harvested each with 375 g dry matter/kg (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt und Chemische Industrie (BBCH) scale 79 81, respectively) on gas production post-ruminal crude protein (PRCP) concentration by vitro incubation ruminal fluid batch-cultures. The silages ma...

ABSTRACT: This study showed the effect of feed restriction on performance, nitrogen balance (NB), microbial protein synthesis, carcass traits and meat cut thirty-two Sindhi non-castrated males (296 ± 21.3 kg initial BW 21 1.5 months old). All bulls were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments (feed levels) (0, 15, 30, 45% total dry matter -DM) data subjected to analys...

Nitrogen (N) balance studies were conducted with male growing broiler chickens to reevaluate the lysine (Lys) requirement of a modern broiler strain (Ross 308), making use of eight diets with graded crude protein (CP) supply (6% 34% CP as-fed). Wheat, soy protein concentrate, wheat gluten, fishmeal and crystalline amino acids (AAs) were the protein sources in the experimental diets with Lys as ...

The nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (PE) was evaluated by in situ and in vitro techniques. Chemical analysis indicated that PE was high in crude protein (11.30%) and low in neutral detergent fiber (26.20%). Total phenols, total tannins, condensed tannins and hydrolysable tannins contents in PE were 8.29%, 4.48%, 0.49% and 3.79%, respectively. Ruminal dry matter and crude ...

to evaluate the yield and quality of barley (hordeum vulgare)–vetch (vicia desycarpa) intercropping, a series of experiments were conducted at the experimental field of the college of agriculture, university of tehran, in karaj (iran) from 2003 to 2005. the ex-periments were arranged in a randomized complete block with a split plot design and four replications. three levels (0, 45 and 90 kg n h...

A total of 16 crossbred (Large White × Landrace) castrated male pigs averaging 30.0 ± 2.5 kg were used in two trials (2 × 8 pigs) to determine apparent nutrient digestibility. The control group received feed mixture consisting of wheat and barley. In the experimental group, 3% proportion of wheat was replaced by sodium humate. The results of nutrient digestibility showed significantly lower (P ...

1. Nitrogen balance (NB) was determined in entire male pigs weighing 75.6 (SE 0.56) kg and given 1.43 MJ metabolizable energy (ME)/kg live weight (LW)0.75 per d of semi-synthetic liquid diets which varied in crude protein (N x 6.38):ME from 2.5 to 14.5 g/MJ. Maximum NB of 20.8 g/d was reached with diets containing at least 6.2 g protein/MJ ME. 2. The relation between energy intake and NB was th...

Using nylon bag techniques, Cornell net carbohydrates and protein systems (CNCPS), scanning electron microscopy, the authors examined digestibility structure of Vicia ervilia (ervil, bitter vetch) after steam flaking, roasting, microwave processing. During in situ technique, samples were incubated at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 h. For description ruminal DM (dry matter) CP (crude protein)...
