This study aims to determine the effect of partial (50% and 75%) complete (100%) replacement barley corn silage with whole plant faba bean on milk production, feed intake efficiency, digestibility, rumen fermentation characteristics high producing cows. A repeated 4 × Latin square (early lactating cows: four cannulated non-cannulated) design was used. The used for treatments were different: con...

Twelve young adult (1.7 +/- 0.1 yr) male cats were used in a replicated 3 x 3 Latin square design to determine the effects of fiber type on nutrient digestibility, fermentative end products, and fecal microbial populations. Three diets containing 4% cellulose, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), or pectin were evaluated. Feces were scored based on the 5-point system: 1 being hard, dry pellets, and 5 ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation at dose levels 0, 1, 3 and 5kGy on chemical composition, starch digestibility, pasting properties cooking two varieties polished rice (Sakha104 basmati). The results showed that highest decreased apparent amylose content, peak viscosity water absorption minimum time; while fat solid loss were slightly increased. Irradiation increases ...

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of 0, 20, 40, or 60% dietary dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on 1) growing lamb performance, carcass characteristics, and tissue minerals, and 2) nutrient digestibility and retention in growing lambs. In Exp. 1, ninety-six lambs were blocked by sex (ewes, n = 48; wethers, n = 48) and BW, housed in 24 pens (4 lambs per pen),...

The objectives of this research were to (1) determine the feed intake, digestibility, and energy utilization (2) estimate net value cassava chips consumed by lactating dairy cows. Four multiparous Holstein–Friesian crossbred cows at 139 ± 33 (mean SD) day in milk assigned according a 4 × Latin square design with four periods. treatments included diet substituted on 0%, 12%, 24%, 36% dry matter ...

Supplementation increased the total dry matter intake by 18.2-36.8 %. Supplements given alone or in combination had no effect on dry matter and organic matter digestibility of the diet. Crude protein digestibility was decreased with molasses supplementation. Crude fiber digestibility was not affected by baker’s yeast supplementation but decreased with other supplements. The digestibility of nit...

BACKGROUND Although soybean meal (SBM) is excellent source of protein in diets for poultry, it is sometimes inaccessible, costly and fluctuates in supply. The SBM can partially be replaced by full-fat SBM, but the meals prepared from raw full-fat soybean contain antinutritional factors. To avoid the risk of antinutritional factors, heat treatment is always advisable, but either excessive or und...

Whereas dietary fibers are well recognized for nutritional management of human health issues, fiber is also known to be one of the dietary factors potentially affecting digestive use of dietary proteins. As a staple food, potato (Solanum tuberosum) may be a significant dietary fiber source. The objective of this study was to examine effects of dietary supplementation of six potato cultivar-geno...
