The use of mixed ration silage (MRS) provides animals with a diet formulation that meets their nutritional requirements. This study aimed to evaluate the fermentative profile, losses, chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility silages, including babassu by-products as feed alternative for dairy cows. A completely randomized design was used, four treatments five replications, whi...

The aim of the current experiment was to determine potential nutritive value and anti-methanogenic pomegranate peels obtained from 12 different fruits in Turkiye. There are significant variations among peel (PP) samples terms chemical composition, gas production, methane metabolisable energy (ME) organic matter digestibility (OMD). crude ash (CA), ether extract (EE), protein (CP), neutral deter...

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.), or chufa, is a plant that found in nature and cultivated for its edible tubers. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition, nutritive value, vitro digestibility three tiger varieties using gas production technique. These were Sar??eker (yellow), Introduction 1, Balyumru (brown). Rumen fluid obtained from two cannulated Holstein animals...

The present study was taken up to investigate the effect of petroleum ether extract of Tinospora cordifolia (Wild.) Miers, on depression in mice. The extract (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered for 14 successive days to Swiss young albino mice (either sex) and evaluated for antidepressant-like activity using tail suspension test and forced swim test. Petroleum ether extract at all th...

The petroleum ether and chloroform fractions of ethanol extract of leaf and stem from the plant Passiflora edulis (Fam: Passifloraceae) was subjected to antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxic activity. All the fractions showed potent antioxidant activity, of which the chloroform and petroleum ether fraction of stem demonstrated the strongest antioxidant activity with the IC50 value of 51.28 μ...

The discovery in this laboratory by Lynch and French (1) that A3-carotene partially restores the photochemical activity lost by petroleum ether extraction of chloroplasts suggests that this pigment is ain active component of the photosynthetic mechanism. This observation prompted the present inquiry to determine whether ,8-carotene is specific for such reactivation or whether other fat soluble ...

OBJECTIVE This study was to examine in vivo digestibility, nitrogen balance and ruminal fermentation of tamarind (Tamarind indica) kernel powder extract residue (TKPER) compared to soybean products and by-products in wethers. METHODS Four wethers with initial body weight (BW) of 51.6±5.5 kg were assigned in a 4×4 Latin square design to investigate nutritional characteristics of TKPER, dry hea...

IN a series of papers [Chibnall and Channon, 1927, 1, 2, 3; Channon and Chibnall, 1927], we have recorded certain results which we have obtained in the analysis of the ether extract of the leaf-cell cytoplasm of the cabbage. The object of the present paper is to discuss these results so far as is at present possible from their chemical and physiological aspects, and, in passing, to refer to our...

The present study was conducted on efficiency of utilization of dietary energy for milk production in lactating crossbred cattle. 18 lactating crossbred cattle of early to mid-lactation, approximate body weight (375.39±23.43 kg), milk yield, parity and stage of lactation were divided into three groups of six animals each and were fed 0, 50 and 100% diammonium phosphate (DAP) in the mineral mixt...
