Barley grain was sprouted in a still hydroponic growing chamber for 6, 7 and 8 day periods and sampled for chemical analyses, protein fractions, in vitro digestion and metabolisable energy (ME) determination. Productivity measured on the basis of the input-output balance of barley grain and GF yield. Results showed that CP, Ash, EE, NDF, ADF and water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) were increased w...

abstract             this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of yeast and molasses on chemical composition and nutritional value of artiplex lentiformis silage. the levels of yeast include: zero (control), 2.5 and 5 g/kg dry matter and levels of molasses include: zero (control), 10 and 15 percent that were added to atriplex and then ensiled. the experiment arrang...

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the beneficial effect monensin, tannic acid and cinnamon essential oil addition on sesame meal degradability by three-step in vitro method. experimental additives rumen, after rumen whole gastrointestinal tract significant (P<0.05). ruminal intestinal digestibility crude protein with range 76 84% 49 60%, respectively. increased (about 10%). Addit...

This study was conducted to determine the silage quality, in vitro digestibility and energy content of forage turnip (Brassica rapa) ensiled with molasses or ground barley. Forage harvested at three different stages: beginning, middle end flowering period, it no additive (control), 5% 4% In trial, pH, nutrient contents, ammonia nitrogen (NH$_{3}$-N) volatile fatty acid (VFA) Fleig scores, were ...

Abstract The objectives were to evaluate the nutrient utilization of fish meal, black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) larvae, and adult BSF meal develop equations for estimating in vitro disappearance larvae pigs. Two-step 3-step procedures used simulate digestion absorption nutrients gastrointestinal tract In Exp. 1, defatted larva had less (P < 0.05) ileal (IVID) dry matter (DM; 8...

Four ruminally and duodenally cannulated steers (703.4 +/- 41 kg initial BW) were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square to evaluate the effects of field pea inclusion level on intake and site of digestion in beef steers fed medium-concentrate diets. Steers were offered feed ad libitum at 0700 and 1900 daily and were allowed free access to water. Diets consisted of 45% grass hay and 55% by-products based...

The aim of this research is to compare indigestible internal markers acid insoluble ash (AIA) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) and total collection of faeces (TCF) for apparent digestibility estimation in Caspian horse. Analyses were carried out on wheat straw, alfalfa, barley and maize, for dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fiber (ND...

Six heifers (two Hereford X Jersey, four Hereford X Longhorn; average BW 278 kg) cannulated at the rumen and duodenum and fed a grass hay (fescue/orchardgrass) diet were used in a replicated 3 X 3 Latin square. Treatments were either no infusion (C), 150 ml of duodenally infused soybean oil (DI), or 150 ml of ruminally infused soybean oil (RI)/heifer twice daily for a total daily infusion of 30...

The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition and in situ degradability dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral (NDF) stockpiled perennial forage (SPF) or sun-cured hay (HAY) when collected at start end (October vs. December) fall grazing. Selected 6, 4-ha paddocks consisting meadow bromegrass alfalfa, were randomly assigned 1 2 replicate...

Eight male cattle of Local Yellow breed with an average live weight of 121 kg and an average age of 18 months were used to evaluate the effects of different levels of sun-dried cassava foliage supplementation (Manihot esculenta) on intake, digestibility and N retention. Rice straw ad libitum and para grass (Brachiaria mutica) at 1% DM of BW comprised the basal diet. The study was arranged as a ...
