Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) is an important cool-season, annual forage crop for the grassland rotation system in Southern China. The primary aim of breeding programs is always to seek to improve forage quality in the animal productivity system; however, it is time- and labor-consuming when analyzed excessive large number of samples. The main objectives of this study were to construct ...

The purpose of the current work was to designate effect maturity stages potential nutritive value, chemical composition, condensed tannin (CT), gas production (GP), methane production, metabolizable energy (ME), and organic matter digestibility (OMD) Rheum ribes L. Maturity significantly affected (P<0.05) CT, GP, ME OMD Dry (DM), crude ash (CA), protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral ...

This study was conducted to determinate of yield and some quality characters sorghum cultivars in Usak province 2014. In the used four sudangrass hybrid (Aneto, Sugar Graze II, Greengo, Nutri Honey) two (Teide Rox). The experiment carried out completely randomized block design with three replicates. study, plant height, herbage yield, hay crude protein (CP) ratio, yields, acid detergent fiber (...

Dryland pastures provide the basis for animal sustenance in extensive production systems Iberian Peninsula. These have temporal and spatial variability of pasture quality resulting from diversity soil fertility floristic composition, interaction with trees, grazing, a Mediterranean climate characterized by accentuated seasonality interannual irregularity. Grazing management decisions are depend...

Total mixed ration (TMR) samples (n = 110) were analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), soluble CP, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), NDF CP, starch, ash, fat, total ethanol-soluble carbohydrate, and nonfiber carbohydrate (NFC). Rapidly and slowly degraded and undegraded in situ CP fractions and in vitro DM, organic matter, and NDF digestibility were determined on each TMR. The TMR were ...

Improving the productive performance of agricultural residue silage has practical relevance to sustaining livestock production. Sweet corn stover (SCS) and cassava pulp (CSVP) are widespread in tropics as low-cost feed resources. To efficiently prepare SCS CSVP silage, impact adding Acremonium cellulase (AC), Lactobacillus casei strain TH14 inoculant (TH14), their combination (AC+TH14) on ensil...

Next to crop production, rearing livestock in Ethiopia is essential for the community’s food and nutrition security. However, a major obstacle global particularly Ethiopia, shortage of high-quality sufficient feed. Designing development plans intervention options both improving natural pasture would require an evaluation yield nutritional composition. As result, purpose this study was evaluate ...

The high energy diets that are typically fed to dairy cows can put the cow at risk of experiencing ruminal acidosis. High energy diets are low in neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and high in starch. The starch sources are often processed in a manner to optimize starch availability in the rumen and the fiber sources are often highly digestible and short in particle length. As a result, these types ...

Renewed interest exists in using grass forages to dilute the higher crude protein (CP) and lower digestible fiber present in legumes fed to lactating dairy cows. A 3 x 3 Latin square feeding study with 4-wk periods was conducted with 24 Holstein cows to compare ryegrass silage, either untreated control or macerated (intensively conditioned) before ensiling, with alfalfa silage as the sole dieta...

The Mixteca region of Oaxaca, Mexico, is characterized by extensive grazing various grasses, shrubs, and trees to raise goats. objective this study was identify determine the dry matter (DM), organic (OM), crude protein, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), in vitro digestibility (IVDMD) species consumed goats Oaxaca. direct observation method used collect forage from during rainy (August-September) ...
