Objective. Improve the nutritional value of mechanized sugarcane residues inoculating the fungus Fomes sp. EUM1. Materials and methods. The fungus Fomes was inoculated according to a 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% (w/v) treatment and incubated at a temperature of 35°C for 7, 10 and 13 days. It was obtained DM, OM, CP, ash, NDF and ADF and the effective degradation of DM, NDF and ADF, with an experimenta...

Mustard straw (MS) was soaked for 6 h in the solutions containing 0% (S0), 1% (S1) or 2% (S2) sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 0% (H0) or 1.5% (H1) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) following a 3 2 factorial design. The pH of the untreated MS (near neutral) was increased to more than 10 after treatment with NaOH (S1H0 and S2H0) or alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP; S1H1 and S2H1). The treatment effect on tenac...

Five barrows with an average initial BW of 45 kg and fitted with a T-cannula at the distal ileum were fed 5 diets to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of AA in corn (Zea mays) distillers' dried grains (DDG), DDG with solubles (DDGS), high-protein DDG (HPDDG) and high-protein DDGS (HPDDGS). On a DM basis, the test ingredients contained 33.7% CP, 19.2% ADF, and 53.1% NDF for DD...

Bermuda grass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is a major forage for grazing and hay production in the southern United States. The objectives of this study were to determine effects of nitrogen (N) fertilization rate (0, 112, 224, 336, and 448 kg ha−1), split spring and summer applications of N at the 224 and 448 kg ha−1 rates, and harvest periods (spring and summer) on forage yield, crude protein...

There are limited data on the DE and ME values and the digestibility of fiber in canola meal, rapeseed meal, and rapeseed expellers fed to pigs. This experiment was conducted to measure the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy, ADF, and NDF and to calculate DE and ME values in canola meal, 00-rapeseed meal, and 00-rapeseed expellers fed to growing pigs. Twenty-three barrows (init...

Abstract In ruminant diets, rumen undegradable starch (RUS) contributes to maintaining health by maximizing post-ruminal absorption. This present study aimed estimate dietary RUS values from their chemical composition. The database was developed some literature search engines and obtained 41 studies 17 references. composition of ash, dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid lignin (...

A study was conducted to find out the Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in terms of cellulose, hemicellulose, Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF) and phytate phosphorus content of locally available poultry feed ingredients in and around Namakkal area. The mean NDF (%) of feed ingredients varied from 9.55 in maize and 11.64 in soyabean meal (SBM) to 45.88 in sunflower meal (...

Forage quality has a large impact on market price and profitability. Nationwide, the marketing systems of Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) and Relative Feed Value (RFV) are primarily ‘fiber-based’ marketing systems, since they depend upon Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) and Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) lab measurements. Average change in California markets over 8 years of market reports in Californ...
