The objective of this research was to study the effect of fat concentration from corn coproducts, fed during the growing phase on DMI, gain, carcass traits, digestibility, and rumen metabolism of steers. Exp. 1: 40 steers (age = 140d; BW = 185 ± 11 kg) were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 dietary treatments: (1) corn-based control (CNT), (2) 0% corn distillers solubles (CDS), (3) 10% CDS, (4) 19% C...

Dietary fibers (DF) may affect energy balance, an effect often ascribed to the viscous nature of some water soluble DF, which affect luminal viscosity and thus multiple physiological processes. We have tested the hypothesis that viscous linseed DF reduce apparent nutrient digestibility, and limit weight gain, in a randomized feeding trial where 60 male, growing, Wistar rats, with an initial wei...

in order to investigate antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of pomegranate peel powder (ppp), this research was conducted as completely randomized design arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment using pomegranate peel powder (0 and 2 percent) and soybean oil (so, zero and six percent in growing period; zero and eight percent in finishing period). one hundred and sixty 11-day-old ross 308 broi...

The digestibility and heat production values for three fats of different origin were determined. Four pony geldings (225 kg) were used in a study consisting of four successive digestion trials utilizing a 4 X 4 Latin square design. The four dietary treatments were basal alone and supplemented with 15% corn oil, blended fat or inedible tallow. The blended fat was composed of a mixture of animal ...

A meta-analysis was performed to determine the influence of cereal grain type and corn grain harvesting and processing methods, dietary starch, rumen-digestible starch, and forage NDF concentrations on intake, digestion, and lactation performance by dairy cows using a data set comprising 414 treatment means from 102 peer-reviewed journal reports from 2000 to 2011. Categories for corn processing...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two levels of four commercial multi-enzymes on the apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (amen) and digestibility of crude fat, crude protein, dry matter, and organic matter in broiler chickens through total excreta collection method. one hundred thirty male broiler chicks were assigned to 45 metabolic cages involving 9 tre...

Two hundred twenty-four steers (initial BW = 363 ± 1.57 kg) were used in a 2 × 3 + 1 factorial arrangement of treatments to evaluate the interactive effects of concentration of wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) and bulk density (BD) of steam-flaked corn (SFC) on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and apparent total tract digestibility. Diets consisted of 0, 15, or 30% WCGF (DM basis) with ...

The digestibility of ether extract varies greatly from forages to grains and further to added fats consisting mainly of triglycerides. This variation has been attributed to two main factors, the presence of nonhydrolyzable substances in the ether extract, especially in leafy foods, and the dilution of endogenous fecal fat. A compilation of results from 188 equine digestion balance observations ...
