This study aimed to the digestibility quality of Elephant Grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and concentrate with addition urea molasses in vitro. The was conducted vitro using an experimental method. design used a completely randomized (CRD) four treatments five repetitions: T0 (Elephant 100%), T1 60% + 40% Concentrate), T2 60%) % Umos 40%) T3 Concentrate 20% 20%). results showed no effect (P>0.0...

Digestibility is a very useful index of the energy content of ruminant feeds, but cheaper and quicker laboratory methods are required as an alternative to the ultimate measure of in vivo digestibility using animals. These methods involve either prediction of digestibility from chemical composition or in vitro and in situ simulation of the digestion process. This review presents a range of chemi...

The effect of inclusion of garlic essential oil (EO) at 33, 66 and 100 μg mL-1, raw garlic (GAR) at 5, 10 and 15 mg mL-1 and monensin (MON) at 7.5 μg mL-1 of incubation medium on organic matter digestibility (OMD) was studied with in vitro gas production, ANKOM daisyII and conventional in vitro (IVOMD) methods. The material was incubated with sheep ruminal fluid and the experimental design was ...

Maturing reed canarygrass, Russian wildrye, and smooth bromegrass cell walls were analyzed for lignin, phenolic acids, and neutral sugars. Linear correlation between in vitro dry matter digestibility and the p-coumaric acid content was .86 . The correlation between in vitro dry matter digestibility and ratio of p-coumaric to ferulic acid was .84 . Samples with high percentages of lignin also co...

The objectives of this study were to determine how feeding diets that differed in dietary neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentration and in vitro NDF digestibility affects dry matter (DM) intake, ruminal fermentation, and milk production in early lactation dairy cows. Twelve rumen-cannulated, multiparous Holstein cows averaging 38 +/- 15 d (+/-standard deviation) in milk, and producing 40 +/- ...

Chemical Composition, Gas Production Parameters and In Vitro Digestibility of Processed Grass Pea (Lathyrus Sativus) Residues with Some Chemicals

As environmental constraints become more important issues for the animal industry, selecting feed ingredients that yield good animal performance but also minimize environmental impact of animal production becomes critical. The objective of this research was to identify which compositional features would be desirable for soybean meal to maximize nutritional value and minimize animal waste. Eight...
