In order to evaluate the effects of three organic (Formic, Acetic and Propionic acid) and two inorganic acids (Sulfuric acid and HCL) at different levels (0, 1, 2.5 and 5% (vol/wt)) on dry and organic matter, NDF, CP and ammonia-N content and pH of Iranian clover silage and its ruminal dry matter and nutrients degradability, this experiment carried out using a complete randomized design with 5×...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of formic and sulphuric acids on chemical composition, dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradability of alfalfa silage and its effect on early lactating Holstein cow as three trials. In the first trial, chopped alfalfa (22 and 33% DM) was ensiled with three levels of formic acid (0.0, 15 and 20 ml/kg DM) and two levels of sulphuric acid ...

  Present study was carried out to study the effect of growth stage on chemical composition and degradability parameters of DM, NDF and CP in bersim clover (Trifolium repens). Plant samples were collected and studied at 5 stages of vegetative growth stage (second week, fourth week, sixth week, eighth week, tenth week). Ruminal degradability of samples was determined by in situ technique using t...

This research was carried out to determine nutritive value of Medicago polymorpha and Malva parviflora in various growth stages. The study was conducted at three rangelands during December 2013 to May 2014. The samples of plants were randomly taken in three stages including vegetative growth, flowering and maturity (seed production). Samples of each stage and place were analyzed for DM, CP, EE,...
