ntegrated farming systems through the inclusion of forage into plantation area can increase supply for ruminants. The aim research was to evaluate biomass production, nutrient, mineral content, and digestibilityof A. gangeticaunder different light intensity in palm areas. conducted under randomized complete block designbased on three each block. Data were analyzed statistically with R i386 3.6....

The by-product (residue) from fermented yellow maize starch production was dried and milled into flour designated as residues, the residue added to Gari at 0–30% levels of substitution produce Gari-residue blends. blends control were evaluated for its functional pasting properties, proximate composition, mineral content digestibility. reconstituted with hot water a stiff dough (“Eba”) sensory c...

Phaseolus vulgaris L. beans have been characterized as a nearly perfect food in all around the world. It is consider functional in terms of providing nutrients and energy to sustain daily life. Red bean contain high protein, mineral, fibres and chemically diverse micronutrient composition, which can be affected by processing. The main aim of this work is to investigate the effect of open and co...

The effect of the removal of alpha-galactosides from Lupinus albus L. var. multolupa on the chemical composition of the prepared flour and the dialyzability of N, total P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Mn was studied. The extraction process caused a significant increase in total and insoluble nitrogen contents and decreased the amount of soluble protein nitrogen. However, neither these changes nor treatm...

ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the effect of water salinity and environmental temperature on nutrient consumption, digestibility, nitrogen balance, mineral excretion creole goats. Thirty-six males with an average age 5.0±0.6 months weight 20.0±2.3kg were housed in metabolic cages. They are distributed a completely randomized design, 2×3 type crossover (2 temperatures (T1 = 26±0.6ºC T2 3...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of adding ferric ammonium citrate (FAC; 300 mg ferric Fe/kg DM) to a 0.51% S diet on diet digestibility, mineral balance, and 56-d performance of steers fed a high concentrate diet. Angus-crossbred steers (n = 18) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: 1) control diet (0.21% S; CON), 2) CON + sodium sulfate (0.51% S; high S [HS]), a...

Seventy-two growing pigs (initial BW: 18.0 ± 1.6 kg) were used to determine the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of P and Ca and the standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P in 8 different sources of meat and bone meal (MBM) and to develop equations to predict digestibility of P and Ca in MBM. Pigs were housed individually in metabolism cages and were randomly allotted to 9 d...

Continuous chromatographic separator techniques have allowed the extraction of more simple sugars from molasses (MOL). The resultant byproduct, concentrated separator byproduct (CSB), has reduced readily fermentable carbohydrates but elevated CP and mineral content. The feed value of CSB was compared to that of MOL in two separate trials. In Trial 1, a chopped forage mixture containing 8 4 O/O ...

We hypothesize that soybean hulls (SH) and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) can be used in lamb diets to increase dietary energy density compared with a traditional grass hay (GH) and soybean meal (SBM) diet without causing adverse effects on nutrient digestibility and rumen function. To test this hypothesis, four ruminally-cannulated wethers were used in a 4x4 Latin square design t...
