limited data exist about the production of extruded linseed as a feed ingredient in farm animal nutrition. the objective of this study was to produce and evaluate extruded linseed mixed with alfalfa hay, pistachio by-products, and sugar beet pulp or corn grain in different proportions of linseed: alfalfa hay: pistachio by-products at ratios of 70:15:15, 70:20:10, 70:10:20, and 80:10:10 for qual...

Whole-molecule descriptors are obtained computationally from molecular structures using a variety of programs. Their applications are reviewed in the areas of solubility, bioavailability, bio- and nonbio-degradability and toxicity.

Ethanol producers remove lipid from distillers grains (DG) for applications such as biodiesel production. The effects of the lipid removal on ruminal protein degradability and total-tract CP digestibility of DG are not known. Five ruminally and duodenally cannulated Angus-cross steers (BW = 434 ± 15 kg) were used to incubate in situ bags for determination of protein digestibility of low-lipid (...

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of xylose treatment on rumen degradability characteristics of DM, OM and CP and in vivo digestibility of DM, OM, CP and crude fiber (CF) of soybean meal (SBM) and cottonseed meal (CSM). In Trial 1, three ruminally cannulated Merino rams were used. Xylose treatments at both levels, 0.5 and 1%, decreased effective degradability of DM, OM and CP of ...

this study was carried out to determine the chemical composition and degradability parameters of dm, adf and ndf in alnus subcordata saw dust (sd) biodegraded by phanerochaete chrysosporium and pleurotus ulmarius fungi. the sd samples were incubated by the fungi at 30 ± 1˚c and 65 ± 5% relative humidity for 7 and 17 days. biodegraded samples were sterilized to constant activity and oven dried f...

The objective of the study was to evaluate effect forages Gliricidia sepium (T1), Leucaena leucocephala (T2)), Moringa oleifera (T3), Morus alba (T4), Tithonia diversifolia (T5) on rumen function. For each treatment, nutritional quality, digestion, degradability, CH 4 gas production, CO2, holotric and entodinomorphic protozoa were analyzed. It found in T4 greater digestibility DM (P = 0.0002) M...
