this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, digestibility, degradability and nutritive value of madder, rubia tinctorum l.  and alfalfa medicago sativa. using in vitro and in situ measurements. the mean values for om, cp, ndf, adf and ee were 892.5, 172.0, 306.5, 219.4 and 16.0 g/kg dm for madder hay, and 921.3, 141.4, 482.0, 361.1 and 6.50 g/kg dm for alfalfa hay, respectiv...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cut and irrigation water quality on chemical composition and in situ dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) degradability of alfalfa. Three fistulated Zel sheep (approximately 2 years old) were used in a complete randomized design to evaluate the in situ rumen degradability. Ruminal in...

This study was aimed to evaluate the correlation between in vitro fermentation and in situ degradation parameters and to predict dry matter degradability and energy protein synchronization of roughage based diets. Different inclusion of roughage in diets [roughage 50% diet (R50D), roughage 60% diet (R60D), roughage 65% diet (R65D) and roughage ...

The in situ dry matter (DM) disappearance of corn silages in two maturity stages (milk grain and half milk line) of known in vivo and in vitro digestibility was determined, with the main purpose of comparing digestibility values with the ruminal disappearance at 24 and 48h of incubation. A secondary goal was the description of their ruminal digestion kinetics, from which the effective degradabi...

The objective of this study was to estimate the protein degradability parameters of 6 common ruminant feedstuff using the nylon bags (in situ) and the innovative in vitro method-the DaisyII incubator. Significant differences were observed between the in situ and in vitro methods in estimation of the rapidly soluble (a) fraction (Pin vitro method were highly correlated with the estimated values ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different heating treatments (autoclaving, roasting, steam flaking and microwave irradiation) on chemical composition, anti- nutritional compounds (tannin and phenolic), in situ dry mater (dm) and crude prate in (cp) degradability. three fistulated bull in a complete randomized block design and in vitro gas production kinetics (complete random...

The evaluation of foodstuffs provides the animal nutritionists with necessary information to adjust the diet from a physiological and economic point of view, so that the animal performance be desirable. Nowadays, there are various methods for evaluating ruminant feed intake. One of the most important methods is in situ nylon bag technique. Prosopis farcta is one of plants which is used as forag...

Ruminal starch degradation of untreated and formaldehyde-treated wheat and maize was measured in situ (trial 1) and in vitro (trial 2). The in situ starch degradability was higher for wheat than for maize (82.1 vs 52.3%), for untreated cereals than for cereals treated with 1% formaldehyde (77.3 vs 67.0%) and for cereals treated with 1% formaldehyde than those treated with 5% formaldehyde (67.0 ...
