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 chemical composition, in situ  rumen degradability coefficients of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp), in vitro gas production and in vivo  digestibility were evaluated for olive cake (oc) silage treated (dm basis) with different additives as follows: (1) untreated oc; (2) oc, 8% molasses and 0.4% formic acid and (3) oc, 8% molasses, 0.4% formic acid and 0.5% urea. after addition of the...

The chemical composition, in situ  rumen degradability coefficients of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP), in vitro gas production and in vivo  digestibility were evaluated for olive cake (OC) silage treated (DM basis) with different additives as follows: (1) untreated OC; (2) OC, 8% molasses and 0.4% formic acid and (3) OC, 8% molasses, 0.4% formic acid and 0.5% urea. After addition of the...

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...

An in situ study was conducted on four rumen-cannulated wethers to determine (using (15)N infusion techniques) the microbial contamination (mg bacterial DM or crude protein (CP)/100 mg DM or CP) and the associated error on the effective degradability of fourteen feeds: barley and maize grains, soyabean and sunflower meals, full-fat soyabean, maize gluten feed, soyabean hulls, brewers dried grai...

the chemical composition, degradability coefficients (in situ) and ruminal-intestinal disappearance(mobile bag procedure) of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp) were evaluated for olive cake (oc)silages treated (dm basis) with additives as follows: (1) untreated oc, (2) oc + 0.5% urea, (3) oc + 0.4%formic acid, (4) oc + 8% molasses, (5) oc + 0.5% urea + 8% molasses, (6) oc + 0.5% urea + 0.4%...

The chemical composition, degradability coefficients (in situ) and ruminal-intestinal disappearance(mobile bag procedure) of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) were evaluated for olive cake (OC)silages treated (DM basis) with additives as follows: (1) untreated OC, (2) OC + 0.5% urea, (3) OC + 0.4%formic acid, (4) OC + 8% molasses, (5) OC + 0.5% urea + 8% molasses, (6) OC + 0.5% urea + 0.4%...

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...

Three cannulated Tswana steers were used to investigate the rumen degradability of mopane worm (Imbrasia belina) by measuring the amount of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearing at incubation periods up to 72 h. The effective degradability (ED) of DM and CP in the rumen was calculated at outflow rates of 0.03 / h (ED0.03) and 0.05 / h(ED0.05). Rumen degradable CP (RDP) was estimat...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional value and in situ degradation kinetics of eight high protein forage crops: alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), forage oat (Avena sativa L.), mixed pasture, and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) pasture in early vegetative stages, two forage lupins (Lupinus albus L.) in early bloom stages, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and kale (Brassica nap...
