this study was conducted to compare fungi and whole rumen microorganisms (wrm) digestibility of treated sugarcane pith by fungi and of buffalos and holstein cows. dry matter (dm), neutral and acid detergent fiber (ndf and adf) digestibilities of steam treated sugarcane pith (stp) by fungi and wrm were compared with a two-steps digestion technique, gas production (gp) and specific rumen fungi cu...

the major aim of this study was to compare the morphology and activity of rumen protozoa of khuzestan water buffalo and holstein cow using in vitro digestibility and gas production parameters of steam treated sugarcane pith. rumen fluid obtained from two buffalo and cow steers fed the same diet, 30:70 concentrate: forage. to separate rumen protozoa, antibiotic solution and fungicides were added...

on experiment was designed for evaluating the nutritienal characteristics and physico-chemical properties of steam treated sugarcane pith (19 bar, 3 min.) and some other roughages. steam treatment resulted in a significant decreased (p<0.05) in ndf (77 vs. 55%), hemicellulose to cellulose ratio (0.54 vs. 0.10) and increased hemicellulose solubility of and soluble sugar fraction (20 vs. 124 mg/g...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effect of procceesing of sugarcane pith with high pressure steam (210-220c◦, at 19 bar, over 3 min, on 70 % moisture) on fermentative activity and gas production parameters and degradation by pure microorganism of rumen. the microbial different groups of rumen were separated by physical and chemical methods and using antibiotics. these microbial gr...

Performance responses to steam flaking flint corn as well as to the addition of roughage to finishing diets composed of whole flint corn were evaluated. Ninety-six Nellore bulls were stratified by initial BW (373 ± 11 kg) and randomly allotted to 16 feedlot pens (6 bulls/pen) in a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates/treatment. Dietary treatments for the 86-d feeding trial consist...

Ethanol Production from Sugarcane Bagasse Pretreated by Steam Explosion 25 ABSTRACT Bioethanol is an alternative renewable fuel that can be produced from cellulosic biomass through hydrolysis and fermentation based processes. Sugarcane bagasse constitutes a potential lignocellulosic substrate for bioethanol production, since it has high sugar content and is a renewable, cheap and readily availa...
