Feeding value of dehulled flaxseed

Feeding value of dried lime pulp in broiler diets

Effect of feeding rolled flaxseed on milk fatty acid profiles and reproductive performance of dairy cows.

The objectives were to study the effects of feeding rolled flaxseed (FLX) to early-lactation dairy cows on milk yield, milk components, and milk fatty acid profiles as well as on measures of cow reproduction. Lactating Holstein cows, on 3 commercial dairies, were fed either an early-lactation ration (CON) or a ration that was similar in protein, energy, and fat content but that included FLX (0....

Effects of Feeding Different Levels of Flaxseed on Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Blood Parameters of Pre-Weaning Calves

   In this experiment, we used 15 newborn Holstein male calves that their initial weight was 41 ± 4.5 kg and their age was one week. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three treatments and five replications. Treatments included: 1- control treatment without flaxseed, 2- treatment containing 5% flaxseed and 3- treatment containing10% flaxseed. Flaxseed replaced ...

Feeding Value of Singed Walkingstick Cholla

Walkingstick cholla cactus (Opuntia imbricata [Haw.] DC) has been used in New Mexico as an emergency feed during drought for more than 100 years. Most reports present only the chemical composition of walkingstick cholla, and limited data exist regarding its feeding value. Three wethers (avg wt 65 6 7 kg) were fed a basal diet of mature blue grama hay (Bouteloua gracilis [HBK] Lag. ex Steud., 9....

Comparison of feeding value of a treated sea plant, Posidonia australis, with lucerne, pasture and wheat

An experiment was carried out to compare the effect of feeding posidonia australis as a non-conventional feedstuff with cereal straw for sheep maintenance; and to compare seagrass/chicken litter with lucerne hay and pasture for sheep production on a scale such as would be applicable to lot-feeding of sheep in the area of suthern Australia in case of short term feed scarcity. To approach this ta...
