Effect of Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) Silage on Intake and Nutrient Digestibility in Cattle Fed Rice Straw and Cottonseed Cake
Four crossbred Sindhi heifers with an average body weight (BW) of 135 kg and a mean age of 17 months were used to investigate the effect of feeding different combinations of rice straw and ensiled water hyacinth (EWH) supplemented with a source of protein in the form of cottonseed cake (CSC) on intake and digestibility. Four treatments consisting of graded levels of EWH were arranged in a 4×4 L...
متن کاملEffects of the Supplementation of Yeast, Molasses and Barley to Barley Straw Diets on the Intake, Digestibility and Ruminal Fermentation in Sheep
Supplementation increased the total dry matter intake by 18.2-36.8 %. Supplements given alone or in combination had no effect on dry matter and organic matter digestibility of the diet. Crude protein digestibility was decreased with molasses supplementation. Crude fiber digestibility was not affected by baker’s yeast supplementation but decreased with other supplements. The digestibility of nit...
متن کاملEffect of concentrate supplementation on nutrient digestibility and growth of Brahman crossbred cattle fed a basal diet of grass and rice straw
BACKGROUND An experiment was conducted in Vietnam to test the hypothesis that total dry matter (DM) intake and liveweight (LW) gain would increase in a curvilinear manner with increasing amounts of concentrate offered. METHOD There were five treatments: a basal diet of Guinea grass fed at 1 % of LW and rice straw fed ad libitum (T0), or this diet supplemented with concentrate at 0.6 (T1), 1.2...
متن کاملEffect of Supplementation of Straw Based Diets on the Digestibility and Microbial Nitrogen Production of Cross Bred Cattle
Four bull calves (120±10 kg, 12±2 months of age) were fed four rations: rice straw ad libitum (S), S+0.225 kg DM/head/day low cost concentrate (Gava Thriposha) supplement (S+GT), S+0.216 kg DM/head/day Gliricidia sepium tree fodder (S+TF) and S+GT+TF, using a 4x4 Latin square design. Compared with un-supplemented straw, dry matter digestibility (DMD) and organic matter digestibility (OMD) incre...
متن کاملEffects of fiber source on apparent digestibility and ruminal fermentation parameters in sheep fed high-concentrate diets
Sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). Diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, T1), 35% wheat straw (T2), 35% barley straw (T3) or 35% maize straw (T4). Total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...
