In Vitro Estimation of Dry Matter and Crude Protein Digestibility

ffect of irradiation on ruminal disappearance of dry matter and crude protein, and in vitro digestibility of canola meal.

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of electron beam (eb) and gamma ray (gr) radiations at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy on ruminal degradation kinetics of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp),andin vitro digestibility of canola meal (cm). the nylon bag technique and in vitro two step method were used for this aim. gr decreased ruminal degradability of dm (p<0.05), but eb had no ...

Dry Matter and Crude Protein Degradability ofMopane Worm (Imbrasia belina) in Rumen of Steers

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...

In vitro Gas Production and Dry Matter Digestibility of Irradiated Pomegranate (Punica granatum) Seeds

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of irradiation of pomegranate seed (PS) on chemical composition, digestibility and kinetic of gas production. Pomegranate seeds were exposed to gamma ray (GR) and electron beam (EB) at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 kGy. Three ruminally fistulated rams were used for obtaining ruminal fluid for in vitro digestibility and gas production measuremen...

Heritability Estimates for Forage Yield, In Vitro Dry Matter Digestibility, Crude Protein, and Heading Date in Indiangrass

Space-planted populations derived from 'Holt' and 'Oto' indiangrass, Sorghastrum nutans (L.) Nash, were used to obtain heritability estimates for forage yield, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), crude protein, and heading date and to determine their genotypic correlations. Heritability estimates were determined by variance component analyses and by parent-progeny regression. Average nar...
