Nutritional evaluation of wet brewers’ grains as substitute for common vetch in ensiled total mixed ration

Cassava Root Meal as Substitute for Maize in Layers Ration

The effect of replacing maize with graded levels of cassava root meal (CRM) as energy source in the diet of laying hens was evaluated during the eight weeks of feeding experiment on performance and cost benefits on layers. Forty-five Nera black laying hens of 24 weeks of age were allocated to five dietary treatments, with nine birds per treatment in a completely randomized design. CRM was used ...

Crop Residue Based Densified Total Mixed Ration

Effect of Feed Additives in Growing Lambs Fed Diets Containing Wet Brewers Grains

The study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effects of feed additives on ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestibility and performance of lambs fed diets containing 60% wet brewers grains (WBG). In Experiment 1, two simultaneous trials were conducted. Fifty intact (20.2±0.8 kg BW) lambs were used in a feedlot trial and 10 (rumen cannulated; 32±1 kg BW) in a digestion trial. The pH, volat...

In vitro evaluation of total mixed ration supplemented with exogenous fibrolytic enzymes for crossbred cows

AIM The study was conducted to evaluate the levels of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) on in vitro digestibilities of dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM), total gas production (TGP), metabolizable energy (ME) content, and microbial biomass production (MBP). MATERIALS AND METHODS The total mixed ration (TMR) was prepared using 30% each of sorghum hay and groundnut straw and 40% compound ...

Use of Palm Waste Cellulose as a Substitute for Common Growing Media in Aglaonema Growing

In order to evaluate the possibility use of palm waste cellulose as a substitute substrate for growing pot plants, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with 6 replication and six treatments on Aglaonema sp. The treatments were 5 levels including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 palm celluloid wastes mixed with different rates of some amendments such as peat, coconut coir, perl...
