Total mixed ration in exercising horse: digestibility and nitrogen metabolism

Crop Residue Based Densified Total Mixed Ration

Indigestible neutral detergent fibers: Relationship between forage fragility ‎and neutral detergent fibers digestibility in total mixed ration and some ‎feedstuffs in dairy cattle

Indigestible neutral detergent fibers (iNDF) accurately predict forage digestibility when measured in situ. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of rumen incubation times on the estimated concentrations of iNDF for four forages (alfalfa hay, corn silage, wheat straw and orchard grass), four concentrates (barley grain, soybean meal, beet pulp and wheat bran) and two ...

Effect of Feeding Total Mixed Ration on Methane Emission and Energy Metabolism in Crossbred Cattle and Buffaloes

This study evaluates the nutrients digestibility and energy metabolism of crossbred cattle and buffaloes fed different ratio of concentrate and roughage based ration. 12 adult animals were used of three groups of cattle and buffalo, the following: cattle (Bos taurus × Bos indicus) (n=6) and buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) (n=6). Three groups of animals, each consisting two crossbred cattle, and two b...

Extravascular lung water in the exercising horse.

Seven Standardbred horses were exercised on a treadmill at speeds (approximately 12 m/s) producing maximal heart rate, hypoxemia, and a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of approximately 75 mmHg. Extravascular lung water was measured by using transients in temperature and electrical impedance of the blood caused by a bolus injection of cold saline solution. Lung water was approximately 3 ml/kg b...

Apparent digestibility of nitrogen and nitrogen retention of forages fed to steers in metabolism stalls.

Holstein steers in metabolism stalls were utilized to determine apparent digestibility of N (DN), N retention (NR) expressed as a percentage of total N consumed, and Mcal/kg digestible energy (DE) when diets of seven different classes of forages were fed. The best predictive equation for digestibility of N in the 153 forages studied was DN(%) = -98.1065 + 11.4724 (%CP) + 41.4475 (DE) - .1498 (%...
