Using Arsoy™ as a protein supplement in growing cattle diets

Wheat Straw in Growing Cattle Diets

Evaluation of protein supplementation for growing cattle fed grass silage-based diets: a meta-analysis.

The objective of this meta-analysis was to develop empirical equations predicting growth responses of growing cattle to protein intake. Overall, the data set comprised 199 diets in 80 studies. The diets were mainly based on grass silage or grass silage partly or completely replaced by whole-crop silages or straw. The concentrate feeds consisted of cereal grains, fibrous by-products and protein ...

Energy and protein utilization in growing cattle.

Limited data are available to describe the different phases of dietary protein and energy utilization in growing cattle as compared with those in adult cattle or in growing nonruminants. The European data on this topic are summarized to indicate application in appropriate feeding standards. Net protein requirements are widely variable with breed and sex. They are lower in steers than in bulls a...

The Use of Sweet Almond Meal as a Protein Source in Japanese Quails Diets

In the first experiment, the chemical composition, apparent metabolizable energy (AME), AME corrected for nitrogen (AMEn), true metabolizable energy (TME), TME corrected for nitrogen (TMEn) values of the sweet almond meal were determined in adult Leghorn cockerels. The second experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of different levels of sweet almond meal at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg on...

Inositol as a lipotropic agent in dairy cattle diets.

Fatty liver syndrome or hepatic lipidosis (HL) is a condition thought to contribute to an increased incidence of peripartum disease, reduced response to therapy and decreased fertility in dairy cows. This syndrome is characterized by excess triglyceride (TG) accumulation in the liver and apparent decreased hepatic lipoprotein output. In lactating rats, a similar condition results from feeding a...
