چکیده

an experiment was carried out to evaluate how interactions between forage to concentrate ratio and dietary crude protein level may alter nitrogen efficiency and ut-b expression in growing baluchi male lambs. four baluchi male lambs [30 ± 2 kg bw] were used in a 4 × 4 latin square design with 28-d periods and a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments. the treatments fed forage: concentrate [fc; dm basis] ratios of 45:55 low concentrate (lc) or 25:75 high concentrate (hc) with dietary levels of cp of 14 low protein (lp) or 18% high protein (hp) [cp, dm basis]. dry matter intake increased as dietary concentrate level increased. treatments, dietary cp content and f: c ratio had significant effect on cp intake. increasing dietary n content of the diet increased dry matter (dm), crude protein (cp) and organic matter (om) digestibility. forage to concentrate ratio had a significant effect on neutral detergent fiber(ndf) and om digestibility. treatments had significant effect on the cp, ndf and om digestibility. there were an interaction between dietary cp content and f: c ratio on the ruminal ph, nh3-n concentration, individual volatile fatty acids (vfa) concentration, acetate: propionate ratio and bun concentration. except ruminal ph, all ruminal fermentation and blood metabolitefactors were affected by both dietarycp content and f: c ratio in trial.treatments had significant influence on the ni (g/d) and urinary n excretion (g/d) (% of n intake). also, both dietary cp content and f: c ratio had significant effect on ni. the lambs consume high crude protein treatments tended to have greater urinary n excretion (g/d) than those consume low crude protein treatments. the f: c ratio had a significant effect on urinary n excretion (g/d). approximately 6.56 times more ut-b was expressed by the rumen ventral sac for lambs on the treatments contain 18% crude protein relative to those on the treatments contain 14% crude protein. in conclusion this study shows that changes in characteristic of the diet produce significant changes in ut-b urea transporter expression within the ovine rumen. changing urea entry into the git via dietary regulation of ut-b could serve as important mechanism to maintenance of nitrogen balance and increase nitrogen efficiency in baluchi growing lambs. our findings suggest that the dietary regulation of urea transporters plays a major role in altering urea entry into the gastrointestinal tract.

Effect of thymol and carvacrol on nutrient digestibility in rams fed high or low concentrate diets

Published data on the effects of essential oils (EO) on in vivo nutrient digestibility in sheep are contradictory. In 2 experiments, the effect of thymol and carvacrol on nutrient digestibility was studied in sheep fed with high (70%) or low (52%) concentrate diets, using incomplete Latin Square designs. The essential oils were mixed with the concentrate portion of the diet at the rate of 0.0, ...

Effects of partial ruminal defaunation on urea-nitrogen recycling, nitrogen metabolism, and microbial nitrogen supply in growing lambs fed low or high dietary crude protein concentrations.

Urea-nitrogen recycling to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), N metabolism, and urea transporter-B (UT-B) mRNA abundance in ruminal epithelium were evaluated in partially defaunated (PDFAUN) and faunated (FAUN) growing lambs fed 2 levels (10%, low, or 15%, high) of dietary CP (DM basis). Four Suffolk ram lambs (43.9 +/- 1.4 kg initial BW) were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design with 27-d period...

Ileal Antibiotic Administration and Dietary Nitrogen Level for Beef Heifers Fed High Concentrate Diets

Crude protein requirements of finishing cattle over 1000 lb are below 10 percent of dietary dry matter (NRC, 1976). However, crude protein is usually fed in excess of 10 percent of DM due to decreased feed intake and performance at lower protein levels. Finishing diets usually consist of cereal grains fed ad libitum. With milo and corn grains, substantial quantities of starch are not completely...

Energy efficiency of growing ram lambs fed concentrate-based diets with different roughage sources.

Poor-quality roughages are widely used as fiber sources in concentrate-based diets for ruminants. Because roughage quality is associated with the efficiency of energy use in forage-based diets, the objective of this study was to determine whether differing the roughage source in concentrate-based diets could change the energy requirements of growing lambs. Eighty-four 1/2 Dorper × 1/2 Santa Inê...
