Investigation of Time of Hay Feeding on Plasma Volume And
نویسندگان
چکیده
A common question asked regarding feeding the performance horse is when should the horse be fed hay relative to grain and exercise. Should the horse receive hay before, with or after a grain meal. Research in our laboratory (Pagan et al, 1997) with resting horses showed that time of hay feeding affected glycemic response to a grain meal and total plasma protein (TPP) concentration. Increases in TPP presumably reflect changes in plasma volume. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate whether time of hay feeding actually affects plasma volume and whether these changes affect metabolic response during an extended exercise bout.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of partially replacing forage sources (alfalfa hay) with treated wheat straw on nutrient digestibility, chewing activity, blood metabolites, rumen fermentation, and performance of finishing lambs. Wheat straw (WS) was treated with 7 % sodium hydroxide, 3.5 % salt, and 3.3 % calcium carbonate and then ensiled for 2 months. Twenty-three male ...
متن کاملEffects of supplementary feeding on growth and carcass characteristics of fat-tailed lambs grazing cereal stubble
Despite a shortage of animal feed in Iran, cereal stubble is often underutilized due to agro-economic reasons. On the other hand, lambs fed with a conventional fattening ration deposit a considerable amount of fat; therefore, this experiment was conducted aimed at better utilization of cereal stubble and reducing the fat content of lamb carcasses. Fat-tailed Mehraban and Ghezel ram lambs were p...

The effect of starvation and re-feeding was investigated on growth, hematology and biochemical parameters in juvenile Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus). Three hundred and seventyfive fish (108±0.63 g) were divided into five feeding groups. The control group (C) was fed to satiation three times a day during the experiment. The four groups were starved for 1 (W1), 2 (W2), 3 (W3), and 4 (W4) w...

Chromium carbide – nickel chromium powder Cr3C2-25wt.NiCr was plasma sprayed by a water-stabilized system WSP®. A series of experiments with variable feeding distance was carried out. Basic characterization of coatings was done by XRD, SEM and light microscopy plus image analysis. Microhardness was measured on polished cross sections. The main focus of investigation was on resistances against w...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fat supplementation for enhancing milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in early lactation without affecting ruminal fermentation. 24 Holstein dairy cows were assigned to a completely randomized design employing a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement. Factors were particle size (15 and 25 mm) and two different sources of alfalfa supplemented with and wit...
