Wheat Middling Versus Alfalfa Hay Supplements for Lactating Beef Cows Wintered on Ammoniated Wheat Straw

Determination of Nutritional Value of Acroptilon Repens At Different Phonological Stages Compared To Alfalfa Hay and Wheat Straw in Laboratory Conditions

This research was conducted in order to determine chemical composition, gas production parameters, in vitro digestibility and ruminal degradability of Acroptilon repens at different phonological stages (vegetative, flowering and seeding) and its comparison with alfalfa hay and wheat straw in Completely Randomized Design. For this purpose, Acroptilon repens was prepared in three stages of growth...

Marketing Hay by Nutritive Value and Weight

Introduction The use of hay-only winter feeding programs is expensive and contributes significantly to the overall cost of cow ownership. Producers should examine the use of alternative winter feeding strategies that reduce the dependence on hay and reduce input costs for the cow-calf production system. A backup plan, however, for the inevitable drought or ice/ snow cover days will require a st...

Nutritional Value of Eastern Gamagrass Hay Compared with Alfalfa Hay

A feeding trial utilizing lactating dairy cows was conducted to compare Eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides) and alfalfa hay. Response criteria included feed intake, weight change, and yield and composition of milk. Dry matter intake and milk yield of cows fed alfalfa hay exceeded that of those fed gamagrass hay. There was no significant difference in milk composition, and average weight c...

Effects of Replacing Alfalfa Hay and Wheat Straw by Pistachio by-Product Silage and Date Waste on the Performance and Blood Parameters of Fattening Lambs

In this trial effects of feeding pistachio by-product silage with date waste (PBSD) on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and blood parameters of lambs were studied. Ensiling of pistachio by-products (PBP) with date waste increased dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME), but decreased the percentages of crude protein (CP), total tannins and phenolic compounds (P

The Nutritive Value of the Proteins of Alfalfa Hay and Clover Hay When Fed Alone and in Combination with the Proteins of Corn

The great importance of legume hay is recognized by everyone interested in livestock production. Because of this importance, it is highly desirable to obtain data on the nutritive value of the proteins in these hays when they are fed alone and when fed in combination with the protein of corn and other farm-grown grains. It is apparent that the great value of legume hays in stock feeding is larg...
