Use of an in vitro Rumen Gas Production Technique to Evaluate the Nutritive Value of Five Forage to Concentrate Ratios

This study presents the chemical composition and in vitro fermentation of five diets with different forage (alfalfa) to concentrate (faba bean) (F:C) ratios, F0:C100, F25:C75, F50:C50, F75:C25, F100:C0 on a dry matter (DM) basis. Results indicate that the chemical composition in term of organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fi...

Determination of Nutritive Value of Poa trivialis Using in vitro Methods, Gas Production and Nylon Bag

This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, metabolizable energy, digestibility and ability of gas production of Poa trivialis. Samples was collected at three phenological stages including: vegetative growth, flowering and seedling on two different elevations of 1300 to 1500 m and 2000 to 1800 m asl in Neor and Hir region as the first and second sites, respectively. Testing ...

FORAGE & GRAZING LANDS Forage Production and Nutritive Value of Selected Pigeonpea Ecotypes in the Southern Great Plains

for use in sustainable forage-livestock production systems in the southern Great Plain region. Stocker cattle production in portions of southern Great Plains Pigeonpea is a summer legume crop grown for grain depends on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and warm-season perennial grasses. Nutrient supply is limited in both quantity and quality from in the tropics and subtropics. The crop ranks sixth i...
