roid had been active to maintain calcium due to low intake. They proposed the following formula for use during the dry period (in pounds): Ground barley, 800; rolled barley, 600; wheat bran, 500; cottonseed meal, 100; monosodium phosphate, 40; and salt, 10. Each cow should receive 8 pounds a day for 6 weeks before freshening plus 8 pounds of oat hay or poor hay. In several herds where the incid...

Four pigs fitted with a gastric cannula were fed on a wheat-flour-based diet (WF) and three oat-based diets, consisting mainly of oat flour (OF), rolled oats (RO) or oat bran (OB), for 1 week each. The stomach contents were collected quantitatively daily at 0.5, 1, 2, 3 or 5 h after feeding. The viscosity (mPa.s) of the liquid fraction of stomach contents 1 h after feeding was 1.7 with diet WF,...

Xylanase activity was isolated from crude extracts of Trichoderma harzianum strains C and 4 grown at 28 degree C in a solid medium containing wheat bran as the carbon source. Enzyme activity was demonstrable in the permeate after ultrafiltration of the crude extracts using an Amicon system. The hydrolysis patterns of different xylans and paper pulps by xylanase activity ranged from xylose, xylo...
