Fifteen different vegetable protein sources found in Pakistan were evaluated for ruminal degradability characteristics through in situ procedure using rumen fistulated Nili-Ravi buffalo steer. Samples of soybean meal, corn gluten meal 60%, maize gluten feed, guar meal, sunflower meal, rapeseed meal, rapeseed cake, canola meal, cottonseed cake, cottonseed meal, coconut cake, coconut meal, palm k...

introduction: demands of agricultural products, particularly in developing countries, are increasing rapidly. consequently, land and water resources are unable to sustain such demands. for decades, rangelands in africa, west and central asia suffered from overgrazing and many areas are severely degraded. range vegetation used to be the main feed resource for livestock particularly in the arid a...

The purpose of this research was to determine the influence Myristic acid and source condensed tannin on corn straw basedcomplete feed nutrient content in vitro digestibility. method which used experiment randomized block design with four treatments three replications. treatment consisted T0 complete (40% + 60% concentrate), T1 concentrate myristic 30 g/Kg DM), T2 50% calliandra leaf meal 10%/K...

in a preliminary study carried out in a simple field laboratory in bandar-abbas, southern iran, five isolates of p. falciparum collected from the patients was cultured in rpmi 1640 medium with human serum in the tightly closed screw capped vials without any devised system for adjustment of co2 and o2 mixture. the same isolates were also cultured, simultaneously, in petri-dishes using jensen-tra...

Two experiments were conducted to determine effects of supplemental ruminally degradable protein (RDP) vs. increasing amounts of supplemental ruminally undegradable protein (RUP) on intake, apparent digestibility, N retention, and nutrient flux across visceral tissues in lambs fed low-quality forage. Lambs were fed a basal diet of crested wheatgrass hay (4.2% CP) for ad libitum consumption, plu...
