the aim of this study was to determine the effect of yeast culture (saccharomyces cerevisiae sc 47) addition in the diet of dairy cows on their rumen fermentation and milk production. animals received a diet tmr based on good maize silage with a higher dry matter content (14 kg), 14 kg of lucerne-grass haylage, 5 kg of crushed ears of maize, 5 kg of beet pulp silage, 3 kg of crimped wheat, 2 kg...

Maize and soybean intercropping is a cereal-legume pattern that not only increases grain yield but also improves the nutritional value of silage. Experiments were conducted in summer season to compare composition forage silage quality mono-cropped maize intercropped maize-soybean harvested at two stages maturity. The main treatments one sole crop (SM) four patterns (one-row one-row (1M1S), two-...

An on-farm experiment was conducted with Nellore ram lambs by feeding intensively for five months period with sole maize silage (R-I), silage + concentrate at 0.5 per cent body weight (R-II), silage + concentrate at 1.0 per cent body weight (R-III), silage + concentrate at 1.5 per cent body weight (R-IV), silage + lucerne hay (R-V) and silage + GN haulms (R-VI) to develop a feeding system based...

The main objective of the thesis was to study AA supply of dairy cows fed grass silage based diets with specific emphasis on the impact of changing individual and total AA supplies arising from individual AA supplementations or changes in the diet on milk production and AA utilisation. Mammary AA metabolism was also studied to broaden the understanding of the mechanisms underlying altered lacta...

The field experiment was conducted in the central-eastern Poland. aim of research to determine effect low-energy lignite organic matter applied preceding crop form an organomineral fertilizer on treatment optimization Zea mays L. maize grown for silage. Two factors were taken into account research: factor I—five fertilization plots control plot—without (1), NPKMgS (2), + N1(3), N2 (4), N3 (5); ...

Legume/maize intercropping has been practiced in many countries as a sustainable cropping system, but the effects of legumes with maize together N application rates on biomass yield, quality, water-use efficiency (WUE), and nitrogen use (NUE) are limited under arid conditions Northwest China. Field experiments were carried out areas China from 2019 to 2020 three planting patterns (LM: Dolichos ...

The chemical composition and the particle size distribution of 37 maize silages produced in north-west of Portugal were determined. Mean dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent ®bre (NDF) and starch were 288 33, 81 9, 502 45 and 229 54 g kgÿ1 DM, respectively. Particle size was determined by manual separation of fresh silage into three fractions: material >30 mm in length; materi...

Mycotoxins – General SCUDAMORE, K.A. and PATEL, S. 2000. Survey for aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, zearalenone and fumonisins in maize imported into the United Kingdom. Food Additives and Contaminants 17: 407–416. Raw maize as received at ports or at major maize mills in the UK were examined for aflatoxins B 1 , B 2 , G 1 and G 2 , ochratoxin A (OA), zearalenone (ZEA) and fumonisins B 1 , B 2 and B ...
