In this study we investigated the effect of maturity stage on chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD) and volume of gas produced at 24 h (G24) of forages from Avena sativa L. (oats), Trifolium alexandrinum (berseem), Vicia sativa L. (vetch), Avena sativa-Vicia sativa (OV) and Avena sativaTrifolium alexandrinum (OB) mixtures collected at progressive morphological stages (S1...

Leaf secondary compounds were examined in browsed and non-browsed Juniperus ashei trees to identify selective browsing patterns by goats and deer. Analysis of volatile leaf oils (terpenoids) revealed that the browsed trees were lower in total oil than non-browsed trees (2.18 vs. 3.46%, DW basis). Extractable and fiber-bound condensed tannins (CT) were not different but protein-bound CT concentr...

The wet chemical analysis of feed samples is time consuming and expensive. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was developed as a rapid technique to predict the chemical composition of feeds. The prediction of accuracy of NIRS relies heavily on obtaining a calibration set which represents the variation in the main population, accurate laboratory analyses and the application of the best mathematic...

The present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. Grapefruit pulp (GP), lemon pulp (LE), lime pulp (LI) and orange pulp (OP) were the test feed. Digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction and acid detergent fiber (ADF) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the in...

this study was conducted to compare fungi and whole rumen microorganisms (wrm) digestibility of treated sugarcane pith by fungi and of buffalos and holstein cows. dry matter (dm), neutral and acid detergent fiber (ndf and adf) digestibilities of steam treated sugarcane pith (stp) by fungi and wrm were compared with a two-steps digestion technique, gas production (gp) and specific rumen fungi cu...

smirnovia iranica, a native valuable woody species from fabaceae, is an adaptable plant of central sandy areas of iran. on other hand, this species could be markedly considered from different view points of forage production, soil conservation and medicinal applications. the current research was carried out in band-e-rig of kashan, iran to evaluate smirnovia iranica properties including crude p...

the effects of a multi enzyme were evaluated on performance and nutrient digestibility in african domesticated ostrich at 14 months ages. there were three treatments as; common diet (1), common diet plus multi enzyme (0.350 gkg -1) (2) and common diet plus multi enzyme (0.700 gkg -1) (3). 18 ostrich were used in this experiment (6 birds per treatment). there was significant effect of enzyme sup...

Bu çalışma; Elazığ Merkeze bağlı Hal Köyü’nde yetişen ağaçların sonbahar aylarında dökülen yapraklarının (gazel) yem kalitesini belirlemek amacıyla 2020 yılında yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada, deneme materyali olarak 9 farklı ağaç yaprağı (her bitkiden 3 örnek) kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre ham protein (HP) %7.38-15.69, asit deterjan lif (ADF) %15.39-34.98, nötral (NDF) %19.22-43....

Çalışma, bazı Macar fiği genotiplerinin tohum ve kes verimleri ile kalitelerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla, 2014, 2015 2016 yıllarında 3 yıl süre yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, bitki materyali olarak 10 adet genotipi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre üç tekrarlamalı kurulmuştur. Araştırmada; genotiplerin verimi, bin tane ağırlığı, keslerin ham kül oranı, protein oranı asit ...
