Five different hays were used to determine the effect of 5 different soaking and steaming treatments on the water soluble carbohydrate and microbial (bacteria and mould) contents of UK hay. Hays were subjected to the following 5 treatments: 1. Dry; 2. Steamed for 50 minutes in the Haygain- 600 steamer; 3. Soaked in water at 16°C for 9 hours; 4. Steamed then soaked and 5. Soaked then steamed. Po...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of electron beam irradiation at doses of 250 and 500 kgy on the chemical composition and ruminal dry matter (dm) and neutral detergent fiber (ndf) degradability of wheat straw. nylon bags of untreated or irradiated wheat straw were suspended in the rumen of three rams for up to 72 h, and resulting data were fitted to non-linear degradation model t...

the effects of a microbial inoculant (containing propionic and lactic acid bacteria) and formic acid onchemical composition, ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm) and nutrient digestibility of corn silage wereexamined. whole-plant corn was ensiled for 60 days in plastic polyethylene bags, and three treatments werecompared, 1: control (no additive), 2: propionibacterium acidipropionici plus l...

effect of heat processing on the nutritive value of broiler litter, as a potential ruminant feedstuff,was studied in two pilot plans, processing through an assessment of chemical composition, proteinfractionation according to cncps as wells digestibility making use of tilley and terry method. in amanufactory located in the city of sabzevar. the average values of dry matter (dm), crude protein(c...

the effect of phosphorus supplementation to ammoniated rice straw was studied. the in vitro experiment was carried out following the first stage of tilley and terry method. the treatments consisting of four diets were a= 50% ammoniated rice straw + 50% concentrate (control), b= a + 0.2% phosphorus (p) supplement, c= a + 0.4% phosphorus (p) supplement, and d= a + 0.6% phosphorus (p) supplement o...

Materials and methods: One hundred and forty newly weaned pigs were assigned to five dietary treatments (four pens of seven pigs per treatment). Three FLWD preparations inoculated with either humanor pigorigin LAB strains were added to a basal dry feed. The fourth FLWD preparation contained no LAB. The fifth diet was the basal dry feed containing 0.1% lincomycin (control). LAB strains were mixe...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of using raw or microwave irradiated safflower seed on dry matter intake, milk production and composition, milk fatty acid profile, blood parameters, and nutrient apparent digestibility in early lactation cows. Nine multiparous Holstein cows at early lactation were randomly assigned to one of three treatments based on 3 × 3 balanced latin ...

The velocity function derived from large scale surveys can be compared with the predictions of ΛCDM cosmology, by matching the measured rotation velocities Vrot of galaxies to the maximum circular velocity of dark matter (DM) halos Vmax. For Vrot<50 kms−1, a major discrepancy arises between the observed and ΛCDM velocity functions. However, the manner in which different observational measures o...

thirty five growing male goats (6.98±0.86 kg bw) were divided into five equal groups with seven animals in each group. the five dietary treatments were consisted of varying proportions of moringa foliage (moringa oleifera) and napier grass (pennisetum purpurium); t1 (100% moringa foliage); t2 (75% moringa foliage+25% napier grass); t3 (50% moringa foliage+50% napier grass); t4 (25% moringa foli...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a bacterial inoculant and chemical additives on nutrient composition, in vitro degradation, total loss, aerobic stability, microbiological quality, and fermentative profile of sugarcane silage. Treatments were distributed to forty-eight mini-silos in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement: two levels of microbial inoculant (INO, 0 or 4 g/t of fresh s...
