Volume 2 • Issue 1 • 1000e104 Adv Dairy Res ISSN: 2329-888X ADR, an open access journal Although water vapour is the largest and essential greenhouse gas inclusive of ozone in the stratosphere, the mitigation of anthropogenic six greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons have been established as legally binding...

The nutritive value of Ceratonia siliqua and Gleditsia triacanthos pods was determined on the basis of their chemical composition, in vitro gas production and rumen fermentation end-products. Medicago sativa was used as a reference feed material. The studied samples showed differences in chemical composition and phenolic compounds. Crude protein (CP) content was particulary low (80 g/kg DM) in ...

This study was conducted to investigate effects of disodium fumarate (DF) on fermentation characteristics and microbial populations in the rumen of Hu sheep fed on high-forage diets. Two complementary feeding trials were conducted. In Trial 1, six Hu sheep fitted with ruminal cannulae were randomly allocated to a 2 × 2 cross-over design involving dietary treatments of either 0 or 20 g DF daily....

We hypothesized that microbial efficiency and output from fermentation in the rumen would be optimized when peptide supply was balanced with peptide requirement of ruminal microflora. This study was conducted to measure response of varying rumen degradable peptide (RDPep) supply on ruminal fermentation characteristics and steer growth. A continuous culture experiment was conducted with diets fo...

Assessment of the rumen fluid is an ancillary examination technique used in the clinical examination both of the individual bovine patient and at population level. The specific function and structure of the rumen makes ruminants different from other animals. Therefore, it logical to assess the rumen in detail when confronted with a bovine patient. Assessment of the rumen fluid is essential to a...

Beauchemin and Rode (1996) recently reviewed the use of enzymes in ruminant diets, however, enzymes in the form of crude whole fungal cell preparations have been used to enhance ruminant production for many years. This paper aims to investigate the similarities between the emerging feed enzymes and fungal feed additives, and to use this information to speculate on potential modes of action of d...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Rumensin and Tylan in feedlot diets containing wet distillers grains plus solubles. Eight hundred beef steers (329 ± 25 kg) were blocked by initial BW and randomly assigned to one of five treatments (20 steers per pen, 8 pens per treatment). Treatments consisted of a corn-based diet with Rumensin and Tylan (CORN+RT) and four treatments ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the supplementation of active yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on diets of lambs fed with two different concentrate proportion on DM intake, apparent digestibility of nutrients, in vitro digestibility of dry matter and rumen fermentation parameters. Twenty non-castrated male lambs, averaging 120 days-old, housed in metabolism cages, with collector and separa...

Three commercial plant tannin and a yucca extract having different secondary compound profiles were simultaneously evaluated in vitro for their effects on ruminal methane gas production and rumen fermentation patterns of wheat forage. Overall objective was to quantify in vitro, the sources of tannins and dose levels of tannins and yucca extract on rate of gas production, ruminal fermentation, f...
