Dueto theactionofo-quinones formedviapolyphenoloxidase, conserved red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) contains abundant rumen undegradable protein (RUP), but inadequate rumen degradable protein (RDP) fordairy cattle. This studyexaminedhowforagemanagement influences RDP, RUP, crude protein (CP) and fiber fractions in red clover silage and dry matter (DM) yields during the first full production ye...

This study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of sun flower meal treated and untreated with 0.5% urea and microwave using nylon bags technique in Gizel sheep. Two fistulaed Gizel sheep with average BW 45±2 kg were used in a complete randomized design. The treatments were as following: A: sun flower, B: sun flower treated with 0.5% urea, C: sun flower treated with microwave. The ru...

Context Beef cattle feed efficiency is challenged in northern Australian production systems due to the limited dietary protein, leading changes rumen bacterial populations and fermentation outcomes. Aims Two types of diets with different protein contents were used evaluate composition diversity, aiming correlate parameters. Methods In total, 90 Brahman steers (341 ± 45 kg BW) selected for this ...

Plastics are low molecular weight organic materials, that are non degradable in the natural environment. Generation of plastic waste constitutes a major part of Municipal Solid Waste. This creates a lot of environment pollution, which in turn affects ecosystem and human health. The solution to tackle this dreadful situation lies in following 3R namely Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Waste plastics c...

Dietary protein intake is the most important factor determining milk production, milk composition, milk nitrogen efficiency, urinary nitrogen losses, urea content in milk and consequently, ammonia emissions from dairy cow manure. According to the nutrition requirements two main protein sources are available for cows: rumen degradable protein, provided to the animal through ruminally synthesized...
