Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel is a nutritive, antioxidant rich byproduct, easily available after production of pomegranate juice and ready to eat arils. The present study is undertaken to know the nutritional importance of fresh and detanninated pomegranate peel powder. Fresh pomegranate peel collected after juice extraction from Bhagwa variety of pomegranate. Fresh peels were crushed fine...

Defatted Jatropha curcas L. (J. curcas) seed kernels contained a high percentage of crude protein (61.8%) and relatively little acid detergent fiber (4.8%) and neutral detergent fiber (9.7%). Spectrophotometric analysis of the methanolic extract showed the presence of phenolics, flavonoids and saponins with values of 3.9, 0.4 and 19.0 mg/g DM, respectively. High performance liquid chromatograph...

An experiment examining nutritional effects of dietary corncob particle size was conducted using ruminal-, duodenal- and ileal-cannulated sheep in a 4 X 4 Latin square design. Site of nutrient digestion and digesta flow were the principal criteria evaluated. Analyses of dry matter (DM), N, starch and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were performed on feed, feces and digesta samples. Chromic oxide-...

Abstract There is evidence for the beneficial effects of forage peanut on nutritive value and fermentation profile silages; however, its sugarcane silage have not been determined. The objective study was to evaluate chemical composition, profile, microbial dry matter recovery (DMR) containing various amounts (Arachis pintoi cv. Belmonte) (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% a fresh basis), treated or untreated w...

Among the artiodactyla, the suids are a group whose digestive physiology has hardly been investigated. The apparent digestibilities (aD) of macronutrients were measured in captive specimens of warthog (Phacochoerus africanus), red river hog (Potamochoerus porcus), and Visayan warty pigs (Sus cebifrons), and compared with those reported for babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa) from the same facility o...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of adding citric acid residue (CAR) with or without lactic bacteria (LAB) Napier grass (Cenchrus purpureus; syn. Pennisetum purpureum) cv. Sumu No. 2 at ensiling on fermentation quality and aerobic stability resulting silage. Treatments included: Control (Napier forage additives); inoculated (Lactobacillus plantarum L. buchneri) 1 × 106 cfu/gf...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the production and chemical composition three forage species at different regrowth intervals. A 3 x 4 randomized-block factorial design with (Andropogon, Buffel, Massai) four intervals (21, 35, 49, 63 days) used. There no interaction (p > 0.05) between interval on any components evaluated. crude protein content decreased but contents neutral deterg...

An experiment (3 trials) was conducted to determine the AME(n) of 15 corn co-products obtained from various wet and dry milling plants, and to develop prediction equations for AME(n) based on chemical composition. Co-products included distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS, n = 6), high-protein distillers dried grains (n = 2), corn germ (n = 2), corn germ meal, corn bran with solubles, cor...

Plantation by-products can be used as livestock feed with proper processing, optimizing the efficiency of palm kernel cake (PKC), empty oil bunch (EOPB), and acacia sawdust (AS). This study aimed to improve usability byproducts alternative through Pleurotus ostreatus fermentation process. To this end, a 3×3 factorial, completely randomized design was applied. Factor A type substrate, P1 = PKC, ...
