one of the important factors to make a balance between number of grazing livestock and grazing capacity is whether forage contains sufficient energy and protein during grazing period or not. therefore in this study, forage quality was evaluated for important species in steppe rangelands of changuleh located in ilam province. to do this, samples from four species of hammada salicornia, salsola l...

quality of protein fractions, according to cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps), and digestibility coefficients, using tilley and terry procedure, of the fresh and ensiled amaranth (amaranthus hypochondriacus) forage were assessed. the concentration of crude protein (cp) and true protein (tp) in the fresh forage, were respectively 116 and 70 g/kg of dm. soluble protein (sp) and a...

The effect of grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (Quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (OMD) and in situ dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to deactivate the tannins. In vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...

the effect of grape pomace (vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (omd) and in situ dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to deactivate the tannins. in vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary putrescine (PUT) on broiler’s response fed low crude protein (CP) diets. A total of 192 male day old chicks were fed with four dietary treatments including two levels of PUT (0 and 0.03%) and two levels of CP (normal and low) with factorial combinations. Weekly growth performance, nutrient digestibility and intestinal morphology (...

A silage inoculant [Biomin® BioStabil Plus, BSP, a blend of Enterococcus faecium (DSM 3530), Lactobacillus brevis (DSM 19456) and Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 19457)], was used on legume-grass silage [32% of dry matter (DM)] vs. an untreated control silage (CT). The material had mean crude protein (CP) and water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) concentrations of 174 and 88 g/kg,respectively. BSP resu...

The potential of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) as a fast method to predict the Crude Protein (CP) and Moisture (M) content in fishmeal by scanning spectra between 1000 and 2500 nm using multivariate regression technique based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) was evaluated. The coefficient of determination in calibration (R2C) and Standard Error of Calibra...

Five common range forage including Agropyron intermedium, Bromustomentellus, Hordeum bulbosum, Cousinia bakhtiarica and Scariolla orientalis, weresampled during three phenological stages, from controlled rangeland stations over fivelocations in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran. All samples were chemicallyanalyzed for Crude Protein (CP%), in vitro Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD), OrganicM...
