In this paper, the influence of cut at two maturity stages (the beginning flowering stage and mid bloom bacterial inoculant ?Silko za lucerku? (contains Lactobacillus plantarum Pediococcus spp.) on quality red clover silage were presented. The commercial cultivar Nada selected Bc Institute in Zagreb was used for investigation. examined mini-silos (glass jars 1.5 l volume with plastic fermentati...

The experiment was conducted for a period of 75 days to study the effect of treatment of straw with urea or with urea and a urease containing chick pea seed meal and midden soil on chemical composition of treated rice straw, feed intake of the animals, nutrients digestibility, body weight gain, and feed conversion efficiency. For the study twelve indigenous growing bulls aged approximately 20 m...

Calculated energy consumed in 284 cow yr by individually fed Angus, Charolais and reciprocal cross cows was partitioned into m~intenance, weight change and milk production requirements. Total digestible nutrient (TDN) consumed in 94 heifer yr was partitioned into maintenance and weight change requirements. The cow year was subdivided into midgestation, late gestation and lactation periods that ...

This research aims to measure supply chain performance of dairy concentrate in cooperative with the SCOR-AHP approach and develop improvement based on result, analyze quality suitability as a basis comprehensive standard its control mechanism. was conducted at farmer located West Java. The analysis used operation reference-analysis hierarchy process (SCOR-AHP). For measuring product quality, te...

in order to evaluate forage quality in intercropping, two field experiments were carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran, in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 growing seasons. two maize (zea mays l.) hybrids (sc704, sc301), vetch (vicia villosa), bitter vetch (vicia ervilia), ber...

Harvest time and storage had significant effects on nutrient quality Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) of alfalfa. The objective this study was to use headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) analyze alfalfa at different harvest periods (budding stage, early blooming, full blooming), for 0 d, 90 180 270 360 the dynamic changes in VOCs nutritiona...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional parameters of young bulls supplemented with different ratios of protein: carbohydrate on tropical pastures from 4 until 18 months old. Fifty-five non-castrated beef calves (138.3±3.4 kg, 90 to 150 d of age) were used. The calves (young bulls) were subjected to a 430-d experimental period encompassing 4 seasons. The treatments were as fo...

Abstract. Information on forage quality in phenological stage could help range managers to choose suitable grazing method to achieve higher animal performance without detriment to vegetation. Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is a non-native perennial grass that was introduced to the Iran in 2008. This plant is a multi use species that could be considered from different viewpoints. Thus, it...

Aim: The experiment was planned to investigate the effect of different concentrate roughage ratios and conventional feeding systems in total mixed ration on nutrient intake, water growth, feed conversion, cost crossbred dairy calves.
 Place Duration Study: present study carried out at Livestock Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat for a period 84 days.
