the scope for using sunflower cake in ration formulation was tested in 6 horses employed for equine tourism. three experimental diets providing the same amount of proteins and energy as the control diet were formulated using rising doses of sunflower cake (sd3: 0.3 kg; sd6: 0.6 kg and sd10: 1.0 kg). digestibility evaluation using internal markers showed that rising sunflower cake doses reduced ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of biological treatment withPleurotus floridafungi on chemical composition and rumen dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) degradability of wheat and barley straw. Wheat and barley straw were collected from Golestan province of Iran and after pasteurization mixed with fungi spawn (than 5% by weight). After 21 days samples were dried in oven (...

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 present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. Grapefruit pulp (GP), lemon pulp (LE), lime pulp (LI) and orange pulp (OP) were the test feed. Digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction and acid detergent fiber (ADF) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the <e...

The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effects lactic acid bacteria and cellulase on fermentation quality, chemical composition, aerobic stability ruminal degradation characteristics mixed silage prepared with amaranth rice straw. Lactic were used as additives, four treatments follows: control group (CON, no additive), (LAB, additive amount was 5 mg/kg fresh matter), (CEL, 2 mg/kg) (L...

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 conducted to determine the nutritive value of fresh and ensiled whole and partly stoned olive cake (oc) with or without molasses i.e., 0 and 50 gkg-1 on fresh basis. dry matter (dm), organic matter (om), crude protein (cp), neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergent fiber (adf), lignin (sa), ether extract (ee), water soluble carbohydrates (wsc), and total phenols (tph) of all ...
