Seven legume straws (Cicer arietinum, Vicia benghalensis, Vicia sativa, Vicia villosa, Vicia faba, Lens culinaris and Pisum sativum) were studied in rumen-cannulated rams. The chemical composition of the studied legume straws varied from 4.3 to 10.1% for ash, 6.1 to 11.4% for CP, 58.0 to 76.5% for NDF, 40.3 to 59.6% for ADF and 8.2 to 14.2% for ADL. Extent of degradation for DM and NDF by the n...

Effect of Activated Charcoal on the Fermentation Parameters and Degradability Contaminated Diet with Aflatoxin B1 by Microorganisms Isolated from Rumen In Vitro

The effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae supplementation (6.6×10(8) cfu) and anhydrous ammonia treatment (3%) of wheat straw (WS) were investigated on in-situ dry matter (DM) degradability, and on rumen fermentation and growth performance of lambs. Rumen-fistulated Menemen sheep fed a diet with and without live yeast were used to assess the DM degradability characteristics of WS and ammonia-trea...

Four in vitro experiments (Exp.) were conducted to evaluate lavender essential oil (LEO) effects at 0 (control), 250 (low dose), 500 (medium dose), 750 and 1000 µL per L (high doses) of incubation medium on rumen gas production kinetics (Exp.1), ruminal digestibility and fermentation (Exp.2), methane production (Exp.3) and rumen acidosis (Exp.4). The asymptote of gas production (A) increased qu...

Doepel, L., Montgomery, J. E., Beauchemin, K. A., King, J. R. and Acharya, S. N. 2012. Ruminal degradability and wholetract digestibility of protein and fibre fractions in fenugreek haylage. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 92: 211 217. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the digestibility of fenugreek forage compared with alfalfa in dairy cows. Alfalfa and two genotypes of fenugreek, Quatro and F70, w...

The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition, in situ rumen Dry Matter (DMD) and Organic Matter Degradability (OMD48) of Apple tree leaves. In this study, Apple tree leaves were collected from the different parts of East Azerbaijan province. Chemical composition including Dry Matter (DM), Crude Protein (CP), crude Ash (Ash), ether extract, Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF),...

Several methods were used for the evaluation of feed protein for rumen degradability and intestinal digestibility of rumen undegraded protein (RUP). The aim of this work was to explore the possibility of using the Cornell method of predicting the fraction RUP. An in situ method was adopted for estimation of degradability parameters (a, b, c) and effective degradable crude protein (EDCP), and fi...
