in this study, the nutritive values of treated walnut hull by neurospora sitophila were evaluated. the chemical composition of samples was evaluated by laboratory analysis.in vitrodigestibility experiment was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and also digestible organic matter in dry matter (domd) to estimate the metabolizable energy (me) content oftreat...

thirty five growing male goats (6.98±0.86 kg bw) were divided into five equal groups with seven animals in each group. the five dietary treatments were consisted of varying proportions of moringa foliage (moringa oleifera) and napier grass (pennisetum purpurium); t1 (100% moringa foliage); t2 (75% moringa foliage+25% napier grass); t3 (50% moringa foliage+50% napier grass); t4 (25% moringa foli...

the aim of this research was determination of nutritive value of cressa cretica with gas test method, in vivo digestibility and degradability with nylon bag method in three phenological stages. the amount of crude protein decreased significantly in seeding stage. but the amount of ndf and adf increased in seeding stage. the degradability of dry matter and rapid and slowly degradable fractions d...

A total of 360 1-d-old broiler chickens were fed on a diet based on rye and wheat in equal proportions without or with supplementation of increasing levels (0.11, 0.22, 0.44 and 0.88 g/kg) of a technical enzyme preparation containing pentosanase and beta-glucanase activities. In vitro investigations revealed that the enzyme preparation solubilized pentosans, increasing the relative viscosity of...

The aim of this paper was to study of the effect of fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum) and asparagus root (Asparagus officinalis) on in vitro digestibility and kinetics of gas production of alfalfa hay. Fenugreek seed (FS) and asparagus root (AR) were added at different levels (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of DM). Total phenolic components of alfalfa hay (AH), fenugreek seed (FS) and asparagus ...

This experiment was carried out to compare the effects of treated and untreated wheat straw with Pleurotus florida on ewe feed intake, nutrient digestibility, and ewe body condition score (BCS) after parturition. Thirty Kermani ewes with an average weight of 48 ± 3.05 kg and about four years old were used in this experiment. Synchronization of estrus in sheep has been achieved with the use of i...

1. The use of a nylon-bag technique for pig feed digestibility determination was studied. Bags, measuring 25 x 40 mm and containing feed samples, were introduced into the pig gastrointestinal tract through a duodenal cannula, and recovered in the faeces between 23 and 69 h later. The disappearance of organic matter and crude protein (nitrogen x 6.25) from the bags was compared with in vivo appa...
