The use of mixed ration silage (MRS) provides animals with a diet formulation that meets their nutritional requirements. This study aimed to evaluate the fermentative profile, losses, chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility silages, including babassu by-products as feed alternative for dairy cows. A completely randomized design was used, four treatments five replications, whi...

the aim of this study was to investigate the processing methods of sorghum grain and diet formulation on performance and nutrients digestibility in broilers. three hundred and twenty chicks at eight day of age were allotted into eight groups of four replicate with ten chicks per replicate. this research was conducted as completely randomized design arranged in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment u...

Expansion of the biodiesel industry has increased the crude glycerin (CG) supply. Crude glycerin has the potential of replacing corn in ruminant diets because the glycerol can be converted to glucose in the liver of ruminants, providing energy for cellular metabolism. The objective was to evaluate the effects of CG with urea, soybean meal, cottonseed meal, and corn gluten feed, respectively, on...

A nationally accepted standard hay test for alfalfa hay has included measurement of Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Dry Matter (DM) and Crude Protein (CP). Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) has typically been calculated directly from a fiber measurement, usually ADF. However, this is likely to change. While there are a range of points of view on forage testing, it is l...

The objective of this study was to analyze the nutrient composition and variability university dining hall food waste compare it with common feedstuffs used in ruminant monogastric diets. Food categorized into two initial streams: mainstream (MS) from serving line vegetable preparation (VP) kitchen. Waste collected Kramer Dining Center, Kansas State University, resulting 30 daily samples. weigh...

Sunlight exposure of winegrape clusters is frequently reported to increase C(13)-norisoprenoids in resulting wines, but the timing and mechanism of this influence is not well understood. Fruit zone leaf removal was applied to Vitis vinifera cv. Riesling at three timings: 2, 33 and 68 days past berry set (PBS), and compared to an untreated control. Free and total 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronapht...

Abstract The objective of this study was to characterize physiochemical and nutrient profiles feedstock co-products from canola processing that were impacted by source origin compare feedstocks (mash pellet) five different bio-oil plants with batches samples in each plant Canada (CA) China (CH) collected the Canola Council (CCC). detailed physicochemical nutrients parameters for ruminants deter...
