In this study, it was aimed to determine some forage quality characteristics of sweet sorghum genotypes in semi-arid climatic conditions. The experiment set up randomized complete block design with 4 replicates. Research carried out 2016 and 2017 under Harran Plain second crop conditions, Sanliurfa, Turkey. the study 21 were used. Crude protein content, crude ash, acid detergent fiber (ADF), ne...

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...

Mefluidide, a plant growth regulator, was evaluated in two cow-calf grazing trials and one herbage trial on smooth brome (Bromus inermis) pastures stocked at recommended densities in eastern Nebraska. Mefluidide-treated pasture increased cow and calf production during August of 1982 (P = .03) and calf production was greater during July of 1983 (P = .09). Mefluidide-treated smooth brome pastures...

This study was performed to evaluate the impact of dietary protein levels on nutrient digestibility and water and nitrogen balances in conditioning eventing horses. Twenty-four Brazilian Sport Horses, male and female (8.0 to 15.0 yr; 488 ± 32 kg BW), were used in a randomized design with 4 levels of CP diets: 7.5%, 9.0%, 11.0%, and 13.0%. A digestion assay was performed with partial feces colle...

groups, although the difference in NDF at reproductive stage was attributed to the difference in maturity. At Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentration is related to intake reproductive stage, the low-NDF groups also had lower potential of forages but might also be related to plant reaction to yield per plant than the high-NDF groups; at the vegetapathogens. Three smooth bromegrass (Bromus in...

Çalışmada, Niğde-Bor yolunda ve Niğde Ömer Halisdemir (OHU) Üniversitesi kampüs içerisinde bulunan farklı baklagil (Fabaceae) ağaçlarından (Leucaeno leucacephala, Robinia pseudoacacia, Colutea arborescens, Cercis siliquastrum, Wisteria sinensis) toplanan yaprakların besin madde içerikleri vein vitro sindirilebilirliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan yem materyallerinde ...

the effects of a multi enzyme were evaluated on performance and nutrient digestibility in african domesticated ostrich at 14 months ages. there were three treatments as; common diet (1), common diet plus multi enzyme (0.350 gkg -1) (2) and common diet plus multi enzyme (0.700 gkg -1) (3). 18 ostrich were used in this experiment (6 birds per treatment). there was significant effect of enzyme sup...

smirnovia iranica, a native valuable woody species from fabaceae, is an adaptable plant of central sandy areas of iran. on other hand, this species could be markedly considered from different view points of forage production, soil conservation and medicinal applications. the current research was carried out in band-e-rig of kashan, iran to evaluate smirnovia iranica properties including crude p...

To determine the effect of forage moisture content on intake and digestion kinetics in sheep, a metabolism trial was conducted using 16 mature wethers (44 kg BW) in a completely randomized design. Forage was harvested at two maturities in early spring from a naturalized pasture composed of temperate grass and legume species. Herbage was harvested at either 8 (early) or 16 cm (late) in height an...
