Published data on the effects of essential oils (EO) on in vivo nutrient digestibility in sheep are contradictory. In 2 experiments, the effect of thymol and carvacrol on nutrient digestibility was studied in sheep fed with high (70%) or low (52%) concentrate diets, using incomplete Latin Square designs. The essential oils were mixed with the concentrate portion of the diet at the rate of 0.0, ...

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...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of protected organic acid blends including medium chain fatty acids and different nutrient density diets on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and faecal noxious gas content in growing pigs. A total of 80 crossed [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] growing pigs with an initial body weight (BW) of 22.61 ± 2.32 kg we...

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 study was conducted to investigate the effects of different doses of salvia mirzayanii essential oils on gas production parameters, fermentation characteristics using gas production and dual flow continuous culture system. trearments in the gas production experiment was adding 0, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000, 2400 and 4800 mg/l of salvia mirzayanii essential oils to the media. in the second ...

   Current study monitored Electerical Conductivity (EC) as soil salinity index and Organic Matter (OM) in the area of Harat in Yazd, Iran, through remote sensing technology with high spatial and spectral resolution. The images were selected from IRS, LISS III satellites between the years 2008 and 2012. After preprocessing and analyzing the images, the relationship between parameters of (EC) an...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cottonseed meal (csm) treated with sodium bentonite (sb) on laying hen profit and apparent digestibility of nutrients. a 3×3 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design with 9 dietary treatments of 4 replicates consisting 3 levels of sb (0, 1 and 2%) and 3 levels of csm (0, 10 and 20%) were tested. nine mash diets were fed to...

Adult Beagles (36) and mixed-strain hounds (4), in 8 groups of 5 dogs each, were used to evaluate organic matter digestibility of 4 diets having no fibrous ingredient (CON), beet pulp (BP), soybean hulls (SH), or cellulose (CEL), with or without 0.11% mannan oligosaccharide (MOS; Bio-Mos r , Alltech, Inc., Nicholasville, KY). Analyzed total (and soluble) fiber percents, respectively, were: 8.1 ...
