Two origin of starch – maize and wheat were tested by using four non lactating cows with rumen and duodenal Tcannules in the experiment. Cr2O3 was used as a marker of nutrient flow to the duodenum. Cows were fed diets consisting of, %: forage 70, maize and/or wheat meal 27 and/or 29, soyabeanmeal 2 and vitamix S 1, on dry matter basis. Starch origin did not affect ruminal fermentation significa...

The effect of maize grain supplementation on the resilience and resistance of browsing Criollo goat kids against gastrointestinal nematodes was evaluated. Five-month-old kids (n = 42), raised worm-free, were allocated to five groups: infected + not supplemented (I-NS; n = 10), infected + maize supplement at 108 g/d (I-S108; n = 8), maize supplement at 1% of body weight (BW) (I-S1%; n = 8), maiz...

Background Maize fodder is being used as staple feed for livestock but it lacks protein and essential amino acids; lysine and tryptophan. Intercropping maize with leguminous soybean crop is promising technique under limited land resources of South Korea but it can only give considerable advantages when adequate distance is provided between corn and soybean rows. Main aim of present study was to...

The experiment was conducted during October-December,2020 at Forage Production Unit, College of Veterinary Science, Korutla, Jagityala, Telangana State, India to evaluate the yield fodder under different manure or fertilizer applications and along with nutritional composition in fresh ensiled form. African tall maize (ATM) sown four treatments five replications randomise block design (RBD) (T1=...

The common smut of corn, caused by Ustilago maydis, reduces the yield and quality maize forage. When heavy infestations corn occur, grain yields can be so severely decreased that most viable economic alternative may to harvest ensile crop. Only a couple studies have attempted investigate influence aerobic exposure on nutritive value stability silage, which is prepared from smut-infected maize. ...

BACKGROUND Genetic engineering offers the opportunity to generate unique genetic variation that is either absent in the sexually compatible gene pool or has very low heritability. The generation of transgenic plants, coupled with breeding, has led to the production of widely used transgenic cultivars in several major cash crops, such as maize, soybean, cotton and canola. The process for regulat...

Forage maize is the predominant crop in intensive dairy farming regions of Europe. This crop, however, associated with considerable nitrate leaching and decreasing soil organic matter concentrations. Catch crops installed after harvest can usually only be sown late growing season North-West Europe to tackle these problems efficiently. Intercropping grass species such as tall fescue has potentia...
