A data base was constructed to describe and estimate supplementation effects in nonlactating cattle consuming forage ad libitum. The data base included 66 publications on 126 forages (73 harvested and 53 grazed) and a total of 444 comparisons between a control, unsupplemented treatment and a supplemented treatment. Daily gains were reported for 301 comparisons and voluntary intake for 258. Dire...

Two experiments (Exp.) were conducted to establish amino acid (AA) digestibility coefficients (DC) for broilers given corticosterone (CS)-induced stress using the apparent ileal digestibility assay. For Exp. 1, 192 Ross x Ross 708 male broilers were placed into 16 floor pens (12 birds/pen). For Exp. 2, 120 Ross x Ross 308 male broilers were placed into 10 floor pens (12 birds/pen). Pens contain...

Abstract Java is considered a center for the ruminant population and supplies cattle buffalo to several parts of Indonesia. Livestock increment needs adequacy feed, both quantity quality. Potential sources feeds are therefore needed be inventoried ensure sustainability feed adequacy. This study aimed estimate potential amount from rice straw in supporting production region. The method this was ...

Preservation of forage crops as silage offers opportunity to avoid the high risk of rain-damaged hay in the humid south-central USA. Recent developments with baled silage or baleage make silage a less expensive option than typical chopped silage. Silage has been important in the region primarily for dairy production, but baleage has become an option for the more extensive beef cattle industry i...

A comprehensive cross-biome assessment of major nitrogen (N) species that includes dissolved organic N (DON) is central to understanding interactions between inorganic nutrients and matter in running waters. Here, we synthesize stream water chemistry across biomes find the composition pool shifts from highly heterogeneous primarily comprised N, tandem with (DOM) becoming more N-rich, response n...

The exports of carbon and nitrogen with water flowing in the headwater streams could be important components material mitigation forest ecosystems. Plant debris is a major source dissolved organic matter for streams, but few studies have investigated differences between impacts woody non-woody inputs on terms exports. Here, we assessed effects plant (i.e., debris, mixed debris) concentrations (...

The study aimed to examine the effect of herbal supplement in form curcuma flour on intake total digestible nutrient, dry matter and organic digestibility lactation cows. material used was 12 lactating a randomized block design with 2 treatments 6 groups based milk production. applied were T0 = basal feed T1 + (1% DM). parameters observed included amount consumption matter. data obtained analyz...

Feed is one of the main pillars that need to be considered in optimizing production parameters order develop an efficient livestock business. Two aspects make agricultural byproducts as a source feed; those are availability raw materials for animal rations with high economic value and function reduce environmental pollution. Methane emissions not only related problems, but also reflect loss som...

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary NPN levels on animal performance, diet digestibility, ruminal characteristics, and microbial efficiency. Experiment 1 was conducted with 24 Holstein x Nellore crossbred steers (350 +/- 20 kg of BW) distributed in 6 blocks to evaluate intake and digestibility of nutrients and performance. The diets consisted of 70% corn silage and 30% ...
