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...

In livestock nutrition, summative models (SM) are displacing empirical models as a preferred method to predict energy content of forages. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to determine nutrient subcomponents required of SM on overall ability to predict energy content of corn and legume-grass silages. Corn (n = 90) and ...

A study was conducted to characterize the carbohydrate and protein fractions of barley-based distillers grains (BDG) derived from a mix of 70% barley, 20% wheat and 10% rye/triticale. Amino acid composition, ruminal escape protein and amino acid values, and ruminal nutrient degradability of BDG were determined relative to wheat-based distillers' grains (WDG) derived from 100% wheat. On a dry ma...

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...

Legume and grass silage samples (n = 121) were collected from commercial forage testing laboratories (trial 1). Samples were dried at 55 degrees C for 48 h, ground, scanned on a near-infrared reflectance spectrophotometer, and analyzed for crude protein (CP), soluble CP, acid detergent fiber (ADF) CP, and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) CP by wet chemistry methods. Sixty samples were selected for...

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the beneficial effect monensin, tannic acid and cinnamon essential oil addition on sesame meal degradability by three-step in vitro method. experimental additives rumen, after rumen whole gastrointestinal tract significant (P<0.05). ruminal intestinal digestibility crude protein with range 76 84% 49 60%, respectively. increased (about 10%). Addit...

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji dan mengevaluasi kandungan NDF, ADF tanin kulit pisang Goroho fermentasi. menggunakan métode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 6 perlakuan 5 ulangan. Perlakuan pakan terdiri dari P0: Kulit (KPG) tanpa fermentasi, P1: KPG fermentasi Rhizopus oligosphorus 0,3% diinkubasi 48 jam.

this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and degradability characteristics of a pasture plant salsola tomentosa by nylon bags method .the sampling was performed from the northern region of plain's gonabad city in three growth stages (vegetative, flowering and seeding). the samples dried in air, were milled and their chemical composition were determined. to determine the de...

A total of 1,480 pigs were used in 3 experiments to determine the effects of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) varying in oil content on growth performance, carcass traits, and nutrient digestibility in finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, 1,198 pigs (PIC Line 337 × 1050; initially 46.1 kg) were allotted to a corn-soybean meal-based diet or diets with 20 or 40% of a 5.4% oil DDGS (29.5% C...
