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...

There are limited data on the DE and ME values and the digestibility of fiber in canola meal, rapeseed meal, and rapeseed expellers fed to pigs. This experiment was conducted to measure the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy, ADF, and NDF and to calculate DE and ME values in canola meal, 00-rapeseed meal, and 00-rapeseed expellers fed to growing pigs. Twenty-three barrows (init...

Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm xác định lượng ăn vào và khả năng tiêu hóa lá sắn dây (Pueraria thomsoni Benth.) vông (Erythrina variegate L.) của thỏ lai (New Zealand x Địa Phương). Mười sáu đực bố trí ngẫu nhiên 2 nghiệm thức với 8 lần lặp lại. Ở mỗi thức, tương ứng 100% hoặc dạng tươi. Kết quả thu cho thấy trong cả giai đoạn thí ở giống nhau (p>0,05). Tỷ lệ vật chất khô (DM), hữu cơ (OM), ...

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...

A study was conducted to find out the Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in terms of cellulose, hemicellulose, Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF) and phytate phosphorus content of locally available poultry feed ingredients in and around Namakkal area. The mean NDF (%) of feed ingredients varied from 9.55 in maize and 11.64 in soyabean meal (SBM) to 45.88 in sunflower meal (...

Continuous chromatographic separator techniques have allowed the extraction of more simple sugars from molasses (MOL). The resultant byproduct, concentrated separator byproduct (CSB), has reduced readily fermentable carbohydrates but elevated CP and mineral content. The feed value of CSB was compared to that of MOL in two separate trials. In Trial 1, a chopped forage mixture containing 8 4 O/O ...

Forage quality has a large impact on market price and profitability. Nationwide, the marketing systems of Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) and Relative Feed Value (RFV) are primarily ‘fiber-based’ marketing systems, since they depend upon Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) and Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) lab measurements. Average change in California markets over 8 years of market reports in Californ...

Laboratory, digestion and growth studies were used to evaluate energy and protein supplements for ammoniated (4% of the forage DM) stargrass (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis) hay. Ammoniation increased (P less than .05) total N concentration (.7 to .9% vs 1.7 to 2.0%) and in vitro digestion of OM, NDF and ADF and reduced (P less than .05) NDF concentration of stargrass hay. Two d...

The major aim of this study was to compare the morphology and activity of rumen protozoa of Khuzestan water buffalo and Holstein cow using in vitro digestibility and gas production parameters of steam treated sugarcane pith. Rumen fluid obtained from two buffalo and cow steers fed the same diet, 30:70 concentrate: forage. To separate rumen protozoa, antibiotic solution and fungicides were added...

The native forage, false Rhodes grass [Leptochloa crinita (Lag.) P.M. Peterson and N.W. Snow], represents an important component of the arid semi-arid rangelands Americas, due to its large area distribution tolerance drought cattle grazing. Precise information on nutritive value factors that influence this trait is relevant for effective utilization as a forage in regions world. Here, we charac...
