Two completely random digestion trials were conducted, each with 12 beef steers (325 kg initial weight), to measure changes in digestibilities of fat and of forage components when fat was added to diets containing 62 to 76% wheat straw. Trial 1 diets contained either no added fat or 6.3% added fat from whole cottonseed (30% of the diet), cottonseed oil or animal fat; diets were formulated to co...

an experiment was conducted to determine the optimal level of supplemental lysine in a corn-soybean mealcottonseed meal starter diet. three hundred and sixty day-old male chicks (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design (15 birds per each pen). a basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed nrc (1994) recommendations except for lysine. graded levels of supplemental lysine (0, 0.1, 0...

The energy values of 3 distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) derived from corn, triticale, and sorghum and 3 oil seed meals including canola meal (CM), cottonseed meal (CSM), and sunflower meal (SFM) were determined in 2 experiments. For both of experiments, 24 crossbred barrows (initial BW: 28.0 ± 1.60 and 28.0 ± 2.0 kg for Exp. 1 and 2, respectively) were grouped by weight into 6 block...

containing cottonseed hulls (12.5 percent) or a mixture of cottonseed hulls (5 percent) plus alfalfa meal (7.5 percent) as a,source of roughage. No marked effect of roughage source at this time or later in the feeding period was apparent (Table 4). The dry matter, starch and whole kernel percentages were higher later in the feeding trial, and pH was lower. Whether this difference is due to a re...

INTRODUCTION The provision of peer mentoring may improve tertiary education outcomes of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study evaluated the pilot year of the Curtin Specialist Mentoring Program (CSMP), a specialised peer mentoring program for university students with ASD aimed at improving self-reported well-being, academic success and retention in university studies. METHO...

We used 24 multiparous Holstein cows in 4 × 4 Latin square design to evaluate full-fat corn germ as a replacement for whole cottonseed and tallow in total mixed diets for lactating dairy cows. Experimental diets on a dry matter basis were: 1) control 3.5% fat; 2) whole cottonseed 5.1% fat; 3) tallow 5.1% fat; 4) full-fat corn germ 5.1% fat. Diets were fed as total mixed rations typical of that ...

Pima cotton production is increasing in the United States, but Pima cottonseed generally contains higher concentrations of the antinutritive pigment gossypol than conventional upland cottonseed. Heating promotes the reaction of gossypol with protein, reducing gossypol absorption and toxicity. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional value for dairy cattle of Pima cottonseed cak...

There are considerable differences in the basic feeds used by the Australian Pig Industry relative to those used overseas. Maize and soyabean meal form the basis of the USA and Canadian feeding systems, and barley and soyabean meal the basis of the feeding systems in Western Europe. In Australia, wheat, barley and sorghum are the major cereals fed, and meat and bone meal, soyabean meal, cottons...
