Yearling cattle (n = 25; 416.1 +/- 25.9 kg) were stratified by weight and gender across five groups. Group 1 (OAT) was offered oat/rape haylage (ORH) for ad libitum consumption during two daily feeding periods. Group 2 (SPURGE) was offered leafy spurge/grass haylage (LSGH) for ad libitum consumption during the same feeding periods. Group 3 was offered ORH in an amount equal to the average amoun...

In a 2×2 factorial design, 12 Thai Native and 12 Holstein bulls were fed ad libitum a total mixed ration (20 : 80; roughage : concentrate) with whole cottonseed (WCS) or sunflower seed (SFS) as oilseed sources. The rations contained 7% crude fat and were fed for 90 days. Plasma was taken at three times during the experiment, and at slaughter the longissimus dorsi and subcutaneous fat were sampl...

a complete diet (total mixed ration) with sorghum stover (40%) as sole roughage source was prepared and offered to animals under two forms: as mash or as expanded-extruded pellets (eep). these two complete diets were compared with a conventional diet (ad libitum chopped sorghum stover fed separately with concentrate mixture to meet 80% of protein requirements). these three diets were randomly a...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) leaf supplementation in fermented kumpai grass (Hymenachne amplexia calis) based rations on the productivity of Bali cattle. Variables measured were dry matter and organic matter intakes, nutrient digestibility (dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and crude fiber), body weight gain, and feed efficiency. T...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of commercial live bakery’s’ yeast( saccharomyces cerevisiae ), (marketed as amax), on growth and survival of persian sturgeon( acipenser persicus) larvae (74.9 ± 9.7mg) during 30 days. sturgeon larvae were fed on daphnia magna enriched at three suspensions of yeast, amax, (0, 50, 100, and 150 mg yeast per litter). the feeding level was 30 perce...

This study was carried out to determine the impact of type of protein supplementation to the ration on pubertal characteristics of male goat kids. Eighteen crossbred (Nubian × Saanen) weaned male goat kids were distributed to 3 ration groups. Group I (n=6) was kept on a ration supplemented with ground nut cakes, group II (n=6) on a ration supplemented with sesame cakes and group II (n=6) on a r...

This study aimed to determine milk production and efficiency of feed utilization a mixed mineral-enriched essential oils supplementation lactating dairy cows. Forty-eight Holstein-Friesian cows with 3.45±0.58 body condition score 187.08±21.53 days in were randomly allocated two dietary treatments for 46 days. Treatments consisted no (CON) or (AGB) 0.5% Agromix Booster® the Total Mix Ration (TMR...
