The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of replacing coastcross hay NDF by soybean hull (SH) NDF on the lactation performance and eating behavior of ewes and also on the performance of their lambs. Fifty-six Santa Inês lactating ewes (56.1 +/- 6.8 kg of initial BW; mean +/- SD) were penned individually and used in a randomized complete block design with 14 blocks and 4 trea...

Résumé. Dans ce papier, nous proposons une approche de détection de nouveauté fondée sur les opérateurs de projection orthogonale et l’idée de double bootstrap (bibootstrap). Notre approche appelée Random Subspace Novelty Detection Filter (RS-NDF), combine une technique de rééchantillonnage et l’idée d’apprentissage d’ensemble. RS-NDF est un ensemble de filtres NDF (Novelty Detection Filter), i...

Prediction of carbohydrate fractions using equations from the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) is a valuable tool to assess the nutritional value of forages. In this paper, these carbohydrate fractions were predicted using data from three sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cultivars, fresh or as silage. The CNCPS equations for fractions B2 and C include measurement of ash and p...

Seven legume straws (Cicer arietinum, Vicia benghalensis, Vicia sativa, Vicia villosa, Vicia faba, Lens culinaris and Pisum sativum) were studied in rumen-cannulated rams. The chemical composition of the studied legume straws varied from 4.3 to 10.1% for ash, 6.1 to 11.4% for CP, 58.0 to 76.5% for NDF, 40.3 to 59.6% for ADF and 8.2 to 14.2% for ADL. Extent of degradation for DM and NDF by the n...

This study sought to examine layer-specific longitudinal and circumferential systolic and diastolic strain, strain rate (SR) and diastolic time intervals in hypertensive patients with and without diastolic dysfunction. Fifty-eight treated hypertensive patients were assigned to normal diastolic function (NDF, N = 39) or mild diastolic dysfunction (DD, N = 19) group. Layer-specific systolic and d...

Four ruminally cannulated buffalo bulls (300 kg) were fed mottgrass diets using a 4 4 Latinsquare design. Treatments consisted of mottgrass fertilized with 0 or 110.4 kg N/ha and harvested at 40 (ECM) and 60 (LCM) days. Fertilization increased the concentrations of crude protein (CP) and fibre contents. The CP contents of the mottgrass decreased and fibre contents increased with advancing matur...

A 84 day experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of sodium diformate NDF ® as commercial feed additives on growth performance and feed utilization of hybrid tilapia (♀ O. niloticus X ♂ O. aureus) fingerlings. Four treatments were applied; three levels of NDF ® (1 g kg -1 , 3 g kg -1 and 5 g kg -1 ) in addition to the control. The experimental diets containing (320 g kg -1 crude protein ...

Choline is usually supplemented as ruminally protected choline chloride to prevent its degradation in the rumen, but effects of unprotected on ruminal fermentation are unclear. Some research indicates a possible role dietary fiber microbial choline; therefore we aimed evaluate and investigate whether those depend neutral detergent (NDF) concentration. Our hypothesis was that NDF concentration w...
