Crossbred beef steers (n = 312) were used in an experiment with a completely randomized design during the growing (235 ± 1.6 kg initial BW) and finishing (363 ± 2.7 kg) phase to determine the effects of dietary CP concentration and rumen degradability on NH3-N emissions, growth performance, and carcass traits. Diets were barley based and consisted of 55% silage and 45% concentrate in the backgr...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) are often stored dry with 14% or less moisture, which during rainy periods may require that grains are dried after harvest. The hypothesis is that air-tight storage of high-moisture barley and wheat will increase nutrient digestibility due to chemical conversions prior to feeding. The objective was to evaluate the effect of high moisture co...

A metabolic disorder called diabetes mellitus is brought on by issues with insulin production, action, or both. Chronic hyperglycemia caused deficiency aberrant carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. Postprandial glucose level the after a meal. This test done to observe how body responds sugar carbohydrates eating. To lower postprandial in diabetic individuals, multigrain porridge has been...

The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, prevalence, severity, and risk factors for ruminal acidosis in feedlot steers during backgrounding, diet transition, and finishing. Steers were purchased from a local auction market (n = 250; mean ± SD; 330 ± 20.0 kg initial BW) and were grouped together with 28 steers fitted with a ruminal cannula (248 ± 25.5 kg initial BW). Steers we...

1. Two groups of four 18-month-old ewes fitted with a rumen cannula and re-entrant cannulas in the proximal duodenum were fed on one of two diets based on varying proportions of dried-grass meal, ground straw and barley. 2. The apparent availability, retention and amount of the mineral reaching the proximal duodenum were measured for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper and zinc. Significant ...

This study examined the efficiency of different organic waste materials as NPK fertilizer, in addition to the risk for leaching losses related to shower precipitation in the first part of the growing season. The experiment was tested in a pot trial on a sandy soil in a greenhouse. Six organic fertilizers were evaluated: liquid anaerobic digestate (LAD) sourced from separated household waste, ni...

I . Protein concentrates were prepared from freshly cut lucerne by the Pirie proccss and freeze-dried. When supplemented with methionine or cystine and given to rats as the sole sourcc of protein at 120 g protcinjkg diet, the adjusted mean protein efficiency ratio was 2.89 (casein standard at 2. jo). As a supplenient to protein from barley meal the lucerne leaf-protein concentrate (LPC) was sim...

In pasture-based dairy systems, feeding a complex concentrate mix in the parlor during milking that contains cereal grains and protein supplements has been shown to have milk production advantages over straight grain. This experiment had aim of testing whether further could be elicited by adjusting composition an attempt match expected nutrient intake from pasture late spring. The used 96 lacta...

The addition of concentrates of different types (cereals, maize and white sorghum) in the diet of dairy sheep leads to changes in rumen parameters and the end products of digestion in particular the total gas production. The objective of the present work was the determination of total gas and methane production (CH4) in the rumen of Sicilo Sarde rams supplemented by different types of concentra...
