Indigestible neutral detergent fibers (iNDF) accurately predict forage digestibility when measured in situ. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of rumen incubation times on the estimated concentrations of iNDF for four forages (alfalfa hay, corn silage, wheat straw and orchard grass), four concentrates (barley grain, soybean meal, beet pulp and wheat bran) and two ...

Incubations were carried out with a batch culture system to study the effects of different N sources on the fermentation by ruminal micro-organisms from Merino sheep of two fibre substrates derived from feedstuffs that differed in their fermentation rate. The substrates were neutral-detergent fibre (NDF) from barley straw and sugarbeet pulp. N sources were ammonia (NH4Cl) and peptides (Tryptica...

In this study, two experiments were conducted to evaluate the total mixed ration with fermented feed (TMRF) and total mixed ration (TMR) by rumen in vitro fermentation and their effects on the growth performance and blood characteristics of Hanwoo steers. In experiment 1, three Hanwoo steers (600±47 kg), each permanently fitted with a ruminal cannula were used. In this experiment, three diets d...

Nitrogen explosive decompression pretreatment was tested on barley straw, aspen wood, and pine wood in a two-step approach. The approach aims to avoid the uncontrolled degradation of hemicellulose during recover high sugar yields from cellulose. Additionally, pretreated biomass filtered after each step with fine metal sieve so that fermentation hydrolysis inhibitors were removed. A total yield ...

European Union bioeconomy policy emphasizes that the production of renewable transportation fuels should replace fossil as much possible. In particular, utilization waste or side-stream lignocellulosic materials for fuel is highly recommended. Moreover, future crises forcing a reliance on locally available sources and energy may become increasingly common. Barley straw, common agricultural resi...

Using ileal digestible amino acids in feed optimising will intensify feed protein utilizing and decrease nitrogen excretion to the environment. The study determined the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) coefficients of amino acids in barley, wheat, oats, triticale, maize, and dehulled oats in the diets of 180 Ross broiler chickens (aged 24–35 days). The birds were fed semi-purified diets that ...

Environmentally safe ways are sought to prevent the accumulation and accelerate degradation of herbicide active substances in agricultural soil. This study aimed determine effectiveness finely-ground barley straw bentonite mitigating effects soil contamination with Successor T 550 SE. was applied following doses: 0, 0.73, 14.63 mg substance per kg. The spring were used at 10 g/kg. action these ...
