Range forage of Vicia variabilis, Astragalus spp., Medicago sativa, Prangos uloptera and Sanguisorba minor was sampled during three phenological stages from the controlled rangeland stations in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran. Samples were analyzed for the determination of Crude Protein (CP%), Ether Extract (EE), Crude Fiber (CF), total Ash, Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergen...

Abstract Soybean meal (SBM) is a common plant-based protein source in the swine industry. Its crude content 44 to 50%. However, presence of antinutritional factors such as high molecular weight, difficult digest proteins, phytate and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) limit its use pigs. We aimed fermentation approach improve nutrient value SBM. have screened, from different sources, identified b...

This study estimated the fermentation characteristics and nutrient value of corn-lablab bean mixture silages relative to corn silages. The effects of feeding corn-lablab bean mixture silages on nutrient apparent digestibility and milk production of dairy cows in northern China were also investigated. Three ruminally cannulated Holstein cows were used to determine the ruminal digestion kinetics ...
