the aim of present experiment was to investigate the feeding value of wild pistachio leaf (khinjuk leaf, kl) for arabi sheep. the digestibility and fermentation of diets containing different amounts of khinjuk (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%) were measured. then, the effect of presence of kl in the diet and its tannin content on the digestibility of alfalfa hay (alfa), wheat straw (ws) and soybea...

Background.  In Ghana, faecal sludge (FS) from on-site sanitation facilities is often discharged untreated into the environment, leading to significant insults to environmental and human health. Anaerobic digestion offers an attractive pathway for FS treatment with the concomitant production of energy in the form of methane. Another innovative option includes separating digestion into acidogene...

this experiment aimed to investigate the effect of (zero, 20, 40 and 60 mg/kg atriplex forage) malva sylvestris on digestibility and microbial fermentation of atriplex in one-humped camel. fermentation parameters by gas production technique and in vitro digestibility by two-stage digestion were measured by two years old female fistulated camels. addition 40 and 60 mg/kg malva sylvestris increas...

The present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. Grapefruit pulp (GP), lemon pulp (LE), lime pulp (LI) and orange pulp (OP) were the test feed. Digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction and acid detergent fiber (ADF) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the <e...

The digestion and utilization of roughage by sheep depends on rumen digestion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbe quantity and fermentative efficiency of rumen supplement with molasses-urea. This experiment was conducted in 2014, eight sheep were selected and divided into two groups (a control group and a treatment group), and only the treatment group animals were supplied with m...

the present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. grapefruit pulp (gp), lemon pulp (le), lime pulp (li) and orange pulp (op) were the test feed. digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (ndf) fraction and acid detergent fiber (adf) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the in...

We quanti®ed the effect of dietary non®ber carbohydrate (NFC) concentration (30, 35, 40, or 45% of DM) on in vitro digestion kinetics of neutral detergent ®ber (NDF) from alfalfa and corn silages at pH 5.8 or 6.8. The objective was to simulate the effect of diets differing in effective ®ber content on the optimal NFC-to-NDF ratio that resulted in maximal ®ber digestion. Ash-free NDF was determi...
