the effects of pre-treating different types of roughages with alkali on the efficacy of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes for improving their digestibility were studied in vitroin factorial arrangement 4 × 3 × 5 (enzyme, treatment and roughage types). two fibrolytic feed enzymes novozyme (n) and celloclast (c) their combination (n+c) were evaluated for their potential to improve in vitrodegradation ...

the nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (pe) was evaluated by in situ and in vitro techniques. chemical analysis indicated that pe was high in crude protein (11.30%) and low in neutral detergent fiber (26.20%). total phenols, total tannins, condensed tannins and hydrolysable tannins contents in pe were 8.29%, 4.48%, 0.49% and 3.79%, respectively. ruminal dry matter and crude protein degradatio...

The aim of this study was to determine the most optimal heating time in protection of protein rich feedstuff on digestibility and in vitro ruminal fermentation profile. Proteinous feedstuffs used in this study is soybean meal (Glycine max). This study is designed using one way ANOVA, with five treatments of heating time (T0 (control)= unheated, T1= 10 min, T2= 20 min, T3= 30 m...

This study was aimed to evaluate the correlation between in vitro fermentation and in situ degradation parameters and to predict dry matter degradability and energy protein synchronization of roughage based diets. Different inclusion of roughage in diets [roughage 50% diet (R50D), roughage 60% diet (R60D), roughage 65% diet (R65D) and roughage ...

current ruminant feeding systems depend on knowledge of the composition of feeds and the rate and extent of degradation of feed organic matter (om) and crude protein (cp) in the rumen. the effect of storage and preparation of samples on in vitro gas production and fermentation characteristics of two common forage species, namely alfalfa and ryegrass werestudied. samples were prepared as fresh (...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a bacterial inoculant and chemical additives on nutrient composition, in vitro degradation, total loss, aerobic stability, microbiological quality, and fermentative profile of sugarcane silage. Treatments were distributed to forty-eight mini-silos in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement: two levels of microbial inoculant (INO, 0 or 4 g/t of fresh s...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of electron beam (eb) and gamma ray (gr) radiations at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy on ruminal degradation kinetics of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp),andin vitro digestibility of canola meal (cm). the nylon bag technique and in vitro two step method were used for this aim. gr decreased ruminal degradability of dm (p<0.05), but eb had no ...
