The effect of grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (Quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (OMD) and in situ dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to deactivate the tannins. In vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...

Rice straw is an important roughage resource for ruminants in many rice-producing countries. In this study, a rice brittle mutant (BM, mutation in OsCesA4, encoding cellulose synthase) and its wild type (WT) were employed to investigate the effects of a cellulose synthase gene mutation on rice straw morphological fractions, chemical composition, stem histological structure and in situ digestibi...

objective: this study carried out to monitor the status of nutritional management and measuring difference between present and desired feeding system in dairy cattle of rural conditions of chaharmahal and bakhtiari. methods: 334 rural flocks consisting of 1442 dairy cows were selected from seven towns of this province. the experiment was lasted for in a year and using completely randomized desi...

the effect of grape pomace (vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (omd) and in situ dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to deactivate the tannins. in vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...

This study presents the chemical composition and in vitro fermentation of five diets with different forage (alfalfa) to concentrate (faba bean) (F:C) ratios, F0:C100, F25:C75, F50:C50, F75:C25, F100:C0 on a dry matter (DM) basis. Results indicate that the chemical composition in term of organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fi...

this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and degradability characteristics of a pasture plant salsola tomentosa by nylon bags method .the sampling was performed from the northern region of plain's gonabad city in three growth stages (vegetative, flowering and seeding). the samples dried in air, were milled and their chemical composition were determined. to determine the de...

intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...

This study was conducted to compare forage quality of two native halophytespecies Camphorosma monspeliaca and Limonium iranicum collected from Meighansaline rangelands near Arak city in center of Iran. Edible biomass of both species wassampled on three phonological stages (vegetative growth, full flowering and seedripening). Forage quality indices such as Crude Protein (CP), Dry Matter Digestib...
