Evaluation of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) meal as a feedstuff for rabbits, poultry and sheep

Creator:: Throckmorton, John C.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is a winter annual oilseed crop native to the Pacific Coast states. Seven experiments were conducted to evaluate extracted meadowfoam meal (MFM) as a feedstuff for poultry, rabbits and sheep. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate MFM as a protein supplement for broiler chicks and weanling rabbits....

Lysine-arginine interrelationships and dried whey utilization in monogastric rations

Creator:: Stangel, Donald Earl
Abstract:: A series of eight trials was conducted to determine if supplementation with arginine improved growth of young rats, Japanese quail and swine fed low-lysine diets. In five rat trials, with a variety of basal diets, no evidence of a "sparing effect" of arginine on the lysine requirement was found. A...

Ryegrass straw and whole corn plant pellets as alternative roughages for horses

Creator:: Schurg, William Alan
Abstract:: This study involved three separate experiments employing a total of 29 horses and 4 rabbits. The purpose of these studies was to investigate the use of various quantities and forms of ryegrass straw in horse rations, and to determine the use of whole corn plant pellets as an alternative roughage...

Effect of barley pretreatment on feeding behavior, rate and efficiency of gains for swine

Creator:: Gill, Donald Ralph
Abstract:: A series of four animal experiments utilizing 129 pigs and associated laboratory studies was conducted to study the causes of the lowered performance on high barley rations fed to swine. Previous work at this Station has shown barley to have a value of 80-85 percent of corn for swine, and...

Involvement of inorganic and organic components in the laxative effect of cane final molasses

Creator:: Campbell, Michael Dennis
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of inorganic and organic components of molasses on the laxative problem encountered when molasses makes up a large portion of livestock rations. In a series of four trials 280 male Long Evans rats weighing approximately 50 grams each were placed...

Response of market hogs to periodic changes among nutritionally similar rations

Creator:: Hamstreet, John Leslie, 1940-
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted during the period November 1967 to November 1968 at Oregon State University (OSU) and the Umatilla Branch Experiment Station (BES) at Hermiston, two trials at each location, to answer several questions: (1) could comparable rations for swine be formulated by a computer on a least-cost basis;...

Energy-protein relationships in high-fat rations for growing-finishing swine

Creator:: Pate, Findlay Moye
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted with 48 Yorkshire x Berkshire crossbred barrows to evaluate the influence of varying Calorie: protein ratios in high-fat rations on performance and carcass quality of growing-finishing swine. Pigs were individually fed rations containing three levels of fat (lard): 0, 15 and 30 percent. Each fat level...

Biochemical evaluation of silage corn varieties

Creator:: Anderson, Daniel Craig
Abstract:: Chemical and biological evaluations were conducted to provide chemical composition and digestibility information, in addition to yield data, for silage corn varieties produced on poorly drained Dayton soil series. Each variety was subjected to a Kjeldahl nitrogen, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, cell wall, and residual ash test. Subsequently...

In vitro and in vivo evaluations of chemically treated ryegrass straw

Creator:: Anderson, Daniel Craig
Abstract:: Seven in vitro trials were conducted to compare the effects of soaking annual ryegrass straw in solutions of sodium hydroxide (Na₄OH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH), or sodium formate (NaCHO₂) at varying levels. Dry matter digestibility (DDM) was the criterion used to measure treatment response. A 3 x 3...
