  • 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...

  • Evaluation of low quality roughages and agricultural by-products as livestock feed

    Creator:
    Hussain, Imdad
    Abstract:
    Nine feeding trials and four laboratory scale experiments were conducted in this study. The study consisted of: (1) use of grass straw:corn juice (CJ) silages with fishmeal and/or alfalfa hay supplementation in beef heifers, sheep, pregnant dairy heifers, water buffaloes and Hereford cows; (2) use of cull onions:grass straw silages...

  • Utilization of processed alfalfa meals by monogastric animals

    Creator:
    Myer, Robert O.
    Abstract:
    In part one, levels of dehydrated alfalfa meal greater than 60% of the diet significantly (P < 0.01) reduced the growth of rats fed isocaloric diets. Purified cellulose fed to provide the same amount of acid detergent fiber as contributed by the alfalfa did not affect growth. Feed intake was...

  • Utilization of high roughage diets by rabbits

    Creator:
    Pote, Linda Marie Wayland.
    Abstract:
    A series of experiments were conducted to determine the utilization of fibrous feeds by the rabbit. A review of literature was performed to ascertain the results of similar studies. The first two experiments involved various levels of alfalfa substituted for corn or barley. Results indicated that a 50 percent alfalfa...

  • Forage utilization by rabbits

    Creator:
    Harris, David Joseph
    Abstract:
    Several experiments were conducted to evaluate various forages and forage levels for use in rabbit diets. Several tropical forages were evaluated for their potential in feeding rabbits. One of the tropical forages, Desmodium distortum produced better growth performance than alfalfa meal. The tropical forages were used to derive prediction equations...

  • Dietary factors influencing enteric disorders of rabbits

    Creator:
    Grobner, Mark A.
    Abstract:
    An extensive literature review into the causes and controls of diarrhea was followed by three weanling rabbit performance trials to examine the influence of dietary modifications on diarrhea in the rabbit. In the first set of experiments, the ion exchangers clinoptilolite (0, 1.5 and 3.0%) and sodium bentonite (0 and...

    Abstract:
    An evaluation was made on the nutritive value of tropical forages and by-product feeds for rabbit production. Digestibility of nutrient fractions, feed preferences, growth, combination of forages, supplementation of micro and macro nutrients and/or effects of drying temperature on the quality of four groups of forages, namely woody legumes (WL),...
