  • 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...

  • Effects of saponin-containing extracts on fat digestibility, growth, and nutrient availability in domestic fowl

    Creator:
    Hix, Rebecca J.
    Abstract:
    Numerous properties of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria have been studied with respect to the saponins in the plant. These saponins are present in the extract as well and have been utilized commercially in the food and cosmetic industry for various products. Saponins have detergent-like properties in the presence of...

  • 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...

  • Potential new protein sources for monogastric animals

    Creator:
    Kinzell, John Harold
    Abstract:
    A series of four trials was conducted to evaluate activated sewage sludge (AcSS) as a protein source. In the first trial the protein efficiency ratio (PER) of sun-dried and auto-claved, sun-dried AcSS was measured with rats. Growth of AcSS-fed rats was extremely poor as compared to those rats fed casein,...

  • 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...

  • Evaluation of tropical forages and by-product feeds for rabbit production

    Creator:
    Raharjo, Yono C.
    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),...
