  • Hypervitaminosis A : effects on reproduction and interactions with pyrrolizidine alkaloids

    Creator:
    Moghaddam, Mehran Fallah
    Abstract:
    In the first experiment the minimum dietary toxic levels of vitamin A were determined in pregnant rabbits over three parities. The treatments consisted of basal diet plus 10,000, 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 IU/Kg added vitamin A. The basal diet was formulated to be free of vitamin A and beta-carotene; rice...

    Mathius, I-Wayan
    Abstract:
    Several studies have been conducted to examine the utilization of non-protein nitrogen by the New Zealand White rabbit. Soybean meal (SBM) or urea added to a low protein (13% CP) diet and a positive control diet were fed to does and their offspring during a nine month experiment. Urea and...

  • 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),...

  • 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...

    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...

  • Evaluation of bamboo as livestock forage and applications of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria products in agriculture

    Creator:
    Greenway, Stephanie L.
    Abstract:
    Byproducts of bamboo processing, such as leaves and branches, may have potential as a livestock feedstuff. The objectives of this study were to evaluate seasonal changes in proximate composition of several bamboo species and reed canarygrass, and subsequently determine the digestibility of bamboo in ponies. Monthly samples of Phyllostachys bissetii,...

  • 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 the toxicity of tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) in animals

    Creator:
    Swick, Robert Alphonso
    Abstract:
    Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort) is a poisonous plant responsible for livestock deaths in the Pacific Northwest. Horses and cattle are susceptible, while sheep are resistant to the toxic action of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids which the plant contains. Hepatic enzymes are responsible for the biotransformation of pyrrolizidine alkaloids into tissue damaging...
