The object of this study was to observe the effect of tallow plus
urea in vitro and in vivo. The study was carried out in three parts;
an in vitro fermentation study, a metabolism trial and a feedlot trial.
The in vitro study was conducted using a 4 x 2...
Five sheep digestion trials with four animals per
treatment and three treatments per trial were conducted to
determine if feeding protected tallow and/or protein would
alter the deleterious effects of feeding urea and tallow
together. Apparent digestibility coefficients, nitrogen
retention and biological values were calculated.
An additional trial was also...
This study was designed to determine the relative
palatability of four varieties of ryegrass (Gulf, Ninak,
Charleston and Billion) based on their relative consumption
by cattle and to further evaluate the relationships between
daily consumption and individual nutrient components of
the grasses. Feedlot trials, chemical analyses for volatile
and nonvolatile...
Pangola digitgrass (Digitaria decumbens), Coastcross-
1 bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), and Kazungula
setaria (Setaria sphacelata cv Kazungula) were used in a
two-year study at the C.A.M.P.A. Training Center in
Tampico, Mexico. The objective of the study was to determine
the optimum stocking rate during the grazing season
on these species and...
The objectives of this study were to nutritionally evaluate various
feather and hair meals (FM, HM) as protein supplements for ruminants
and to study the in vitro/in vivo relationships of diets supplemented
with FM and HM.
In vitro (rumen and enzymes) studies, five in vivo digestion
trials and a feedlot...
