A series of factorial experiments (4 x 4 and 4 x 4 x 4) was designed
to investigate the effects of selected combinations of some
major and trace elements upon in vitro rumen cellulose digestion.
Inocula, varying in ratios of clarified rumen fluid (strained through
No. 50 cheesecloth and centrifuged...
This study involved the use of the two-choice preference test to determine the taste responses of eight, each, of pygmy goats, normal goats, sheep and cattle to ascending concentrations of sucrose (Suc), sodium chloride (NaC1), acetic acid (HAc) and quinine hydrochloride (QHCI). In addition, sheep and cattle were tested at...
This study involved the use of the two-choice preference test,
where the choices were tap water and tap water-chemical solutions,
to determine the responses of sheep to ascending concentrations of
20 chemicals (taste stimulants). The chemicals tested were: the
sugars, sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, fructose and galactose;
the sodium salts...
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feeding value
and potential toxicity of single cell protein (SCP) when fed to
ruminants.
Three in vivo digestibility trials with lambs, one feedlot trial
with steers and one long term feeding trial of high levels of SCP with
sheep were conducted...
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...
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...
