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...
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...
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...
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...
This study was conducted to investigate the production and processing technology of common ryegrass screenings and to determine
the nutritive value of these screenings for sheep. The animal response
to them was assessed when the sheep were fed on the screenings
alone and in combination with other feedstuffs.
Four in...
