The effect of various additives on nutritive value of ryegrass straw silage

Creator:

Shultz, Thomas Anthony

Abstract:

Observations were made on silage pH, chemical composition and 24hr in vitro dry matter digestion (IVDMD) to evaluate effects of various additives ensiled with annual ryegrass straw. Additives were compared in factorial designed trials utilizing .95 1 glass jar silos. Selection of additives used in each subsequent trial was based...

Ruminant and microbial physio-chemical response to abrupt ration changes as influenced by chemical and/or biological means

Creator:

Patton, Westley R.

Abstract:

Three trials with wethers and four trials with steers were conducted to determine some of the effects of sodium bicarbonate, calcium hydroxide and/or transfer of ruminal contents on ruminant adjustment to abrupt changes to concentrate rations. Lambs fed a basal concentrate diet plus sodium bicarbonate had the highest average feed...
