  • In vitro and in vivo evaluations of chemically treated ryegrass straw

    Creator:
    Anderson, Daniel Craig
    Abstract:
    Seven in vitro trials were conducted to compare the effects of soaking annual ryegrass straw in solutions of sodium hydroxide (Na₄OH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH), or sodium formate (NaCHO₂) at varying levels. Dry matter digestibility (DDM) was the criterion used to measure treatment response. A 3 x 3...

  • 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...
