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...
Two digestibility trials using sheep were conducted to determine
the digestibility coefficients of a commercially processed NaOH treated
annual ryegrass straw cube. Comparisons were made with loose, chopped
ryegrass straw and a ryegrass straw cube processed with molasses as a
binder.
The NaOH cubed straw was produced by spraying a...
Several experiments involving broilers, chicks, layers, roosters,
poults and breeder turkeys were conducted with the primary objective
of examining research methods for evaluating poultry feed grains, their
additives and supplements. A secondary objective was to improve and
maximize the production responses of poultry fed locally grown grains.
Feed grain research...
A study was conducted during 1975 and 1976 to evaluate
the use of chemically cured pasture as a flushing feed for
ewes in western Oregon.
In 1975 (0.56 kg/ha) and 1976 (0.28 kg/ha) paraquat
was used to chemically cure hill pasture forage when perennial
ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and tall...
The results of research designed to develop a synthesized diet
as a substitute or supplement to algae for culturing the Miyagi strain
of juvenile Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg) are
reported. The growth of juvenile Pacific oysters fed equal amounts
(based on ash free dry weights [AFDW]) of algae (Pseudoisochrysis...
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 investigate the effects of
the by-product, ryegrass straw, and the feed additive, monensin, on the
performance of feedlot lambs.
Four pelleted rations were fed ad libitum: Ration 1 - 50% barley,
50% alfalfa hay; Ration 2 - 50% barley, 50% alfalfa hay and...
Two studies were conducted to compare lamb feedlot
performance and digestibility of nutrients by lambs fed
rations containing bird-resistant and bird-susceptible
sorghum grain with 20 or 40% tall fescue hay as a source
of roughage.
Four rations were fed ad libitum on the performance
study and at 80% of ad...
