Associative effects in diets composed of alfalfa and corn-soybean concentrate fed to growing cashmere goats

  • 2021
  • Issue: 4
  • Volume: 51
L. Jin, H.Z. Sun, S.L. Li, D. Sang, C.Z. Zhang & C.H. Zhang Page: 444 - 451

The associative effects resulting from the proportions of neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and non-fibre carbohydrate (NFC) were explored and assessed by in vitro gas production. Total mixed rations (TMR) composed primarily of alfalfa and corn-soybean concentrate were fed to growing…

Comparison of analyses to predict ruminal fibre degradability and indigestible fibre in temperate grass silages

  • 2011
  • Issue: 3
  • Volume: 41
F. Jančík, V. Koukolová, P. Homolka & J. Haman Page: 297 - 308

The objective of this study was to compare the ruminal degradability of neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and indigestible NDF (INDF) between silages (n = 24) that originated from three different temperate grass species, i.e. Dactylis glomerata L., Festuca arundinacea L.…

Ruminal degradation and in vitro gas production characteristics of foliage from Atriplex species and Cassia sturtii

  • 2006
  • Issue: 5
  • Volume: 36
W.A. van Niekerk, Abubeker Hassen, P.J. Vermaak, N.F.G. Rethman and R.J. Coertze Page: 54 - 58

This study was undertaken to determine the degradation characteristics and in vitro gas production kinetics of drought tolerant shrubs (Cassia sturtii, Atriplex nummularia and three Atriplex canescens cultivars, viz. Santa Rita, Field Reserve 1 and Rincon) growing under South African…
