The aim of this experiment was to decrease the rumen degradability rate of recycled poultry bedding (RPB) protein using pomegranate peel extract (PPE) as the tannin source. Furthermore, to study the effects of this processing method on nutrient digestibility, rumen…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of maize stover silage diets containing pig excreta (PE), poultry litter (PL) or urea as nitrogen (N) sources, and sugarcane molasses (MOL) or bakery by-products (BBP) as energy sources.…
The effect of alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment and urea supplementation on the feeding value of wheat straw was investigated in a 2 x 2 factorial experiment with sheep. Bales of wheat straw were dipped for a period of 24…
Urea ammoniation of wheat, oat and barley straw and oat hay. 2. Utilization by sheep. Wheat, oat and barley straw, as well as oat hay were ammoniated, using 55 g urea and 400 g moisture kg·1 roughage for a treatment…
Supplementation of untreated, urea-supplemented or urea-ammoniated wheat-straw diets with sources of readily fermentable energy (maize-meal; 0 and 20% of the total diet) and rumen-undegradable protein (fish-meal; 0 and 5% of the total diet) was investigated in a 3x2x2 factorial experiment,…
Mutton merino wethers (n = 16) fed either a low nitrogen (LN, with a crude protein [CP] content = 5.4%) or a medium nitrogen (MN, with CP = 10.3%) diet were subjected to two water treatments; either ad libitum or…
