Prediction of total fecal output in sheep fed silage using the Captec chrome controlled-release capsule

TL;DR: The controlled-release Cr2O3 bolus is a better marker than acid-insoluble ash for predicting fecal output of silage-fed wethers and can be compared within a marker with total fecal collection values using a paired t-test.

Utilization of canola seed fractions in ruminant feeds

TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of fibre-protein and can-sugar was used as an additive to dehydrated alfalfa pellet and two dairy cow trials were conducted to determine the palatability and examine effect on lactation performances of blended alfa pellet feeding in comparison with standard alfa pellets.

Effects of enzymatic treatment and shell content of palm kernel expeller meal on performance, nutrient digestibility, and ileal bacterial population in broiler chickens

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of enzymatic treatment and shell content of palm kernel expeller meal (PKE) on the performance, nutrient digestibility, and ileal bacteria population in broiler chickens.

Effects of Feeding Different Amounts of Milk Replacer on Growth Performance and Nutrient Digestibility in Holstein Calves to 4 Months of Age Using Different Weaning Strategies

TL;DR: It is suggested that providing calves high amounts of MR preweaning enhanced readily available nutrient dC, but providing moderate amounts ofMR resulted in increased fibrous fraction dC.
