Journal ArticleDOI
Ruminal Fermentation, Milk Production Efficiency, and Nutrient Digestibility of Lactating Dairy Cows Receiving Fresh Cassava Root and Solid Feed-Block Containing High Sulfur
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fresh cassava root (CR) and a solid feed-block containing sulfur (S-FB) on fermentation in the rumen, feed utilization, milk yield, and milk composition in lactating dairy cows were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of diet and frequency of watering on rumen degradability and outflow rate of low-quality veld hay and dry-matter apparent digestibility in steers given food at maintenance
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of water restriction on rumen degradability and outflow rate of low quality veld hay and dry-matter apparent digestibility was investigated in four rumen cannulated Tuli × Friesian steers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substituting corn silage with reconstituted forage or nonforage fiber sources in the starter diets of Holstein calves: effects on performance, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolites.
TL;DR: Calves, in general, were healthy, and replacing CS with RAH or RBP in the starter diet had no beneficial effect on their feed intake or growth performance indicating that CS and reconstituted AH or BP can be used interchangeably in dairy calf starter diets until 70-d of age, allowing dairy producers more choices in selecting the feed ingredients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digestion and live-weight gain by beef cattle consuming bermudagrass supplemented with grain or different high-protein foodstuffs.
TL;DR: In this article, two experiments were made to determine the effects on digestion characteristics and liveweight gain of cattle consuming bermudagrass of supplementing with ground maize, soya-bean meal or a maizegluten mix alone or maize plus protein supplements.
Improvement of nutrient utilization efficiency, ruminal fermentation and lactational performance of dairy cows by use of birdsfoot trefoil
TL;DR: Improvement of Nutrient Utilization Efficiency, Ruminal Fermentation and Lactational Performance of Dairy Cows by Feeding Birdsfoot Trefoil is studied.
