Protein metabolism in the rumen of silage-fed steers: effect of fishmeal supplementation.
TL;DR: Evidence was obtained suggesting that the improvement in microbial protein synthetic efficiency with supplementary fishmeal was also due to the provision of a more continuous supply of nitrogenous substrates for microbial growth, as a result of hourly feeding and the use of L-[4,5-3H]leucine as a microbial marker is justified and its possible advantages over other markers are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of ammoniation on the nutritive value of wheat, barley and oat straws. II. Digestibility and energy value measurements in vivo and their prediction from laboratory measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, changes in energy value and digestibility in vivo of 22 samples of wheat, barley and oat straw following ammoniation (35 kg NH3 t−1DM) in a commercial oven were studied using sheep.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of differing forage:concentrate ratio and restricting feed intake on the energy and nitrogen utilization by beef cattle
TL;DR: In this article, the energy and nitrogen utilization by cattle offered diets differing in forageiconcentrate (F:C) ratio, but of equal metabolizable energy intake (MEI), were measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
The energetic efficiency of rumen microbial protein synthesis in cattle given silage-based diets
TL;DR: Two experiments are described, in each of which cattle were given diets consisting of wilted grass silage, either as the sole feed or with protein and/or cereal supplements, to study the apparent efficiency of rumen microbial protein synthesis in the reticulo-rumen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of tropical roughages and concentrate feeds in the rumen.
TL;DR: Degradation characteristics of four grasses, three leguminous fodder species, jack leaves, coconut meal and rice bran were studied using the nylon bag procedure and the rate of degradation (kd) for all components studied did not differ significantly between grasses.
