The paper evaluates the effects of the level of sugar cane molasses on feed intake, diet digestibility, DM degradation of grass hay, rumen pool sizes and rumen fermentation. Five ruminally fistulated crossbred cows were given a basal diet of grass hay ad libitum and cottonseed cake. The other fou...

This manual has been produced to standardise some analytical procedures at ILCA and among those NARS scientists who may be interested in the aspects of feed evaluation which the manual attempts to address. The first part of the manual is on determination of voluntary intake, digestion and retenti...
Carboxymethylcellulase (EC 3.2.1.4; CMCase) and xylanase(EC 3.2.1.8) activities were estimated in rumen fluid and from microbes closely associated with rumen particulate material or with feed particles incubated in nylon bags in the rumen of cattle. Cattle with a permanent rumen cannula and a sim...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of forage type and level of concentrate supplementation on forage intake, diet digestibility and milk production. Twenty-four crossbred cows (Bos taurus X Bos indicus), in early lactation, were allocated to the following six dietary treatments...

Thirty-six crossbred cows were used in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement in a randomized block design to evaluate forages from two cropping systems (1 and 2) and feeding levels (ad libitum, (Level1)) or 80 percent of ad libitum (Level 2) on milk yield, live weight, and reproductive performance. Crops...

Six cattle (3 Boran (Bos indicus) and 3 crossbred (Bos indicus X Bos taurus) were fasted for 20 days to estimate the effect of fasting on the excretion of nitrogen (N) and purine derivatives (PD) in the urine. PD excretion (y) for each genotype was related to time (t in days) by means of an expon...

The effects of two cropping systems (1 and 2) on grain and fodder yields and nutritive quality of the fodder were studied in a randomized complete block desgin experiment over a period of two cropping years. Crops and crop combinations in system 1 were oat-vetch, wheat-trifolium, teff straw, and ...
