An experiment was conducted with four rumen-cannulated crossbred cows in a balanced 4x4 Latin square to study the effect of wilted tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) forage on rumen parameters and milk yield. The cows were fed a basal diet consisting of ad libitum native hay, mineral lick and wa...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of molasses, given at different times, on feed intake, digestibility, degradation of hay dry matter (DM) and rumen pool fermentation. Four ruminally fistulated Friesian X Boran crossbred non-lactating cows were given a basal diet of grass hay ...

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...

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...
