Four ruminally and duodenally cannualated heifers were used to study the ruminal degradation of cell wall constituents of barley (B), barley fibre (BF) and wheat mill rum (WMR) using the nylon bag technique. The subsequent postruminal degradation of the feeds and their rumen - undegraded residues...

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 ...

Four ruminal and duodenally cannulated heifers about 550 kg were used to study the intestinal N degradation of hay and grass silage. The animals were fed at maintenance hay or grass silage, without or with barley (0.70 X DM intake) in a 2 X 2 factorial design in 4 X 4 Latin square with periods of...

The effect of ensiling additives on ruminal and intestinal nylon bag degradation of grass silage cell wall constituents was studied. Herbage consisting of Dactylus glomerata and Phleum pratense was ensiled with the following commercial additives in small scale silos of 3m3. 1) AIV-2 containing 80...

An experiment was carried out with four rumen fistulated crossbred Friesian X Zebu lactating cows to evaluate the Na content of faeces as an indicator of Na deficiency in cattle. In addition, the effect of NaCl supplementation on the animal performance and rumen parameters was examined. The cows ...
