Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Determination of Buffering Capacity of Some Ruminant's Feedstuffs and their Cumulative Effects on TMR RationA. MoharreryTwo experiments have been conducted in order to investigate the buffering capacity of some ruminant's feedstuffs and their additivity to calculate ration buffering capacity as a tools for feed formulation. The first experiment was performed with different types (65 samples) of feedstuffs to determine the Buffering Capacity (BC) and Buffer Value Index (BVI). For investigation of cumulative effects of buffering … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Wheat Bran, EM Bacteria, Ammonium Nitrate and Fungal Additives on Fermentation and Forage Quality of Rice Straw SilageBin Yang, Jiahuan Liu, Dongmei Ma et al.The global ruminant industry is constrained by a persistent shortage of high-quality roughage, thus rendering the bioconversion of agricultural residues, such as rice straw, a critical priority. Nevertheless, the high lignification, silicification, and nitrogen deficiency of rice straw pose significant biological barriers to traditional ensiling. This study investigated the impact of various additives on rice straw silage quality. Six treatments … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2026 · 642 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractRumen Microbiota Mysteries: Nutrition, Function, and its Impact on Livestock ProductivityHamdi Mayulu, Marry ChristiyantoRuminants are important herbivores in the global food system, serving as primary producers of meat and milk. The productivity of these animals is influenced by the functionality of their digestive organs, namely rumen. The digestion, metabolism and nutrients absorption in the rumen epithelium enhance the host defende mechanisms mechanisms, promoting health and productivity in ruminants. Therefore, this review aimed to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2025 · 4,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRed-Green-Blue Color Analysis Concerning Rice Husk Incorporation in Rice BranIman Hernaman, Urip Rosani, Tidi Dhalika et al.We aimed to determine rice husks incorporated in rice bran by using Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color. Rice bran and rice husk samples were analyzed for crude protein and lignin and mixed at a ratio of 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50. The phloroglucinol-HCl was added to the samples into Petri dishes and photographed with a smartphone to get RGB pixel … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 30 May 2024 · 5,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Rumen Fermentability of the Pelleted Feed Containing Water Spinach (Ipomoea aquatica)Himmatul Hasanah, Eko Pangestu, Ali Agus, Joelal AchmadiAn in vitro technique based on two stages of batch culture was used to clarify fermentability and digestibility of pellet feed containing water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica). The portion of Pennisetum purpureum in the pellet feed was substituted with Ipomoea aquatica at respective levels of 0% (T1), 20% (T2), 40% (T3) and 60% (T4). The treatments were allocated in a completely … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2020 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
