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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nutrient Composition in Feed Supplements Used by Communal Beef Farmers During the Dry Season in Ga-Matlala, Limpopo ProvinceThapelo Rosina Monkwe, Masibonge Gxasheka, Busisiwe GunyaThis study assessed the nutrient composition of feed supplements commonly used by communal beef cattle farmers during the dry season in Limpopo Province of South Africa. A total of seven feed supplements, such as lucerne hay, maize stover, salt licks, calf grower, calf milk replacer, cattle feed pellets, and soybean meal, were sampled and analysed for proximate composition and mineral … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2026 · 1,651 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagement of Beef Cattle Production in Malaysia: A Step Forward to SustainabilityIbragimov Abdulla, Fatimah Mohamed Arshad, B.K. Bala et al.The beef cattle industry recorded progressive growth in the last two decades. Despite this growth, suppliers are having difficulty to meet the domestic demand for beef. Continued strong growth of beef cattle production capacity depends on supplier profitability, which in turn will be influenced by primarily on availability of feedstuffs that constitutes a large proportion of the cost of production. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 16 Sep 2016 · 8,282 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential, Implications and Solutions Regarding the Use of Rendered Animal Fats in AquafeedsJesse T. Trushenski, Rebecca T. LochmannProblem statement: In the past, aquafeeds were comprised largely of fish meal and fish oil derived from marine reduction fisheries. In addition to being highly palatable and readily digested by cultured fishes, these feedstuffs were historically inexpensive sources of protein, energy and essential nutrients. However, increasing cost and concerns over safety and sustainability have greatly incentivized the transition from fish … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 13,998 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of some by-Products using In situ and In vitro Gas Production TechniquesBesharati Maghsoud, Taghizadeh Akbar, Janmohammadi Hossein, Moghadam Gholam AliFood by-products in Iran are produced in high levels. In this study, in situ and in vitro gas production techniques were used to describe nutritive value of apple pomace, tomato pomace and noodle waste. For this purpose two ruminal fistulated sheep were used. Nylon bags which were approximately (6×12 cm) containing 5 g samples (2 mm screen) were incubated in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,945 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient Digestibility and Gas Production of Some Tropical Feeds Used in Ruminant Diets Estimated by the in vivo and in vitro Gas Production TechniquesPaya Hamid, Taghizadeh Akbar, Janmohammadi Hossein, Moghadam Gholam AliSome feedstuffs which used in ruminants diet (corn grain, soybean meal, wheat bran and alfalfa) were analyzed for chemical composition, apparent in vivo nutrient digestibility, in vitro fermentation gas production and metabolizable energy. Chemical composition of test feeds differed in nutrient contents. Initially apparent in vivo digestibility of alfalfa nutrients were obtained then digestibility of nutrients for the other test … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,667 accessesView PDF Cite
