Feed Intake and in Vivo Digestibility of Dominant Forage of Natural Pasture Supplemented with Acacia albida Leaves in Arab Ewes
A study on the feed intake and in vivo digestibility of dominant forages on natural pasture supplemented with Acacia albida
leaves in Arab ewes was conducted from September to October 2020 at the small ruminant station of the Livestock Research
Institute for Development (IRED) in N'Djamena, Chad. Sixteen (16) Arab ewes were divided into four groups of four animals
each and housed in individual metabolic cages. The adaptation and data collection (urine and feces) periods were 14
and 6 days, respectively
In Vitro Digestibility and Gas Production from E. crus-pavonis used in Wetlands from Domestic Wastewater Treatment
In order to evaluate the possibilities of valorisation as feed of the plant biomass produced during wastewater treatment in
constructed wetlands, a study of the in vitro digestibility and gas production of Echinochloa crus-pavonis was carried out in
the Laboratory of Animal Production and Nutrition of the University of Dschang. The in vitro digestibility of Echinochloa
crus-pavonis was evaluated at different harvesting periods
In vitro Digestibility of Indian Bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) Leaves Associated with Stylosanthes guianensisin Ruminants
The study of the in vitrodigestibility of Indian bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) leaves associated with Stylosanthes guianensisin ruminants
was conducted in April 2019 in the Animal Production and Nutrition Research Unit of the University of Dschang. A bovine ruminal
fluid, a source of energy (B. vulgaris) and a nitrogen source (S.guianensis) with or without polyethylene glycol (PEG) were used. A
sample of rations based on B. vulgarisassociated with 0; 20 and 30% of S.guianensis, with or without PEG was removed, dried and
milled to determine the chemical composition and evaluation of in vitrodigestibility. Results of this study showed that the addition
of legume increased the total nitrogen content (MAT) (12.87, 13.03 and 13.56% DM) when the B. vulgariswas associated with 0; 20
and 30% S.guianensis.
Effects of Treated Banana Peel Meal on the Feed Efficiency, Digestibility and Cost Effectiveness of Broiler Chickens Diet
The study was conducted to investigate effect and the nutritive value of treated banana peel meal at substitutionary levels for maize and other ingredients on the feed efficiency, digestibility and cost effectiveness on broiler chickens diet. A total of one hundred and eighty (180) Arbor Acres broilers were randomly distributed into four treatment groups of 0%-control, 10, 20 and 30% inclusion of treated banana peel meal as T0, T10, T20 and T30 treatments respectively.
