Effect of Supplemented Spent Mushroom Substrate (Pleurotus ostreatus) on Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, Nitrogen Balance, and Blood Metabolites of Goats. [PDF]

Anim Sci J
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effects of Pleurotus ostreatus spent mushroom substrate (SMS), supplemented with 4% urea and 18% molasses, as a partial replacement for Napier grass. Four dietary treatments were formulated with 70% roughage (Napier grass) and 30% concentrate, replacing Napier grass with SMS at 0%, 20%, 35%, or 50% inclusion levels.

<i>Lycium barbarum</i> Byproducts Modulate Rumen Fermentation, Enhance Digestive Enzyme Activity, and Improve Immune and Antioxidant Status in Grazing Sheep. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Lycium barbarum byproducts (seeds and residue) in sheep diets increased acetic and propionic acid, digestive enzyme activity, and beneficial bacteria (Prevotella). Immune status (TP, ALB, GLB) and antioxidant capacity (SOD, GSH‐PX) improved, while waste metabolites (UA, BUN) and oxidative stress (MDA) decreased.

Effects of dietary brown propolis on nutrient intake and digestibility in feedlot lambs

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2014
The present study tested brown propolis in crude or extract form as a feed supplement for feedlot lambs to identify the type that most improves in vivo nutrient digestibility. Digestibility was assessed by both total fecal collection and internal markers

Chemical composition and dry matter digestibility of sugar cane oxide treated with calcium

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2014
The aim of this study was to identify the most adequate level of calcium oxide (CaO) in the treatment of sugar cane by evaluating the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of dry matter. The sugar cane was homogenized with CaO levels 0, 0.75, 1.

Evidence for a Trade-Off Strategy in Stone Oak (Lithocarpus) Seeds between Physical and Chemical Defense Highlights Fiber as an Important Antifeedant [PDF]

, 2014
Trees in the beech or oak family (Fagaceae) have a mutualistic relationship with scatter-hoarding rodents. Rodents obtain nutrients and energy by consuming seeds, while providing seed dispersal for the tree by allowing some cached seeds to germinate ...
