Hot topic: Apparent total-tract nutrient digestibilities measured commercially using 120-hour in vitro indigestible neutral detergent fiber as a marker are related to commercial dairy cattle performance [PDF]
Measuring individual feed nutrient concentration is common practice for field dairy nutritionists. However, accurately measuring nutrient digestibility and using digestion values in total digestible nutrients models is more challenging. Our objective was to determine if in vivo apparent total-tract nutrient digestibility measured with a practical ...

Assessment of indicators and collection methodology to estimate nutrient digestibility in buffaloes
Dry fecal matter production was estimated from neutral detergent indicators on indigestible fiber, indigestible acid detergent fiber, indigestible dry matter, incubated for 144 hours and 288 hours, as well as chromium oxide (Cr2O3) and enriched and ...

Dietary Cassava Roots Modified by Heat-Moisture Treatment Improve Performance, Glucose Metabolism, and Carcass Yield in Fattening Goats. [PDF]
Background Heat‐moisture–treated cassava roots (HMC) offer a promising nutritional strategy to enhance energy supply and nutrient utilization in fattening goats, primarily by modifying the starch structure to increase the resistant starch content. However, a comprehensive evaluation of its effects on performance, metabolism, and meat quality remains ...

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

Indigestible neutral detergent fiber evaluation with incubation in different species
We aimed to evaluate indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) feed concentration after cattle, goat, and sheep ruminal incubation, compare results with different estimate methods and connect with chemical analysis data. Four forages (corn silage, sugarcane, Brachiaria decumbens cv. Marandu, and Panicum maximum cv. Tanzânia), two concentrates (ground

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