Roughage and Dietary Influence on Liver Abscesses
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2022Many researchers have evaluated different nonantibiotic, dietary interventions to reduce liver abscessation including degree of grain processing, roughage particle size, ionophore inclusion level, and supplemental prebiotics or probiotics; however, these alternatives have been inconsistent in outcomes and have not proven to be successful.

Investigations into a Hepatotoxin in Lupin Roughage
Research in Veterinary Science, 1970Preliminary investigations into the chemical nature of a hepatotoxic factor which sometimes occurs in dried lupin roughage, particularly in Western Australia, have been carried out. Results indicated it was not an alkaloid. Its properties suggested the presence of phenolic and/or acidic groups.

Metabolizable energy of roughage in Taiwan
Small Ruminant Research, 2000The fixed metabolizable energy (ME) values from the NRC do not represent the true ME values of the various feedstuff used in livestock rations. Therefore, a rapid and effective method for evaluating the ME value of forage crops is required for proper ration formulation to improve production efficiency.

Provision of high nitrogen roughage to sheep as a supplement to low nitrogen roughage
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1975Three feeding experiments and a digestibility study are reported in which the effects of supplementing low nitrogen roughages with roughages of high nitrogen content were studied. In each feeding experiment the effect of varying the frequency of supplementation was examined. During the first experiment intake of lucerne hay was greater (P < 0.05)

The effect of monensin on rumen fermentation in sheep fed on all-roughage and barley/roughage diets
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1986Abstract The effect of 50 mg of Rumensin (monensin sodium) on rumen fermentation was studied in wethers fed on all-roughage (100% hay), high-roughage (75% hay, 25% barley) and concentrated (50% hay, 50% barley) rations. Monensin significantly increased the molar proportion of propionic and isovaleric acids and decreased the proportion of acetic acid

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, 1984
The mode of action, indications and contraindications of laxatives and bulkage are presented. There are only a few indications for the use of laxatives, centering mainly on bowel preparation for diagnostic and operative purposes. Frequent abuse of laxatives is observed in chronic constipation, a disease which should be treated by a high roughage diet ...

The utilization of roughages by sheep and kangaroos
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1970The utilization of good-quality and poor-quality roughages (lucerne hay and oat straw) by red and grey kangaroos, Megaleia rufa and Macropus giganteus, compared with sheep was investigated by means of digestibility trials in individual metabolism cages. On average the kangaroos ate slightly less per unit metabolic body weight than the sheep when fed ad

Assessing Minimum Amounts and Form of Roughages in Ruminant Diets: Roughage Value Index System
Journal of Animal Science, 1981Summary Ruminants require adequate amounts of coarse-textured feeds to avoid metabolic disorders and, in the case of dairy cows, reduced milk fat production. Coarse-textured feeds help to maintain both proper muscle tone in the digestive system and proper rumen pH, both of which contribute to productivity and health.

The voluntary intake of roughages by steers
Animal Science, 19621. Four roughages were given ad lib. to each of eight steers. The amount consumed and the apparent digestibility of the energy of each roughage were determined together with the weight gains of the steers.2. The mean voluntary intake of dry matter was related to the mean apparent digestibility of the energy of the roughages in the same quantitative way

The protein content in Surinam roughages
Qualitas Plantarum et Materiae Vegetabiles, 1965The results of 400 odd roughage analyses have been used to investigate the extent to which the crude protein content affects the low production level of the Surinam cattle population. Of the indigenous grasses the crude protein content in the aquatics is obviously high, contrary to that in cultivated grasses which is only somewhat higher than that in ...
