The influence of different rates of oxalic acid administration on the rate at which oxalic acid is degraded in the rumen of sheep and goats

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1996
Oxalic acid is present at high concentrations in certain plants such as Beta vulgaris L. and Rumex spp. and may cause renal toxicity following consumption by ruminants.

High‐Rate two‐phase process for the anaerobic degradation of cellulose, employing rumen microorganisms for an efficient acidogenesis

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1988
AbstractA novel two‐stage anaerobic process for the microbial conversion of cellulose into biogas has been developed. In the first phase, a mixed population of rumen bacteria and ciliates was used in the hydrolysis and fermentation of cellulose. The volatile fatty acids (VFA) produced in this acidogenic reactor were subsequently converted into biogas ...

RATE OF PROTEIN DEGRADATION AND NUTRIENT DIGESTION OF VARIOUS NITROGEN SOURCES IN CONTINUOUS CULTURE OF RUMEN CONTENTS

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1987
A dual flow continuous culture fermentor system was used to estimate ruminal rate of protein degradation and influence of supplemental nitrogen (N) source on digestion of total dietary crude protein (CP), dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM).

An examination of rate of nitrogen fertiliser, date of harvest and additive treatment on degradability of grass silage in the rumen

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2000
Grass silage forms the basal forage for the majority of beef and dairy cattle during the winter indoor feeding period. Previous studies undertaken at this Institute have clearly indicated that the major factors affecting the feed value of grass silage are the date of harvest, rate of fertiliser nitrogen (N) application and additive treatment.

Degradation rate and chemical composition of different types of alkali‐treated straws during rumen digestion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1984
AbstractThe degradation in the rumen and change in chemical composition of untreated and four samples of alkali‐treated barley straw were studied in farm‐scale treatments with ammonia, ‘dry’ sodium hydroxide and two different aqueous sodium hydroxide systems.

Supplementation of a diet of straw with starch or fishmeal; effects on the degradability and rate of outflow of straw from the rumen

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1984
Treatment of straw with alkali; sodium hydroxide or ammonia, can improve both its dry matter digestibility and the amount of straw that cattle will consume. Such improvements allow straw to be used to a greater extent compared with untreated straw in rations for cattle. Several recent reports have identified however that when straw is incorporated in a

Excess rumen degradable protein influences the rate of development and glucose metabolism of fertilized sheep ova

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1995
The level of protein degradability in ruminant diets, notably in the peri-ovulatory period and during the early weeks of gestation, can significantly affect conceptus survival and may even interfere with normal control of foetal growth. For example, high levels of rumen degradable protein (RDP) increase embryonic mortality in superovulated sheep but ...

Effect of protein and starch degradation rates on rumen metabolism in Taiwan native goat.

Proceedings of the National Science Council, Republic of China. Part B, Life sciences, 1995
Six ruminal and duodenal cannulated Taiwan native goats (body weight = 20 kg) were fed 35% roughage, 65% concentrate diet (crude protein = 9.5%) in a 6 x 6 Latin square design to study the effect of the combination of 3 varying starch (corn) and 2 varying protein (soybeans) ruminal degradation rates on ruminal microbial density and ruminal nutrient ...

Effect of expander processing on fractional rate of maize and barley starch degradation in the rumen of dairy cows estimated using rumen evacuation and in situ techniques

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2003
Abstract Effects of heat treatment (expanding) on ruminal and intestinal digestibility of starch in barley and maize grains were studied in an extended 4×4 Latin square experiment. Four lactating Danish Holstein Friesian cows fitted with ruminal, duodenal and ileal cannulae were offered grass-clover silage and grass-clover hay based diets ...
