Apparent digestibility in meat-type guinea pigs as determined by total collection or by internal marker [PDF]

Veterinární Medicína, 2008
Six adult male meat-type guinea pigs were subjected to three subsequent digestibility trials with 100% alfalfa, 50% alfalfa and 50% sugar cane and 50% alfalfa and 50% concentrate.

Equipment for the separate and total collection of faeces and urine from dairy cattle [PDF]

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1963
Abstract Attention has been drawn to problems associated witb separating and collecting dung and urine from milking cows when on metabolism trials. The limitations of apparatus currently used for this purpose are outlined. Alternative equipment is described which has been designed specifically for collecting the excreta from Jersey cattle fed ...

Prevalence of liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) in wild Red Deer (Cervus elaphus): coproantigen ELISA is a practicable alternative to faecal egg counting for surveillance in remote populations [PDF]

, 2016
Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are hosts of liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica); yet, prevalence is rarely quantified in wild populations. Testing fresh samples from remote regions by faecal examination (FE) can be logistically challenging; hence, we appraise ...

Methodical considerations when estimating nutrient digestibility in horses using the mobile bag technique

Animal, 2021
Total collection of faeces is considered the golden standard for estimating apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) in horses. However, the evaluation of individual feedstuffs is limited and determination of nutrient digestibility in different segments

Effect of dietary grape pomace on fats digestibility in horses [PDF]

Acta Fytotechnica et Zootechnica, 2020
The present study aimed to analyse dried grape pomace as a possible source of crude fat and polyunsaturated fatty acids in equine nutrition, as well as its effect on apparent digestibility of crude fat and selected fatty acids.

An attempt to define the sodium requirements of lactating dairy cows in a tropical environment [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Lactating dairy cattle in the tropics may require more sodium (Na) owing to the hot and humid climatic conditions. It is unknown whether the current recommendations on Na for lactating cows can be quantitatively used in tropical countries ...

Effect of exercise on apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients and faecal recovery of ADL and TiO2 in ponies

Animal, 2018
Exercise and physical training are known to affect gastrointestinal function and digestibility in horses and can lead to inaccurate estimates of nutrient and energy digestibility when markers are used.

Evaluation of titanium dioxide and chromic oxide as digestibility markers in ponies fed alfalfa hay in relation to marker dosing frequency

Animal, 2019
In equines, Cr2O3 is widely accepted as an indigestible marker, but there are health concerns regarding the carcinogenic properties of Cr2O3. Recently, TiO2 has been suggested to be an alternative digestibility marker in equines.

Evaluation of methodological aspects of digestibility measurements in ponies fed different haylage to concentrate ratios

Animal, 2017
Methodological aspects of digestibility measurements were studied in four Welsh pony geldings consuming haylage-based diets with increasing proportions of a pelleted concentrate according to a 4×4 Latin square design experiment.
