The accuracy of using the ratio of nitrogen to acid detergent fibre in faeces to partition nitrogen between faeces and urine in total excreta collections from ewes

Grass and Forage Science, 1997
A comparison was made of the estimates of the outputs of nitrogen (N) in faeces and urine on Awassi ewes using two methods: (1) conventional collection in digestibility crates, with urine acidified to prevent volatilization (separation method); (2) collection of both faeces and urine together in bags placed over the tail of the ewe and using the ratio ...

Using Arthrobotrys oligospora (Orbiliales) spores mixed with sterile sheep faeces for disinfesting soil micro-plots infested with Nacobbus aberrans (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae)

Biocontrol science and technology (Print), 2023
This study explored the initial step to develop of a potential biopesticide for controlling Nacobbus aberrans (J2) using spores of the nematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora (Ao) mixed with sterile sheep faeces.

Effect of orange fibre on nutrient digestibility and fermentation products in faeces of cats fed kibble diets

Archives of Animal Nutrition, 2022
The aim of the present study was to compare orange fibre, beet pulp and inulin as fibre sources for cats. A control diet (CON) was formulated without inclusion of a fibre source.

Orange fibre effects on nutrient digestibility, fermentation products in faeces and digesta mean retention time in dogs

Archives of Animal Nutrition, 2021
Fermentable fibres are used in commercial dog food to promote intestinal health by providing substrates for better metabolic activity of the gut microbiota. Brazil is the world’s largest producer of oranges, from which it is possible to obtain fibre with

Effect of dietary fibre and indigestible markers on the apparent total tract digestibility of gross energy and nutrients, and indigestible marker recovery in diets fed to growing pigs

Archives of Animal Nutrition, 2021
In this study, the effects of dietary fibre and types of indigestible markers (IM) on the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE) and nutrients as well as IM recovery in diets fed to growing pigs were investigated.

Intake and apparent digestibility of hay or hay plus concentrate diets determined in horses by the total collection of feces and n-alkanes as internal markers

Livestock Science, 2006
The apparent digestibility of hays plus two commercial mixed feeds containing about 14 % and 11.8 % crude fibre (CF) respectively as feeds were determined by means of two in vivo digestibility trials, each performed on 4 or 5 saddle horses weighing on average about 550 and 535 kg, respectively, over a 6 day faeces total collection period with a ...

Poultry as a vector for emerging multidrug resistant Enterococcus spp.: First report of vancomycin (van) and the chloramphenicol-florfenicol (cat-fex-cfr) resistance genes from pigeon and duck faeces.

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2019
Although commonly regarded as human and animal intestinal tract commensals, Enterococcus spp. have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens due to their intrinsic or acquired resistance to a number of antibiotics.

Frequency of molecular detection of equine coronavirus in faeces and nasal secretions in 277 horses with acute onset of fever

The Veterinary Record, 2019
Context Due to the inconsistent development of enteric signs associated with ECoV infection in adult horses, many practitioners collect nasal secretions rather than feces for the molecular diagnostic work-up of such horses. Main conclusion ECoV infection

A comparison of two methods to assess apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients in dogs

Archives of Animal Nutrition, 2020
The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients can be assessed by total collection of faeces (TC), which is the reference method, or by the indicator method (IM).
