Garlic extracts have been reported to be effective in reducing methanogenesis. Related mechanisms are not well illustrated, however, and most studies conducted vitro. This study investigates the effects of supplementary allicin (AL) sheep diet on vivo digestibility, rumen fermentation, shifts microbial flora.Two experiments were using Dorper × thin-tailed Han crossbred ewes. In experiment 1, eighteen ewes (60.0 ± 1.73 kg BW) randomly assigned for 29 days either two dietary treatments: a...

This study was carried out to investigate the possible application of Broussonetia papyrifera (B. papyrifera) silage as a functional feeding stuff in dairy cattle.Seventy-two Holstein cows were divided into four groups randomly and allocated 6 pens with 3 individuals each group fed original total mixed ratio (TMR) farm or new TMR 5%, 10%, 15% B. silage, separately. Feed intake recorded, milk blood samples collected, composition, metabolites fatty acids composition measure at end...

Two experiments were conducted using Dorper × thin-tailed Han crossbred ewes. In experiment 1, eighteen ewes randomly assigned to two dietary treatments (a basal diet, or the same diet supplemented with 2.0 g tea saponin (TS)/head/day) investigate effects of TS supplementation on nutrient digestibility and methane emissions. 2, six ruminal cannulae as in 1 rumen fermentation microbial flora. increased apparent organic matter (OM) (p = 0.001), nitrogen (N) 0.036), neutral detergent fibre...

Compared with traditional electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD), orbital EWOD is a newly observed droplet manipulation phenomenon on superhydrophobic surface, which has the advantages of high speed, antigravity, and no pollution broad application prospects. However, current research electrowetting structured electrodes focuses statistical characteristics collection, movement process single droplets still unclear. The study eccentric correction helps us to better understand influence local...

Although flavonoids or yeast have been used as feed additives to improve the production efficiency and health of adult cattle, little information is available on their effects rumen fermentation in calves. The objective this study was investigate supplementation with mulberry leaf Candida tropicalis performance, blood parameters, characteristics during pre-weaning post-weaning periods. Forty-eight Holstein calves were a four-groups trial supplemented (1) no (CON), (2) active dry (ADY; C....

We evaluated the effects of diets with different crude protein (CP) levels on growth performance, rumen fermentation and bacterial communities in weaned Chahaer lambs. 128 lambs ((20.56±1.43) kg body weight; ram:ewe 1:1) aged (61±1.85) d were randomly allotted to one four CP content 11.17% (T1), 12.06% (T2), 13.40% (T3) or 14.36% (T4). Ruminal parameters measured analysed using PCR-dena-turing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) quantitative PCR. The average daily gain feed utilization...

This study investigated the effects of protein sources for milk replacers on growth performance and serum biochemical indexes suckling calves. Fifty Chinese Holstein bull calves with similar BW age were randomly allocated to 5 groups (1 control 4 treatments) 10 in each group. Five types designed have same level energy protein. The source group was full (MP). treatment composed MP one vegetable (VP) (30 70% total protein). VP soybean concentrate (SP), hydrolyzed wheat (WP), peanut (PP), rice...

forage ratios (C:F) and undegraded dietary protein (UDP) on nitrogen balance urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD) in lambs. Four Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred castrated lambs with 62.3±1.9 kg body weight at 10 months age were randomly assigned to four treatments a 2×2 factorial arrangement two levels C:F (40:60 60:40) UDP (35% 50% CP), according complete 4×4 Latin-square design. Each experimental period lasted for 19 d. After 7-d adaptation period, moved into individual metabolism...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect weaning age on intake, performance, nutrition metabolism and serum parameters beef calves.Sixty Droughtmaster crossbred calves were assigned 5 groups with 12 in each group. control group remained dams till 22-week age, while weaned at 28 d (4 wk), 42 (6 56 (8 70 (10 wk) sent 4 wk, 6 8 10 respectively, then fed milk replacer age. Feed intake body weight size record blood metabolites measured. And 24 them group) picked randomly for...

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by the heterothallic ascomycete fungus Setosphaeria turcica, is a destructive foliar disease of maize and represents serious threat to production worldwide. A comparative proteomic study was conducted explore molecular mechanisms underlying defense responses resistant line A619 Ht2 S. turcica race 13. Leaf proteins were extracted from mock turcica-infected leaves after inoculated for 72 h analyzed differentially expressed using two-dimensional...

Abstract BACKGROUND We determined how supplementing the diet of lactating, multiparous Holstein dairy cows with a preparation Moringa oleifera rachises and twigs affected their milk production quality levels plasma antioxidants. RESULTS found that yield increased in receiving 6% (w/w) moringa supplement compared control. Addition concentration fat decreased somatic cell count milk. However, protein, glucose total solid urea nitrogen concentrations were same for all treatments. The...

A total of 144 cross-bred (Duroc × Landrace Yorkshire) finishing pigs with a similar initial weight (65.4 ± 1.03 kg) were used to investigate the effect moringa leaf meal on growth performance, meat quality, fatty acid composition, and amino profile. The meal-inclusion rates 0% (M0 or control), 3% (M3), 6% (M6) 9% (M9). results showed that supplementing significantly increased daily gain pigs, but had minor impact pork quality indicators profile in Longissimus dorsi. dorsi was modified when...

Dorper is an important breed for meat purpose and widely used in the livestock industry of world. However, protein requirement crossbred has not been investigated. The current paper reports net (NP) metabolizable (MP) requirements ram lambs from 20 to 35 kg BW. Thirty-five × thin-tailed Han weaned at approximately 50 d age (20.3 ± 2.15 BW) were used. Seven 25 BW slaughtered as baseline animals start trial. An intermediate group seven randomly selected fed ad libitum was 28.6 remaining 21...

Two feeding patterns of the segregated weaning or grazing in pasture are carried out worldwide animal production. To investigate difference growth performance and rumen microorganism population related to methane metabolism two patterns, three groups lambs (70 total) were used: Weaning at 21 days old being subjected high-concentration diets (3WK group with 20 lambs), 35 (5WK nursing mother (Grazing 30 lambs). The performance, pH value content, microbes investigated during period fattening...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the energy requirement of Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred ewes during non-pregnancy and lactation. Fifteen after parturition were randomly assigned three treatments: ad libitum (100%) feed intake 80 or 60% intake, another nine non-pregnant a blank control group. Digestibility trials performed in lactating on 20th, 50th, 80th d In parallel with digestibility trial, respirometry determine methane carbon dioxide production an open-circuit system...
