Background and Objectives: Improving ruminant environmental impacts productivity get a great interest in last years, herbal plants were investigated as feed additive for decreasing gas production from rumen enhancing nutrients digestibility.So, the current study was carried out to investigate effect of supplementing diets with different levels thyme or celery on fermentation, digestibility production.Materials Methods: Seven experimental treatments done using vitro batch culture...

Application of phytogenic feed additives in livestock production is a sustainable practice and the search for more options continues. This study was conducted to investigate impact lemongrass supplementation on nutrient utilization, rumen fermentation milk composition. Thirty gestating Farafra ewes were randomly assigned three experimental treatments control (without supplement), or with 5 g (LEM5 treatment), 10 lemongrass/ewe/d (LEM10 treatment) 12 weeks. Lemongrass at both doses did not...

Reducing livestock negative environmental impacts get great interest in last years. So, present study was carried out to determine the effect of adding different levels mixture thyme and celery versus salinomycin on ruminal fermentation, gas production, dry, organic matter fiber degradation. Four experimental treatments were used by in-vitro batch culture technique, as follow: 60% CFM, 40% clover hay (control), control diet + 2.5 gm kg-1 DM (T1), 5 (T2), 10 (T3), 0.4 Salinomycin (T4)....

Twenty Damascus lactating goats weighting 29.2 ± 1.96 Kg LBW (2.5 – 3 years old) were used in this experiment which randomly divided into five groups. Control group (G1) was fed basal diet, G2 the diet mixed with 4g/h/d Echinacea purpurea, G3 8g/kg G4 7.5 g/h/d Nigella sativa and G5 10 Cichorium intybus for 98 days. The results showed that rumen parameters (pH TVFA's ammonia) tend to increase significantly (P ≤ 0.05) purpurea (G2). Nutrient digestibilities (DM, OM, EE, CP CF) treated groups...

Abstract The present study evaluates the effect of partial replacement concentrate with Moringa oleifera silage (MOS) in diet lactating Damascus goats on milk production, nutrient utilization and ruminal fermentation. Fifteen ewes were stratified a quintuplicate 3 × Latin square design (3 diets periods) for 90 days fed composed mixture rice straw 60:40 (DM basis) control group 30 each period. In other two diets, MOS was included at 20 (MOS20 diet) or 40% (MOS40 replacing same amounts DM...

Abstract The present experiment aimed to evaluate the inclusion of dried olive cake treated or untreated with fibrolytic enzyme, partially replacing concentrates in diet ewes. Forty lactating Barki ewes, weighing 37.1 ± 4.0 kg, were assigned into four treatments (n=10) a complete randomized design for 9 weeks. Ewes stratified according parity (2 1 parity) and previous milk production (615 11 g/d). control consisted corn fodder at 60:40, respectively. For experimental diets, 30% was replaced...

Moringa seed cake is a protein-rich source that can be utilized as feed supplement or cheaper protein ingredient.This study aimed to: (1) assess the ruminal degradation features of machine-dehulled moringa (DMSC); and (2) examine effect supplementing lactating Damascus goats' diets with DMSC on milk production.Three cannulated rams (50.60± 3.05 kg, body weight) were used to degradability DM, NDF, ADF for using in sacco technique.Fifteen goats (averaging 45.4± 0.5 weight averaging yield...

n vitro study was carried out to determine the effect of replacing clover hay with olive cake silage or without fibrolytic enzymes on rumen fermentation and gas production dry matter disappearance.The experimental diets consist 50: 50 concentrate: roughage ratio (on DM basis); experiments divided into four groups, first group diet 50% concentrate feed mixture (CFM): (control).The second were replaced by 25, 75% for T1, T2 T3, respectively.The third T4, T5 T6, fourth treated T7, T8 T9,...

The current In vitro study was carried out to investigate the effect of replacing green maize (darawa) with crude olive cake or treated silage without fibrolytic enzymes; on nutrients digestibility, rumen fermentation, pH, ammonia nitrogen and gas production. Nine TMR different replacement ratios were formulated tested as follow: C: control group (50% concentrate: 50% darawa), G1: 25% darawa replaced ratio, G2: untreated silage, G3: G4: cake, G5: G6: G7: concentrate:75% G8: 75% G9: silage....

Abstract The current study was conducted to explore the productive performance and health status of lactating buffaloes fed diets supplemented with probiotic and/or fibrolytic enzymes. Forty multiparous Egyptian (body weight 451 ± 8.5 kg) were equally assigned four experimental groups: (1) first group control diet, (2) second diet plus 4 g probiotic/kg dry matter (DM) (probiotic), (3) third enzymes/kg DM (enzymes) (4) fourth 2 + (Mix), experiment extended for 63 days. Nutrients digestibility...

Intensification of livestock production system using high-grain diets become necessary so that, feed additives and promoters are very important to enhance digestion efficiency achieve the desired performance from animals.The supplementation yeast benefits in ruminants could be achieved by several factors such as (1) induce some modifications microbial population numbers species, (2) make favorable changes ruminal volatile fatty acids content, (3) have positive effects on rumen ammonia...

Abstract The current study evaluated the effects of in-feed administration thyme, celery or their mixture (as an alternative to salinomycin ionophore) on feed utilization and growth performance Barki lambs. Fifty-five lambs weighing 18.5 ± 1.1 kg about 90 5 days old were stratified into treatment groups fed: (1) a control diet concentrates corn stover (60:40, dry matter basis), supplemented with (2) 15 g (3) celery, (4) thyme mix, (5) 1 salinomycin/lamb daily for 288 days. Additives...

Enhancing the productive performance of ruminant by improving nutrients metabolism get much attention.The aim current study was to investigate effect feeding olive cake either treated or untreated with fibrolytic enzymes on reproductive and some blood parameters in ewes.Forty-eight multiparous lactating Barki ewes at second third season lactation (42±3 kg live body weight) were equally randomly allotted four dietary groups.Control group (G1) fed 60 % concentrate feed mixture (CFM), 40 green...
