Sesamum indicum L. has the potential to be cultivated as a forage plant in hot and dry climate regions, it can used increase food security of herd. The objective this study was evaluate growth, production, chemical composition S. compared with conventional forages for silage production. experiment randomized complete block design split-plots related time four replicates per treatment. plots consisted treatments (Zea mays L., Helianthus annuus Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br., indicum),...
Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.) oil (BO) is a byproduct that can be incorporated into the diet of lambs, thus increasing energy density. The study aimed to evaluate optimum BO inclusion level in lamb diets. Sixty-five Santa Ines lambs were distributed two completely randomized experiments with five treatments each (BO at 0 (control), 12, 24, 36 and 48 g/kg dry matter (DM) total). supplementation partially replace ground corn linearly decreased nutrient intake digestibility DM, ether extract...
The effects of the replacement dry ground corn (GC) with corn-grain silage rehydrated water (RCSwater), cactus pear mucilage (RCSmucilage), and whey (RCSwhey) on growth, physicochemical composition, fatty acid profile goat kids’ meat were investigated. Thirty-two crossbred kids (16.4 ± 2.50 kg initial weight) assigned in a randomized block design four treatments eight repetitions. NDF intake fed RCSmucilage was higher comparison to RCSwater RCSwhey (p = 0.0009). dietary GC by increased final...
