The growing world population demands an increase in animal protein production. Seaweed may be a valuable source of for feed. However, biorefinery approach aimed at cascading valorisation both and non-protein seaweed constituents is required to realise economically feasible value chain. In this study, such presented the green Ulva lactuca containing 225 g (N × 4.6) kg−1 dry matter (DM). sugars biomass were solubilised by hot water treatment followed enzymatic hydrolysis centrifugation...
SUMMARY In the current Dutch protein evaluation system (the DVE/OEB 1991 system), two characteristics are calculated for each feed: true digested in intestine (DVE) and rumen degradable balance (OEB). Of these, DVE represents value of a feed, while OEB is difference between potential microbial synthesis (MPS) on basis available that energy. can be separated into three components: (i) feed crude undegraded but small intestine, (ii) synthesized (iii) endogenous lost digestive processes. Based...
The increasing demand for animal protein by the growing world population intensifies exploration of novel feed sources. This study evaluated nutritional value six intact seaweed species (i.e. brown Saccharina latissima, Laminaria digitata, and Ascophyllum nodossum, red Palmaria palmata, Chondrus crispus green Ulva lactuca), collected from coast Ireland, Scotland France as an ingredient feed. nutrient composition, in vitro digestibility, gas production simulating rumen fermentation, were...
In this study, the biological variation for improvement of nutritive value wheat straw by 12 Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, 10 Pleurotus eryngii and Lentinula edodes strains was assessed. Screening best performing within each species made based on in vitro degradability fungal-treated straw.Wheat inoculated with strain 7 weeks solid state fermentation. Weekly samples were evaluated gas production (IVGP) buffered rumen fluid 72 h. Out 32 fungal studied, 17 showed a significantly higher (P <...
Wheat straw and oak wood chips were incubated with Ceriporiopsis subvermispora Lentinula edodes for 8 weeks. Samples from the fungal treated substrates collected every week chemical characterization. L. continuously grew during weeks on both wheat chips, as determined by ergosterol mass fraction of dry biomass. C. colonized first week, stopped growing resumed growth after 6 straw. Detergent fiber analysis pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed a selective lignin...
The white-rot fungi Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (Cs), Pleurotus eryngii (Pe), and Lentinula edodes (Le) have been shown to be high-potential species for selective delignification of plant biomass. This improves polysaccharide degradability, which currently limits the efficient lignocellulose conversion into biochemicals, biofuels, animal feed. Since selectivity time efficiency fungal still need optimization, detailed understanding underlying mechanisms at molecular level is required....
Abstract The degradability of starch from various feedstuffs was investigated in vitro by incubation 500‐mg amounts 50 ml a 3:1 rumen fluid/buffer solution at 39°C for 6 h. fluid obtained one three cows fed on hay or and concentrate. degree degradation after h varied strongly the 23 investigated. same feedstuff hay‐fed cow significantly lower than concentrate‐fed cow. It seemed that differences between were not determined ration donor cow, but merely properties starch. Processed showed...
