Wet distiller's grains (WDG) are rich in crude protein, yet challenging to preserve. Nevertheless, incorporating WDG into total mixed ration (TMR) silage holds promise for enhancing fermentation quality. This study investigated the effects of varying proportions on nitrogen composition, quality, and microorganisms TMR silage. Three formulations were prepared: (1) 0% (T0), (2) 15% (T15), (3) 30% (T30) ensiled 7, 15, 30 60 days. After 7 days ensiling, butyric acid was detected T0 T15 groups,...
There is evidence indicating that using the current UK energy feeding system to ration present sheep flocks may underestimate their nutrient requirements. The objective of study was address this issue by developing updated maintenance requirements for and evaluating if these were influenced a range dietary animal factors. Data (n = 131) used collated from five experiments with (5 18 months old 29.0 69.8 kg BW) undertaken at Agri-Food Biosciences Institute 2013 2017. trials designed evaluate...
Abstract Twelve Hu sheep × thin‐tail Han crossbred dry ewes with an average body weight of 32.6 ± 0.68 kg and age 3 years were arranged in a Latin square design, each experimental period 24 d to evaluate the effect substituting alfalfa hay portion concentrate on nutrient intake, digestibility, N utilisation efficiency methane emissions. The ratios corn straw for diet treatments 60:0:40, 60:15:25 60:30:10, respectively. Intake digestibility measured ewes, which housed individual metabolism...
Objective: The 3×3 factorial arrangement was used to investigate if either high watersoluble carbohydrates (WSC) cultivars or suitable time of day that the grass cut could improve nutrient values and <i>in vitro</i> fermentation characteristics.Methods: 3 were mowed at diurnal points included a benchmark WSC ryegrass cultivar ‘Premium’, 2 AberAvon AberMagic, which contained, on average, 157, 173, 193 g/kg dry matter (DM) WSC, 36.0, 36.5, 34.1 DM N during 7th regrowth stage,...
An accurate value for metabolizable energy (ME) requirement maintenance (MEm) is essential to enable sheep husbandry practice reach its potential. The objectives of the study were use calorimetry chamber data dry ewes (Hu × thin-tail Han F1 crossbred) develop updated MEm, examine effects substituting concentrate feed with lucerne hay on partitioning, and explore relationships between utilization fasting heat production (FHP). Data collected from three experiments. In Exps. 1, 2a 2b, was used...
