Tatl, P.; Cerc, I.H., 2001: The effect on feedlot performance and digestibility of whole crop barley and oats fed as silage and hay in lambs. A study was conducted to determine the qualities of silage and effects on food intake, body weight gain, feed:gain ratio and nutrient digestibility in lambs of whole crop barley and oats (as silage or hay) harvested at the milk stage. Twenty-four...

Forouzani, R.R.wghani, E.Z.miri, M., 2004: The effect of zeolite on digestibility and feedlot performance of Mehraban male lambs given a diet containing urea-treated maize silage. A naturally occurring zeolite (Anzymite) was added to a diet containing 350 g maize silage per kg (which was treated with 10 g urea per kg (fresh weight)), 375 g barley and 275 g alfalfa hay per kg. Effect of inclusion of zeolite (0, 30 and 60 g/k...

Tatl, P.; Cerci, I.H.; Gurdogan, F.; Azman, M.A., 2000: The effect of whole crop corn containing high dry matter ensiled in shade and sunlight on silage quality and ruminal fermentation feedlot performance nutrient digestibility in lambs. This study was conducted to determine the effects of whole crop corn ensiled in two different temperatured media on the ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestibility and feedlot performance in lambs. The dry matter loss was higher in silage ensiled...

Andersen, H.R.; Foldager, J.; Varnum, P.S.; Klastrup, S., 1993: Effects of urea and soyabean meal at two levels in a whole crop barley silage ration on performance, carcass and meat quality in young bulls. In a 2 x 2 factorial design 44 bull calves, 3 months old, were fed until 420 kg liveweight on diets containing whole crop barley silage ad libitum plus urea or soyabean meal at the Danish protein feeding standard or that plus 200 g extra crude pro...

Balakhial,A.; Naserian,A.A.; Moussavi,A.H.; Shahrodi,F.E.; Zadeh,R.V., 2008: Changes in chemical composition and in vitro DM digestibility of urea and molasses treated whole crop canola silage. The effects of 0, 0.5 and 1% urea and 0, 1 and 8% molasses on the chemical composition and <i>in vitro</i> dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of canola silage were determined in a 3x3 randomized experimental design with 3 replicates. It...

Nelson, M.L.; Busboom, J.R.; Cronrath, J.D.; Falen, L.; Blankenbaker, A., 1999: Effects of graded levels of potato by-products in barley and corn-based beef feedlot diets I Feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, meat composition and appearance. Journal of Animal Science 77(SUPPL 1): 165

Nelson, M.L.; Busboom, J.R.; Cronrath, J.D.; Falen, L.; Blankenbaker, A., 2000: Effects of graded levels of potato by-products in barley- and corn-based beef feedlot diets: I. Feedlot performance, carcass traits, meat composition, and appearance. To measure effects of diet on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and beef appearance, 144 crossbred beef steers (333+or-0.44 kg) were allotted within weight block (3) to a randomized complete block design with a 2 x 3 factorial arrangem...

Barley silage was sprayed with water or with a 2:1 combination of commercial cellulase and xylanase preparations, or the enzymes were introduced directly into the rumen, in a digestibility study (replicated incomplete 3 x 3 Latin square) using 10...

Fitzgerald, J.J., 1986: Finishing of store lambs on silage based diets 3. effects of formic acid with or without formaldehyde as silage additives and barley supplementation on silage intake and lamb performance. Silage was cut from a perennial ryegrass sward in late May/early June with a double-chop flail harvester and ensiled either as untreated silage (U) or treated with formic acid at 2.3 l/tonne (FA) or with an equal mixture of formic acid and formali...
