The dry sow is well suited to utilise high fibre diets and there are some suggestions that feeding such diets in pregnancy may enhance litter size and subsequent piglet performance. This experiment was designed to investigate the effects on performance of inclusion of a high level of fermentable fibre in the form of unmolassed sugar beet pulp (SBP) in the diet of dry sows.24 gilts and 20 multiparous Landrace x Large White sows were allocated to one of two diets according to weaning or entry date, parity and liveweight. The diets comprised a barley/soya basal diet with either 450 g/kg wheat (diet W) or SBP substituting for this wheat to provide the same quantity of corrected digestible energy (diet B). The two diets were fed at differential levels, to supply the same daily total of corrected digestible energy, from weaning or gilt entry until farrowing. The allocated amount of diet was given in a single daily feeding period to animals confined in individual feeding stalls, and a period of one hour was allowed for the ration to be consumed. After farrowing all animals were fed twice daily on a standard diet, according to a scale related to litter size.

Potential Use

There is a considerable current interest in the feeding of high fibre diets to pregnant sows, with a view to gaining both economic and welfare advantages. The potential use of these diets will depend on the extent to which the fibrous materials are fermened in the hindgut, and the subsequent capacity of the products of the fermentation, that is VFAs, to meet the energy needs of the animal. Sugar beet pulp and wheat straw are two ingredients that have considerable potential as feed ingredients for sows. The present experiment was designed to study the extent to which diets containing high level of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), largely from plain sugar beet pulp (SBP) or wheat straw (WS), influenced nutrient partition and the efficiency of ntrient utilisation in pregnant sows.

Results from three previous experiments with finishing cattle on an 18-month beef system indicate that the major increases in daily live-weight gain (DLG) occur within the first 50 to 60 days of supplementation with fish meal. Hence, it may be possible to remove fish meal from the diet after the initial two months of the finishing winter without any subsequent effect on animal performance.For the last nine weeks at grass the experimental cattle were given 1.4-kg/head/day dried sugar beet pulp nuts. On housing this allowance was increased to 3.0 kg and the 48 British Friesian steers were offered grass silage ad libitum (round bale silage for one week and precision-chopped clamp silage thereafter). The 3.0-kg dried sugar beet pulp was given for five days and after a 10-day changeover period the nuts were replaced by 15-kg potatoes. Cattle were offered the basal diet of precision-chopped silage and potatoes for 12 days before starting the experiment.Steers were implanted with 300-mg trenbolone acetate (Finaplix, Hoechst UK Ltd, Milton Keynes) and 36-mg zeranol (Ralgro, Crown Chemical Company Ltd, Lamberhurst) 20 days before randomisation.

Pigs (25–45 kg) were fed on either cereal or semi-purified basal diets supplemented with either high or low levels of sugar-beet pulp or wood cellulose (Solka-floc). The apparent digestibility and retention of N and apparent digestibility and metabolizability of energy (GE) and the apparent digestibility of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and their constituent monomers were measured during weeks 2, 4 and 6 of the trial. N and GE were less well-digested, retained or metabolized from cereal basal diets than from the corresponding semi-purified diets during all three periods. NSP from sugar-beet pulp was highly digestible, unlike that from Soka-floc which was relatively poorly digested. These differences of NSP digestibility were seen more clearly when incorporated in semi-purified diets. There was no significant increase in the digestibility or retention of N, or digestibility or metabolizability of GE, or in the digestibility of sugar-beet pulp NSP with increasing time-period on the diets. In contrast, the digestibility of Solka-floc NSP tended to increase with the time-period. The digestibility of NSP from the semi-purified diet with the high level of Solka-floc inclusion was much lower than that for the low level of inclusion, indicating that microbial activity had been reduced. In conclusion, adaptation to the diets in terms of N and GE balance may be complete after 1 week, but 3–5 weeks may be necessary before stability of measurements of the digestibility of resistant NSP monomers can be obtained.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the production parameters of White Koluda® geese fed with a corn or beet pulp silage supplemented diet. The oxidative stability of breast and thigh muscles during frozen storage and the fatty acid composition of abdominal fat were also investigated. Measurements were carried out on a total of 42 geese of the White Koluda® W31 strain that were divided into three experimental groups: group I (control) - basal diet, group II - basal diet with corn silage addition, group III - basal diet with pressed beet pulp silage addition. Diets containing ad libitum maize silage or sugar beet pulp silage supplemented with a limited amount of commercial diets, significantly reduced BW (about 9%) and ADG (about 27%) of birds compared to the control group in the 14th week of rearing. Feeding corn or sugar beet pulp silage to geese did not affect pH values, heme iron content, colour parameters but decreased lipid oxidation values in muscles 3 days after slaughter. The abdominal fat of geese fed with the pressed beet pulp silage supplemented diet was characterized by a significantly higher content of myristic and linoleic acid and a lower content of oleic acid. In conclusion, feeding geese with limited amount of commercial mixtures supplemented with maize or sugar beet pulp silages may be recommended primarily for increasing financial efficiency in White Koluda® geese farms but also for improving the quality of goose carcasses, due to their low fat and high quality of meat.

<p>The present study aimed to evaluate acid-insoluble ash (AIA) as an internal marker for the measurement the coefficient of total tract apparent digestibility (CTTAD) in rabbits through two experiments (E1 and E2). In E1, 48 rabbits were used to calculate the CTTAD of the same basal diet according to the European reference method (ERM), the AIA and the titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub> with 1 g of TiO<sub>2</sub>/kg diet) techniques (n=16 rabbits/method). The effect of feed sample quantity on dietary AIA content was investigated and total collection of faeces was carried out to calculate marker recovery. In E2, 48 rabbits were allotted to three groups fed diets with no sugar beet pulp (SBP0) or with 100 (SBP100) and 200 (SBP200) g sugar beet pulp/kg (n=16 rabbits/group). Each group was divided into two subgroups, ERM and AIA (n=8 rabbits/subgroup), in which CTTAD was measured using the European reference and AIA method, respectively. In AIA subgroups, only 10% of the total daily faecal output was sampled from 9:00 to 9:30 am. Feed analysis in E1 showed that increasing sample quantity from 5 to 9 g did not affect the dietary AIA content; however, the analytical error was 7 and 5 times lower (<em>P</em>&lt;0.05) for 9 g, when compared to 5 and 7 g samples. Feed analysis also showed 1.030±0.003 g TiO<sub>2</sub>/kg diet. Faecal marker recovery was 99.80±0.03 and 96.89±0.16% for AIA and TiO<sub>2</sub>, respectively. The CTTAD of dry matter (DM), did not differ between methods in E1, but a 5-fold higher variability (<em>P</em>&lt;0.05) was observed for the TiO<sub>2</sub> technique in comparison with the ERM and AIA methods. Also, no differences in the CTTAD of DM between the ERM and AIA methods were found in E2. In conclusion, AIA is a reliable internal marker in rabbits and offers the possibility of measuring the CTTAD of diets with precision, when complete faecal collection or feed intake measurement is not possible.</p>

AbstractEstimations of purine derivatives excretion and urinary-nitrogen loss were used to test the response of rumen fermentation to supplementation of straw with different sources of carbohydrate. Two groups of Rasa Aragonesa ewes (44 (s.e. 0·75) kg live weight were given ad libitum basal diets of either ammonia-treated (ATS) or urea-supplemented (USS) barley straw, with 12 animals per basal diet group. Three supplements, barley grain, sugar-beet pulp or grass hay, respectively, were given to each basal diet group, giving a total of six dietary treatments with four animals per treatment group. Four levels of supplementation were studied (150, 300, 450 and 600 g air dry matter per day), one in each of four experimental periods. Each 45-day experimental period comprised 38 days of adjustment followed by a 7-day measurement period. Digestible organic matter (DOM) intake was higher in animals receiving ATS than in animals receiving USS (504 v. 474 (s.e. 21·1) g/day, P < 0·005) and higher in animals receiving barley grain and sugar-beet pulp than in those receiving grass hay (512 and 496 v. 370 (s.e. 25·9) g/day, P < 0·005). DOM intake also increased with the level of supplementation and this increase was greater with barley grain (504 to 634 and 314 to 554 g/day for ATS and USS) and sugar-beet pulp (440 to 582 and 315 to 522 g/day) than with grass hay (430 to 407 and 267 to 370 for ATS and USS). Urinary excretions of hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid were not affected by the experimental treatment whereas allantoin excretion (y, mmol) increased in response to DOM intake (x, kg) (y = 13·72 × − 0·26; r = 0·79; P < 0·001; no. = 96). The response in allantoin excretion was mainly explained by the increase in DOM intake. However when data were expressed per unit of DOM intake significant differences were still evident. Allantoin/DOM intake (mmol·kg) ratio and calculated microbial nitrogen (g·kg DOM intake) supply were lower with USS diets and sugar-beet pulp supplemented diets (P< 0·05) and increased significantly with level of supplementation (P < 0·001).

The energy value of feedstuffs with a high content of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) has rarely been measured accurately. The aim of this study was to measure the intake, performance and carcass characteristics of growing pigs given 0, 150, 300 or 450 g plain (P) or molassed (M) sugar beet pulp per kg diet (using substitution for barley). This NSP source was chosen because it is known to be highly digestible by pigs (Longland et al., 1988) and because it is widely available. This work forms part of our programme to evaluate fibrous feeds which may be useful, without or with modification, as alternatives to cereal grains.Each diet was given to twelve Large White x Landrace pigs. Equal numbers of entire male and female pigs were given each diet. Their initial weight was 18 kg and the pigs were killed two days after their weight exceeded 77.5 kg. The pigs were kept Individually, without straw, at a temperature of 20 ± 3°C.

SummaryThree separate nitrogen balance experiments were made in three consecutive years. Comparisons of nitrogen retention were made between late-pregnant (15–20 weeks) Greyface (Border Leicester ♂χ Scottish Blackface ♀) ewes given a basal diet of hay and molassed sugar-beet pulp cubes (SBP, 1·25 em diameter x ca. 3cm length) and when given additional nitrogen supplied as urea contained in molassed sugar-beet pulp cubes (SBPU). Both sugar-beet pulp materials were adequately supplemented with minerals and vitamins. Supplementation with urea significantly increased nitrogen retention.

SUMMARYA molassed sugar beet product with 32% crude protein and containing added urea (8%), dicalcium phosphate, trace elements and vitamins was evaluated in two experiments as a protein source for intensively-fed 100 kg British Friesian steers. Comparison was made with an equal amount of crude protein supplied as a mixture of decorticated groundnut and cottonseed meals.Both forms of supplementation equally and significantly increased live-weight gains and improved food conversion ratios compared with those recorded when the basal diet consisted of barley with no protein supplement.
