Verification of nutritive value and hypocholesterolemic effect of spring barley lines in rats

The aim of a growth model experiment in laboratory rats was to check the nutritive value of the set of newly bred spring barley lines with different grain characteristics. The followed set contained feed type hulless lines bred in the Agricultural Research Institute Kroměříž , Ltd. KM1771 (1), KM 1057 (2), food type hulless lines KM 2082 (3), KM 2092 (4), KM 2062 (5) and lines formed on the basis of crossing with food donors of a waxy endosperm type – hulless line Wabet x Washonubet (6), hulled line Wabet x Krona (7) and Wabet x Kompakt (8). The line Kompakt x Krona (9) and the malting variety Nordus were used as a control (10).The best results of an average daily gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) (9.19 g; 2.29) were achieved by feeding the line KM 1057 (2), conversely, the worst by feeding food barley of the waxy type (average daily gain in animals of experimental group 6 was only 8.01 g and FCR 2.54). This material also had the highest β-glucan content (7.1 %) out of the followed set. The lowest β-glucan content was detected in the sample 9 (3.88 %). Linear dependence between intake of β-glucans (x) and cholesterol content in rat´s blood (y) was: y = -0.0591x + 3.8102, R2 = 0.4681. The found dependence was statistically highly significant (PThe highest values of digestibility coefficients of crude protein (75.96 %) and crude fibre (49.63 %) were measured in animals in a group 2, on the contrary the lowest digestibility of crude fibre (31.10 %), fat (56.96 %) and ash (45.65 %) was exhibited by a control group 10. Differences in digestibility of all followed nutrients after the 14th day and at the end (28th day) of the experiment were observed (crude protein digestibility was lower by 5.65 %, ash digestibility by 11.47 %, fibre by 10.85 % and fat by 3.75 %).It was confirmed that the tested waxy lines exhibited hypocholesterolemic effect; we, however, do not recommend them for feeding of monogastric animals due to high β-glucan content, reduced intake of mixture and impaired feed conversion.

The influence of supplementation of a lecithin emulsifier (0.1%) to the feed mixture for piglets after weaning was studied. 16 piglets in the control group (C – without lecithin) and 16 piglets in an experimental (E) group were monitored in three replications in a 28-day experimental period. We observed higher digestibility of monitored nutrients in the experimental group (crude fat: C = 66.28 ± 12.11, E = 69.75 ± 9.85%, crude protein: C = 78.72 ± 5.47, E = 82.17 ± 2.23%, crude fibre: C = 56.70 ± 12.85, E = 59.10 ± 12.04%, nitrogen free extract: C = 86.67 ± 3.32, E = 87.75 ± 3.00%, ash: C = 63.63 ± 11.59, E = 65.73 ± 10.35%). Statistically insignificantly higher daily average gain (C = 374.1 ± 107.0, E = 399.1 ± 104.7 g) of experimental groups and a lower feed conversion ratio (C = 2.285 ± 0.416, E = 1.768 ± 0.048 kg/kg) were found out. It was also confirmed in an additional field experiment (C = 279, E = 312 piglets from birth to 71 days of age) where average daily gain weight was 270 g in control and 290 g in experimental group. The influence of lecithin on the occurrence of haemolytic strains of Escherichia coli was not proved. This experiment confirmed a positive effect of the lecithin emulsifier supplement on the efficiency of piglets.

The effects of the use of fish meal in the nutrition of weaning piglets were observed. The trial included 80 weaned piglets of the same genotype (Large White x Danish Landrace) distributed in two feeding treatments. In the first period of the experiment, animals were fed during 10 feeding days, with a prestarter mixture containing 21.1/20.8% of the crude protein. The second period lasted for 25 days and piglets were fed with mixture containing also 21.0/21.1% of the crude protein. And in the final period of the experiment, which lasted 22 feeding days, the meals were formulated to contain 19.5/19.9% of the crude protein. The control group was fed with standard farm mixtures, while the trial group were fed with mixtures containing 4/3/2% of fish meal. The obtained results showed that the use of fish meal resulted in better average daily gain and feed conversion in starter period (27-51 day).

Stimulation Of

Phytogene feed additives (phytobiotics) are plant origin compounds used in animal nutrition in order to improve their productivity by improving the production performance of animals, feed properties and the quality of food of animal origin. These additives stimulate animal growth by using their natural and physiological potentials and mechanisms providing conditions for the realization of the genetically projected production volumes. Data on the use of phytobiotics as growth stimulators are incomplete and often very contradictory, especially those related to their impact on the health and performance of weaned pigs. Given the relevance and importance of these issues the feeding trial was organized by the group-control system. The experiment lasted for 40 days and it was divided into two phases of 20 days each. Trial was conducted on 24 piglets, F1 generation of Swedish Landrace and Pietrain, weaned from sows at the age of 35 days. Tests were carried out on piglets, with an average body weight of 8.61?1.59 kg, which were subjected to one of the two feeding treatments immediately after weaning. The control group was fed with a mixture without growth promoters, while the experimental group received a diet containing preparation of phytobiotic (Enviva EO 101, Danisco Animal Nutrition) in the amount recommended by the manufacturer (0.1 kg/t). The mixtures for piglets nutrition were formulated in accordance with the recommendations of the NRC (1998), and AEC (1993) and they met the nutritional requirements completely. During the experiment, there was no disturbance of health and/or the manifestation of clinical signs of disease. The control group, fed with the diet without added growth stimulators, achieved body weight (25.32?6.31 kg), average daily gain (0.42?0.12 kg), consumption (0.89 kg) and feed conversion (2.119 ) normal for a given race, age and housing conditions. The use of preparation of phytobiotics as growth promoters, led to better production results in regard to the control group, which was based on higher body weight (27.19?4.77 kg), higher average daily gain (0.46?0.09 kg) and better feed conversion (2.043). The use of phytobiotic, as an alternative option in growth stimulation of weaned pigs, has its nutritive, medical and economic justification.

O objetivo do presente experimento foi determinar os efeitos do ionóforo monensina (Rumensin ), uma fonte de uréia de liberação lenta (Anipro ) e sua associação em bovinos confinados. Foram utilizados 92 bovinos bloqueados por raça e peso e distribuídos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos: grupo controle (n=23); grupo Rumensin (n=25); grupo Anipro (n=23); e o grupo da associação de ambos (n=22). Os animais receberam dietas totais misturadas a base de silagem de milho, milho moído e caroço de algodão, contendo níveis iguais de energia (70% NDT) e proteína bruta (12%). Os dois grupos que receberam Anipro apresentaram ingestão alimentar significativamente menor do que os grupos controle e Rumensin , o que levou a ganho médio diário, peso final e peso de carcaça significativamente menores, porém sem efeito sobre conversão alimentar ou rendimento de carcaça. Não se observou qualquer efeito de Rumensin , possivelmente devido ao baixo nível de proteína bruta da dieta, ou também ao baixo nível de proteína verdadeira da dieta. Também não houve efeito significativo da interação entre os dois componentes. Monensin and slow-release urea on the performance of feedlot steers Abstract The objective of the present experiment was to determine the effects of the ionophore monensin (Rumensin ), a slow-release source of urea (Anipro ) and their association on feedlot cattle. A total of 92 steers were blocked by breed and weight and were randomly assigned to four groups: Control group (n=23); Rumensin group (n=25); Anipro group (n=23); and the association group (n=22). They received total mixed rations based on corn silage, ground corn and cottonseed, with equal levels of energy (70% TDN) and crude protein (12%). Both groups receiving Anipro showed a significantly lower feed intake, which led to significantly lower average daily gain, slaughter and carcass weight, with no effect on feed conversion and carcass yield. No effect of Rumensin was seen, possibly due to the low crude protein level of the diets, as well as the low level of true protein. There was also no significant effect on the interaction of the two components.

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of Broussonetia papyrifera (BP) on growth performance, rumen fermentation, digestion and meat quality in Huanghuai white goats. Diets were developed with increasing doses of BP to replace maize silage [0% (control), 15% (BP15), 30% (BP30) and 45% (BP45)]. The design was completely randomized with 4 groups of 10 animals each, totalizing 40 animals (aged 150 ± 10 days and body weight of 25.32 ± 0.52 kg). Final body weight, average daily gain and average daily feed intake increased (linear and quadratic, P < 0.05) as BP increased in the diet. The highest body weight and average daily gain were seen in the BP30 group. Feed conversion ratio also improved significantly (linear and quadratic, P < 0.05) with the increasing level of BP. Although the concentration of microbial protein (MCP) in a linear (P = 0.0028) and quadratic (P = 0.0035) fashion with increasing level of BP, however, NH3-N in a quadratic (P = 0.0841) fashion with increasing level of BP. Crude protein was increased with increasing BP in the diets (linear and quadratic, P < 0.05). Nitrogen intake, urinary excretion nitrogen and nitrogen retention were significantly improved (linear and quadratic, P < 0.05) with dietary BP addition in goats. Dietary BP supplementation increased pH (linear and quadratic, P < 0.05) and tended to reduce L* (lightness) (linear and quadratic, P < 0.05). Additionally, the redness value of meat was significantly improved by BP addition (linear and quadratic, P < 0.05). The inclusion of BP in the goat diet promotes growth and increases the digestibility of crude protein in addition to improving the meat colour and rumen fermentation.

Limited studies on evaluation of the nutritive value of sugar beet seed (Beta vulgaris ) waste (SBSW) and its application in beef or lamb production have been carried out in its producing countries. SBSW is one of the side products of sugar beet seed which approximately a quarter of seeds can not be used in cultivation and is considered as waste. Consisting of 17% whole seeds and the rest as cracked seeds or hulls, SBSW contains 14.5, 32.5, 1.3, 16.9, 27.5, 39 and 49.9 percent CP, CF, EE, NFE, CF, Ash, ADF and NDF respectively. Also, SBSW contains 3.20 Mcalkg-1 Potkanski and Urbaniak (1985) reported an improved average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in comparison to wheat straw because of its better essential amino acid index, which is close to wheat grain, but there is no report on its effects on fat tail composition. This trial was performed to examine SBSW replacement effects in fattening Chal lamb rations.

ABSTRACTThe effects of feeding monensin and amicloral at 33 and 1500 mg/kg of diet, respectively, were investigated in two experiments using 330-kg steers. Monensin and amicloral, either alone or in combination, increased the digestibility of organic matter and crude fibre compared with a control diet (P< 0·001). Crude protein digestibility was increased by monensin (P< 0·001). Use of monensin and amicloral, alone or in combination, increased molar proportions of propionic acid by 22% on average (P> 0·05), and monensin decreased butyric acid by 37% (P< 0·05).Ruminal ammonia concentrations were lower in steers fed monensin (P< 0·05). Steers fed monensin consumed 6 % less feed, gained 9 % more weight (P< 0·05) and utilized feed 14% more efficiently (P< 0·05) than control animals. Amicloral, either alone or with monensin, lowered feed intake by 11 % (P< 0·05), had no effect on average daily gain and improved feed efficiency by about 12% (P< 0·05). There were no treatment effects on any of the carcass parameters.

The results of the influence of different amounts of triticale grain in feed on productivity, feed conversion and economic parameters of young rabbits for intensive growing technology are presented. For the feeding of experimental young, full-grain granulated feed was used in the structure of which there was a different grain content of triticale: experimental group II – 10.0%, III, IV and V experimental groups – 20.0%, 30.0% and 40.0% respectively. Experimental young rabbits of the first control group fed full-range feed, which was balanced by the main nutrients. According to the results of the research, it was found that from the 2nd week fattening in rabbits of experimental groups, which received a grain of triticale in the diet, an increase in live weight was observed in comparison with the control group. During the whole period of cultivation, the highest average daily gain of live weight was observed in rabbits of experimental group IV, which was 42.5 g, which is 10.1% higher compared to control. The advantage of rabbits II, III and V of experimental groups fed 10.0%, 20.0% and 40.0% of tritiacale derivatives was 3.0, 5.7% and 1.0%, respectively, in comparison with analogues of the control group. A similar trend was observed in terms of the absolute increase in live weight. According to the indicator of integrated assessment (RBC) of young rabbits, based on the average daily gain and width of the lumbar, the highest value was found in youngsters in the IV group (277.95) for the use of mixed fodders containing 30% of the grain yield of Triticale Harroza variety in the diet. The prospects of further research concerning the influence of various amounts of the investigated feed factor on reproductive indices of rabbits are outlined.

An experiment to compare the effects on digestibility of alkali treated Gamba grass (Andropogon gayanus) straw was conducted with four Borno white male goats (22.25 ± 1.0kg body weight) in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. Treatments were (A) untreated straw (control), (B) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treated straw, (C) Kanwa-treated and (D) Kantu-treated straws. Straw was treated separately with solutions (8%) of NaOH, Kanwa and Kantu for 10 minutes prior to ensiling for 20 days. In treatment A, straw was soaked in water before ensiling. Alkali treatment increased the ash and crude protein, but decreased the crude fibre, nitrogen free extract and energy contents of the silage diets. The ether extract content of the diets was not affected by treatment. Dry matter intake (g/day/Wkg ) of alkali treated diets was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the control The NaOH-treated diet was consumed less (P<0.05) than the Kantu-treated diet, but to the same extent as the Kanwa diet. Nitrogen balance was positive in animals consuming the alkali-treated diets and negative for those in the control group. Apparent N-digestibility were similar in the alkali treated diets and better (P<0.05) titan in the control. Digestibility coefficients of dry matter, crude protein and crude fibre were not significantly different among the alkali treated diets. However, they were markedly improved (P<0.05) than in the control diet (A). The results indicated that the natural alkali sources (Kanwa and Kantu) compared favourably with NaOH in improving the nutritive value of Gamba grass hay. Further work however should be undertaken to ascertain the optimal level of their application under the semi-arid environment of Borno State.
