An experiment has been carried to determine the degradable and non-degradable protein content in grass and concentrated feed and its influence on operated sire rumen cannulation of black-and-white breed (with body weight of 120–160 kg). The grass chemical composition and concentrated feed research shows that there is a wide range of crude protein content and its degradable and non-degradable fractions. The level of crude protein in concentrated feed varies from 96 g (barley grain) to 380–383 g (extruded lupine grain and rapeseed meal). The amount of degradable protein is 81 (barley grain), 303 g (rapeseed meal). Degradability of crude protein ranges from 57 % (extruded rapeseed) to 84–86 % (barley and wheat grain). The crude protein content in the presented samples of grass feed is 27 (corn silage) – 93 g (cereal hay), degradable protein – from 17–19 (cereal hay and corn silage), up to 38 g (mixed grass), non-degradable – 8 (corn silage, 76 g (cereal hay). The degradable and non-degradable protein ration was 2:7. The crude protein increase in summer and winter calve diet up to 70 % contributes a lower accumulation of ammonia in the rumen fluid (by 19.6–20.6 % ) and activation of VFA synthesis (by 16.5–18.2). It also contributes the increase of the ciliate number (by15,7–15,9), total and protein nitrogen (by 7.2–7.4 and 8.0–12.3 %). Feeding on protein degradability (of 65–60 %) lets the rumen metabolism processes slow down, reduce the microbiota enzyme activity, the protein nitrogen proportion and the ammonia level increasing. According to the analysis results of economic diet indices with different protein fractional composition it has been determined that the ration use with protein degradability of 70 %, and metabolizable energy costs – by 4.0–5.0 % are economically reasonable in summer and winter periods. Key words: concentrated feeds, grain, degradable protein, non-degradable protein, calves.

A series of liveweight gain (LWG), feed and water intake and digestibility experiments were conducted across eastern Indonesia. Thirty-six datasets of LWG, feed and water intake, and diet characteristics were used to determine the nutritional requirements of growing Bali cattle fed a wide range of diets that varied in crude protein content and apparent dry matter digestibility. Regression of average daily LWG against estimated metabolisable energy (ME) intake was conducted, and the ME requirements for maintenance of liveweight (LW, 0 kg/day) and LWG were determined. It was estimated that the ME required to maintain LW of this class of Bali cattle, across the range of diets evaluated, was 0.47 MJ ME/kg LW0.75.day and that 34 MJ ME was required for each kg LWG, or 29 g LWG/MJ ME. The relationship between estimated ME intake and LWG was not affected by the crude protein content of the diet. The data demonstrate that ME requirements for maintenance of LW of Bali cattle are comparable with values for other cattle species, but that this class of Bali cattle is generally less efficient in the use of ME for LWG across the range of diets evaluated.

Many factors, most notably climate, soil, genotype and fertilising, can influence barley grain composition and its nutritive value. The aim of the research was to evaluate the impact of mineral N rate in different management systems in the static long-term experiment with three years field rotation of grain maize, wheat and barley on the chemical composition of winter barley and its nutritive value for ruminants. Crude protein content and metabolizable crude protein content were increasing with increased mineral N rates. Higher yield meant lower crude protein and metabolizable crude protein content in all mineral N rates. The average crude protein content of barley grain, presented in DLG tables (1997), which is 12.4%, was in MM and SM reached by fertilising rate 110 kg N/ha. A significant impact of mineral N fertilising on crude ash, ether extract and crude fibre content could not be confirmed, nitrogen-free extract content was decreasing with increased mineral N rates. A significant impact of the management system on the Weende analysis parameters, net energy for lactation, metabolizable energy and metabolizable crude protein could not be confirmed. At both analyses a significant impact of the season was confirmed on crude protein content and nitrogen-free extract content. Although the protein content was increasing with increased mineral N rate from 9.2–14.2% (for 35%) ME content and NEL content did not significantly differ considering mineral N rate; ME/ha and NEL/ha increasing with increased mineral N rates was the result of the yield increasing with increased mineral N rates.

Mischkolz, J. M., Schellenberg, M. P. and Lamb, E. G. 2013. Early productivity and crude protein content of establishing forage swards composed of combinations of native grass and legume species in mixed-grassland ecoregions. Can. J. Plant Sci. 93: 445–454. We evaluated the early establishment productivity of forage swards of native, perennial, cool and warm season grasses, and legumes as they have the potential to provide non-invasive, productive, and drought resistant rangelands. Seven species with agronomic potential and a broad native geographic distribution were selected for testing including: nodding brome [Bromus anomalus (Coult.)], blue bunch wheatgrass [Pseudoregneria spicata (Pursh)], western wheatgrass [Pascopyrum smithii (Rydb.)], side oats grama [Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.)], little blue stem [Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.)], purple prairie clover [Dalea purpurea (Vent.)], and white prairie clover [Dalea candida (Willd.)]. Forage swards, including all seven monocultures, 21 two-species mixtures and a mixture with all species, were planted in two sites, Saskatoon and Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Western wheatgrass (WWG) had the highest overall plant density and the strongest effect on the forage yield of the forage swards; however, productivity and crude protein content were not reduced when other species were also included in the forage sward. Dalea spp. did not establish as well as the other species, but had the highest crude protein concentrations. This work provides insight into forage sward development at the establishment stage; additional work is required to determine long-term species impacts for well established forage swards.
