The effect of three levels of a soy polysaccharide fiber on plasma lipids, fecal fiber, and apparent fiber digestibility
… to four complete liquid diets at four different fiber levels; one without added soy polysaccharide fiber which served as a control. All subjects were rotated. through four, eleven day controlled feeding periods. Complete fecal samples were collected and composited from the last five days of each …

Improving fiber by-product utilization in high concentrate diets
The effects of starch and fiber combinations in feedlot diets were examined to determine maximum whole shell corn (WSC) inclusion rate in high fiber diets and determine the effects of fibrolytic enzyme addition to WSC diets with increasing fiber inclusion. Soybean hull (SH) diets with increasing …

Nutritional strategies for growing cattle in the Southeastern United States
… was thought to be due to differences in the digestibility of fiber in the rumen. Therefore, experiment 2 was designed to investigate the effect of corn or CGF supplementation on apparent total tract nutrient digestibility when cattle are fed a forage-based diet. However, the results from this …

Corn Co-Products as Feed Ingredients for Swine: Effects on Growth, Carcass Composition and Fiber and Amino Acid Digestibility
… CGF and CGM were evaluated. The amino acid and fiber digestibilities of corn co-products were quantified using pigs fitted with ileal cannulas. The use of the cecectomized rooster as a model to predict pig digestibility values was evaluated. The feeding of diets containing 50% CGM depressed (P …

Protein supplementation and comparative feeding value of alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw-containing diets fed to cattle and lambs
… needed to maximize nitrogen (N) retention and fiber digestibility. Soybean meal (SBM) replaced corn to increase levels of CP (range = 6 to 16% CP). Maximal N retention (% of N intake) and NDF digestibility were obtained with 12% CP. Similar treatments (8.5, 11, 13.5, 16 and 18.5% CP) were used …

Digestibility of Foods and Anthropogenic Feeding of Black Bears in Virginia
… nutrient content as well as percent dry matter digestibility of crude protein, ether extract (a measure of fat), and gross energy. Diets we suspected were high in fiber were additionally evaluated for neutral detergent fiber or acid detergent fiber content and digestibility. Feeding trials were …

THE EFFECT OF DENTAL FLOATING ON NUTRIENT DIGESTION IN NON- PREGNANT QUARTER HORSE MARES
… dental floating would increase crude protein and fiber digestion in non-pregnant stock-type mares. The study was conducted on 16 mares of mature age (4-17) that have not previously received dental care in the previous year. A diet consisting of ad libitum Cynodon dactylon hay and 1.36 kg of a …

Potato pulp as a dietary fiber source in high quality dog foods
… was to evaluate potato pulp (PP) as a functional fiber source in high quality dog diets by investigating in vitro digestion and fermentation characteristics and in vivo responses to graded levels of PP in the diet. Raw and cooked PP both contained 55% total dietary fiber (TDF) with a favorable …

Improving Feed Efficiency Through Forage Strategies for Increasing Dairy Profitability and Sustainability
… of a cobalt-lactate product and its effects on fiber digestibility and milk production parameters when fed to cows consuming a 70% forage diet. Treatments included: 1) CONTROL diet containing 12.5 mg/cow/d of cobalt (carbonate carbonate) and 2) TEST diet being the same basal diet but including …

Digestibility of Two Complete Pelleted Diets by the Horse (Equus caballus) as a Model Animal for Nondomestic Hindgut Fermenters
… (LOW 4.00%, HIGH 7.41%, EE), and acid detergent fiber (LOW 33.7%, HIGH 26.2%, ADF). Daily feed quantities were offered at 33.3 kcal DE BWkg-1 equally distributed over three meals to maintain target BW. Daily feed intake was quantified. Horses had ab libitum access to water. Horses were …

Studies on the nutritional value of poultry litter in ruminants and poultry
… soybean protein as the nitrogen source. Apparent digestibility of crude protein in the rations decreased significantly at each increase of litter nitrogen level beyond 25%. However, the depression of crude protein digestibility at 50% litter nitrogen level was small. Digestibility of the litter …

Effects of soil moisture and al-nitrilotriacetate on yeild chemical composition and digestibility of ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum, L.) by meadow voles
… concerning effects on mineral metabolism and fiber digestibility in animals. Experiments were conducted to investigate effects of flooding and Al-nitrilo-triacetate (Al-NTA) on growth, chemical composition and digestibility of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum, L.). Ryegrass was grown in a …

Effects of feeding CaO treated modified wet distillers grains with solubles or corn stover to cattle on performance, carcass characteristics, and ruminal metabolism
… feeding value for feedlot cattle by increasing fiber digestibility. This may occur through two mechanisms: 1) altering the composition and structure of the cell wall component of forages through delignification, and 2) buffering ruminal acidity. It is currently not known if these mechanisms can …

The Effects of Calcium Hydroxide Treatment of Sunflower Seeds on Ration Digestibility and Rumen Parameters in Holstein Steers
… the RFDM, which may have resulted in increased fiber digestibility with these rations as compared to SCL. The results of this study indicated that the utilization of rolled sunflower seeds in ruminant rations may be improved by treating sunflower seeds with 2 to 4% calcium hydroxide; however, …

Evaluation of chitinous materials as a feed for ruminants
… and retained nitrogen, dry matter, or crude fiber digestibility (P<.05). In a second feeding trial using a 2 x 2 Latin square design, a zero and 20% diet were fed to two groups of five ruminating calves for two time periods. Nitrogen balance data collected as in Trial I on two animals of each …

Factors affecting the nutritional composition and digestibility of corn for silage: Cover crops and cell wall composition
… the crude protein concentration, but reduced the fiber and sugar concentrations of the forages. Even though in vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility was reduced with the addition of legumes, the concentration of highly digestible non-fibrous components is greater in the mixtures than the …

Intake, digestion site, extent of digestion and digesta kinetics in grazing lactating cows
… duodenum (86 vs 75% of N intake). True Nitrogen digestibility averaged 72% and microbial N flowing to the duodenum was 67% of the total N flow. This results indicated that grazing cows may benefit from concentrates containing undegradable protein. Daily OM intake was not different, but when cows …

Manipulation of nutrient flow and digestion in defaunated sheep subjected to various dietary regimens
… decreased total tract organic matter (OM), fiber and crude protein (CP) digestibilities, but increased flow to and digestion in the small intestine (SI) of linoleic and linolenic acids. Urea supplementation improved total tract OM digestibility and B supplementation increased total tract …

Soybean hulls as a dietary fiber source in canine and feline diets
Soybean hulls (SBH) are a fiber-rich co-product of the soybean oil extraction process that corresponds to 8% of the soybean seed. Despite being readily available and priced competitively, SBH are underutilized in monogastric nutrition. Therefore, two studies were conducted to evaluate the use of …
