THE EFFECT OF DENTAL FLOATING ON NUTRIENT DIGESTION IN NON- PREGNANT QUARTER HORSE MARES
Irregular wear patterns can cause poor feed digestion, weight loss, performance problems, and pain in the horse when wearing a halter or bridle. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that dental floating would increase crude protein and fiber digestion in non-pregnant stock-type …

Evaluation of a phytogenic feed additive on performance, nutrient digestion, and absorption in turkey poults
… in AMEn, crude protein digestibility, or nutrient transporter or pancreatic enzyme mRNA expression among treatments. However, aminopeptidase activity tended to be lower in the ileum of poults fed the PC or PFA diets compared to the NC, suggesting that the PFA may be improving protein …

Effects of treating lignocellulosics with alkaline hydrogen peroxide on feed intake and digestion by dairy cattle
Lower nutrient digestibility and feed intake has limited the amount of lignocellulosic residues and by-products fed in the dairy production system. The alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment of lignocellulosics has been shown to increase degradation of structural carbohydrates by ruminal …

Study of the Effect of Feeding Highly Digestible Corn Based Calf Starter on the Growth Performance of Calves
… allows for greater ruminal and intestinal starch digestion. The altered starch structure of these new hybrids results in reduced feed manufacturing costs (i.e., grinding). Thirty (30) 1 to 3 d old (40.6 ± 1.72 kg) Holstein heifer calves were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 calf starters to measure …

Intake, digestion site, extent of digestion and digesta kinetics in grazing lactating cows
… cost. Little is known about the efficiency of nutrient utilization by lactating cows under grazing conditions. The objective of this study, therefore, was to investigate ruminal turnover, intake and site and extent of nutrient digestion in grazing lactating cows. Four dual cannulated (rumen and …

Effects of dietary enzyme supplementation on performance, bone ash, small intestinal morphology, and apparent ileal amino acid digestibility of broilers exposed to a live coccidia oocyst vaccine
… diets were formulated according to Cobb 500 nutrient recommendations (positive control; PC) with the exception of Ca and available P (aP), which were reduced in the negative control (NC) diets approximately 0.1% (EXP 1), 0.11 and 0.13%, respectively (EXP 2), and 0.13% (EXP 3). Negative …

Comparsion of digestion and particle-associated bacteria after in situ incubation of different barley varieties in the rumen of cattle
… among barley varieties and result in different digestion efficiencies. It is not known if compositional differences in barley can affect the particle-associated bacteria (PAB) involved in digestion. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the in situ rumen digestion and PAB of …
