Weaned Pig

The nutritional value of triticale for weaned pigs is poorly characterized. Six mash diets containing either 66.5% one of two wheat samples or one of four winter or spring triticale cultivars were fed to 72 pens of weaned pigs for 28 d. Average daily feed intake and gain did not differ between pigs fed wheat and triticale diets (P > 0.05). Replacing wheat with triticale increased feed efficiency by 0.02 for spring triticale and 0.03 for winter triticale (P < 0.001). Apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, and gross energy was 1.2, 2.5, and 1.0% higher, respectively, for the triticale diets than the wheat diets (P < 0.05). The nutritional value of the four triticale samples was 1.5% higher for energy than the two wheat samples included in western Canada diets for weaned pigs.

1. Twenty feeding and digestibility trials were carried out on seven tropical grasses to determine their nutritional value at different stages of growth, and to study their suitability as possible pasture grasses.2. Content of crude protein was relatively high at immature growth stages of the forages, and declined rapidly with the onset of flowering.3. Digestibility of dry matter and gross energy increased in most of the forages tested to the 5-week stage of regrowth but declined rapidly in mature stages of forages tested at 6 or 8 weeks of regrowth. Digestibility of crude protein declined with increasing maturity of the forages.4. The Nutritive Value Index of each forage was highest at four or five weeks of regrowth. The optimum time to graze the forages tested would occur between 4 and 5 weeks of regrowth, at the stage when flowering commences. This would combine high yield of forage with high nutritional value.

And Control

The nutritional value of water-damaged wheat and free-flowing wheat from temporary bulk stores at Goondiwindi was determined. Each was fed to meat chickens as the sole grain component or combined in several proportions, and compared with a control wheat in diets of similar nutrient composition. In addition, the nutrient composition of water-damaged and free-flowing wheat from temporary stores at Meeandarra, Thallon, Jandowae and Millmerran in southern Queensland was determined.A progressive reduction in the ratio of total amino acids to crude protein (0.98-0-70 w/w) and innitrogen-free extract (789-685 g kg-1 dry matter) was associated with increasing severity of water damage. Ether extract and gross energy contents of the dry matter were low in water-damaged wheat from all sites, but only the wheat with the most damage had a lower metabolizable energy content (12.99 versus 14.12 MJ kg-1) in the dry matter and as a proportion of gross energy (71% versus 76%) than free-flowing wheat from the same site.The three diets containing high levels of rotten (two diets) and severely water-damaged wheat (one diet) resulted in an average liveweight gain (26.1 g day-1) and feed conversion (1.86) which was poorer than that of the free-flowing wheat (28.1 g day-1, 1.59) and the average of other less water-damaged wheat treatments (29.7 g day-1, 1.57). The higher average liveweight gain of the latter treatments relative to the free-flowing wheat and control (27.3 g day-1) treatments was significant but was not reflected in better feed conversion. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.

Oat groats with high-fat (HFOG) content for weaned pigs were evaluated. The HFOG contained 95 g fat, 159 g crude protein and 5.4 g of apparently digestible lysine per kilogram DM. Weaned pigs (8.5 kg) were fed diets containing 0, 150, 300 or 450 g HFOG kg-1 DM for 4 wk. No difference in overall average daily gain, feed intake or gain-to-feed ratio was observed between treatments. In conclusion, HFOG can replace a mixture of wheat, canola oil and soybean meal (84:7:9) in diets for nursery pigs. Key words: Weaned pig, oat groats, nutritional value, digestibility, growth

Spring Rape

Productivity and nutritional value of poaceous crops sown as a single crop and intercropped with spring rape have been studied. Field and laboratory studies were conducted in 2012–2014 on meadow chernozem mealy-carbonate soil in the forest-steppezone of Trans-BaikalTerritory. Agricultural technology used for fodder crop cultivation was common for this area. The objects of the research were the following recognized varieties: oats Metis, spring rye Onokhoiskaya, spring triticale Ukro, spring rape Shpat. The experimental work was carried out in accordance with the generally accepted guidelines for fi eld experiments. Poaceous crops and spring rape were assessed in terms of their adaptability to growing conditions and their economically valuable characteristics were shown. The possibility of increasing the productivity and nutritional value of fodder agrocenoses by intercropping spring rape with poaceous crops was established. In multi-crop agrocenoses, the yield increased and the quality of feed raw material improved. The best results of agrocenoses in multi-crop sowings were achieved by spring triticale intercropped with spring rape and oats intercropped with spring rape: the yield of green mass was 22.1-23.5 t/ha, the amount of dry matter 5.09-5.19, feed units 3.65-3.83 t/ha, digestible protein 598.6-654.9 kg/ha, gross energy 54.055.5 GJ/ha, availability of digestible protein164171 gper feed unit. In terms of productivity, spring triticale and oats intercropped with spring rape surpassed single-crop poaceous agrocenoses by the following parameters: feed units by 1.1-1.9 times, digestible protein by 1.8-3.6 times, gross energy by 1.3-2.6 times, with 10.6-10.7 MJ of dry matter in one kilogram of exchangeable energy.

Полевые и лабораторные исследования по возделыванию тритикале в смешанных посевах с зернобобовыми культурами проведены в 2014 2016 годах на полях НИИ ветеринарии Восточной Сибири филиала СФНЦА РАН, расположенных в ИнгодинскоЧитинской лесостепи Забайкалья. Цель исследований сравнить урожайность и питательную ценность тритикале в одновидовых и смешанных посевах с зернобобовыми культурами для получения высококачественного корма в условиях Забайкалья. Исследования выполнены на луговочернозёмной мучнистокарбонатной почве. Дана оценка зернобобовым культурам и тритикале по адаптивности к условиям выращивания, показаны их хозяйственно ценные признаки. Установлена возможность повышения продуктивности и питательной ценности кормовых агроценозов путём использования зернобобовых культур (гороха посевного и вики яровой) в смеси с тритикале. По продуктивности и питательной ценности зелёной массы смешанные посевы превосходили одновидовые агроценозы в 1,1 1,6 раза, по сухому веществу в 1,1 1,8 раза, кормовым единицам в 1,1 1,6 раза, переваримому протеину в 1,1 1,9 раза, валовой энергии в 1,2 1,9 раза. Наиболее высокую продуктивность и питательную ценность кормовых агроценозов сформировали смешанные посевы тритикале яровой с викой яровой: урожайность зелёной массы составила 20,2 т/га, сухого вещества 4,63 т/га, кормовых единиц 3,31 т/га, валовой энергии 49,5 ГДж при высокой обеспеченности переваримым протеином 168 г. В Забайкальском крае для обеспечения животноводства полноценным кормами в соответствии с зоотехническими нормами целесообразно использовать зерновые и зернобобовые культуры (тритикале яровую, вику яровую, горох посевной). Из зернобобовых культур наиболее высокой продуктивностью отличались агроценозы вики яровой, превышающие посевы гороха посевного на 8 17. Mixtures of triticale and grain legumes were tested under field and lab conditions in 2014 2016. The research was aimed to compare triticale yield and nutritional value as monoculture and grass mixture. The investigation took place on meadow chernozem carbonate soil. It evaluated the adaptability and economically important traits of triticale and grain legumes. Cultivation of grain legumes (pea and vetch) with triticale improved stand performance. Mixtures exceeded monocultures in green mass productivity and nutritional value by 1.1 1.6 times, dry matter by 1.1 1.8 times, geed units by 1.1 1.6 times, digestible protein by 1.1 1.9 times, gross energy by 1.2 1.9 times. Mixtures of spring triticale with vetch performed the best: green mass yield was 20.2 t ha1, dry matter 4.63 t ha1, feed units 3.31 t ha1, gross energy 49.5 GJ and digestible protein 168 g. Grain and grain legume crops were shown to be the good source of highquality forage, meeting the Standard. Spring vetch had the highest productivity among the grain legumes and exceeded pea by 8 17.

Due to the seasonal cycle of forage, the use of silage to feed animals provides nutrients throughout the year. However, its quality can be improved with the inclusion of additives and other products. Glycerol is a rich source of energy and present a high efficiency of utilization by animals. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of glycerol inclusion on the chemical and fermentation characteristics of corn and sunflower silages. Two silage sources (maize and sunflower) were used and four levels of glycerol inclusion (0, 15, 30 and 45%) based on dry matter were carried out. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement with five replications. The pH values and chemical composition of corn and sunflower silages were determined. In both silages there was increment of dry matter, non-fiber carbohydrates and total digestible nutrients (TDN) added to a reduction of crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber due to the glycerol inclusion. The corn silage required 45% glycerol to achieve the TDN level of the sunflower silage. The glycerol addition contributed to the increase in the nutritional value, offsetting loss of quality in the ensiling process.

The diets contained 23% crude protein and 3100 Kcal ME/kg diet. Blood meal slightly reduced weight gain and feed intake but compared favourably with fish meal and chicken offal meal in efficiency of feed utilization. Parboiling of the blood slightly (P>0.05) depressed the performance of the pigs;even when the pigs had the same feed intake.. Fish meal increased (P<0.05) serum total protein and serum albumin levels.This study indicated that early weaned pigs fed soybean based diets supplemented with chicken offal meal and blood meal gave similar performance to those fed diet supplemented with fish meal.

The average data for 2018–2019 are presented for yield, dry matter content in grain-haylage mass, nutritional value of test grain-haylage samples produced from plant mass of white lupin, oat and Sudan grass from single and mixed cenosis of different sowing times. The grain-haylage mass was harvested in the phase of brilliantly ripening lupin bean, milky-waxy ripeness of oats and the end of flowering of the Sudan grass. It’s revealed that variants of the second sowing date — 2 decade of May — have the best yield of grain-haylage mass and its dry matter content. The yield of grain-haylage mass in the best variants of the second sowing period exceeded by 7–8 t/ha. According to the nutritional value of grain silage samples (the content of metabolic energy, crude protein, crude ash and carotene), the best results were obtained in most variants of the first sowing period. In content of the metabolic energy and crude protein of 1 kg of dry matter of grain-haylage, the best were variants of the single-species cenosis of lupine and its mixture with oats of the first sowing period. Variants of single-species sowing of lupine and Sudan grass were distinguished by the content of carotene.

This study evaluated the chemical composition and ruminal degradability of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and protein (NDFap) and crude protein (CP) in byproducts of African oil palm (palm cake, kernel or fiber), macaúba (pulp cake and kernel cake), acai (acai fruit), babassu (kernel cake) and pineapple (peel, crown and bagasse silage). Nineteen rumen-fistulated sheep were kept in individual stalls, receiving a daily diet composed of elephant grass silage and corn and soybean concentrate. After preparation in nylon bags, the byproduct samples were incubated for 0, 3, 6, 12, 16, 18, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and 144 hours, with three replicates of each ingredient per incubation time. The divergence between the protein nutritional value and energy nutritional value, based on discriminatory variables between groups, was estimated by cluster analysis. The effective degradability of DM, NDFap and CP for the different byproducts was, respectively, 35.9, 26.9 and 59.0% for palm cake; 48.3, 34.3 and 76.4% for palm kernel; 21.1, 6.6 and 50.3% for palm fiber; 34.3, 15.0 and 52.8% for macaúba pulp cake; 58.1; 63.0 and 51.6% for macaúba kernel cake; 49.7, 49.6 and 41.8% for babassu cake; 53.4, 40.5 and 79.8% for pineapple bagasse silage; and 21.3, 17.0 and 38.9% for acai fruit. Based on their NDFap and CP characteristics, the feeds were clustered in up to four different groups.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of sugarcane silage with or without inoculation with P. acidipropionici or L. buchneri, over three fermentation periods. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 3 x 3 inoculant by fermentation period factorial arrangement (without inoculant, inoculant 1, inoculant 2; x three fermentation periods, 10, 60, 90 days). Values of pH, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose (HEM) and lignin were determined and in situ DM degradability profiles were modelled for parameters a, b and c, potential degradation (A) and effective degradability (ED). The 90 day fermentation yielded a lower pH for both inoculants. There was an interaction between inoculant and fermentation period (P < 0.05) for DM content, with a reduction in silage DM without the additive at 90 days. The CP, HEM, ADF and lignin contents of sugarcane were not influenced by the treatments. The addition of P. acidipropionici provided the lowest NDF content at 10 days and presented a higher fraction a, potential degradation and ED. At 60 days, there was no variation in soluble fraction, the control silage showed a higher fraction b, higher potential degradation and ED. At 90 days of fermentation, L. buchneri silages presented a higher fraction a, degradation rate and DE and a higher b value was obtained in the silage without inoculant. Inoculants are effective in maintaining the silage DM content and nutritional value during prolonged fermentation periods.
