Effect of supplementation with groundnut cake and phosphorus on utilisation of millet stover by sheep and excretion of nutrients por Sangare, M., Fernández Rivera, S., Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y., Pandey, V.S.

“…An experiment was conducted during the dry season in 1998 to determine the influence of supplementation with groundnut cake (GC) (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 g kg-1 LW) and phosphorus (P) (0 and 3 g day-1 animal) on diet and millet stover intake and digestibility, sheep growth rate and nutrient excretion. Total digestible organic matter intake (DOMI, g kg-1 LW 0.75) increased 4.24 (+ or -) 1.26 g per g of GC and decreased -0.31 (+ or -) 0.16 g per g GC2, and tended to increase (P = 0.10) with P supplementation. …”

Multi-criteria assessment of biomethane production from waste and residual feedstocks of Emilia-Romagna (Italy) por Zanaroli, Giovanni

“…In a nutshell, the agricultural feedstocks considered (cow manure and wheat straw) and the agro-industrial (milk and cheese industry by-products and wine industry by-products) respectively have very high and medium theoretical availability and poor or satisfactory suitability for production of biomethane and biofertilizer through single-feedstocks digestion. Organic municipal solid waste (OMSW) and pig slaughterhouse wastes (PSW) have low theoretical availability but are well suitable for the production of biomethane. …”

The performance of Djallonke sheep fed on diets containing various proportions of cocoa pod husk and 5 percent NaOH-treated maize cobs por Tuah, A.K., Obese, F.Y., Orskov, E.R., Okai, D.B., Adomako, D., Amaning, K.O., Said, A.N., Greenhalgh, J.F.D.

“…Feed intake, apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter and organic matter and digestible dry matter and digestible organic matter intakes were measured. In a third experiment, the diets were also given to five fistulated adult wethers (Djallonke X Sahel) in a Latin-square design, and rumen pH was measured from 1 to 12 h and also 24 h after feeding. …”

Strategic supplementation of crossbred steers fed forages from cereal-legume cropping systems with cowpea hay por Umunna, N.N., Osuji, P.O., Nsahlai, I.V.

“…However, the superior digestibility of maize-lablab plus cowpea hay resulted in 1.1 times increased digestible organic matter intake which could explain the superior growth rate of T4 steers (411 vs 283). …”

Effect of groundnut cake and P on millet stover utilisation and nutrient excretion by sheep por Sangare, M., Fernández Rivera, S., Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y., Pandey, V.S.

“…An experiment, was conducted in semi arid Niger to determine the influence of supplementation with groundnut cake (GC) )0 g kg 1, 2.5 g kg 1, 5 g kg 1, and 7.5 g kg 1 live weight (LW)) and P (0 g day`' and 3 g day 1 animal 1) on diet and millet stover intake and digestibility, sheep growth rate, and nutrient excretion. Total digestible organic matter intake (DOMI, g kg 1 LW° 75) increased 4.24 ± 1.26 g g'1 of GC and decreased 0.31 ± 0.16 g g 1 GCz, and increased (P #.0.10) with P.. supplementation. …”
