Feeding has been evolved to be an important tool to in feeding to support animal production. When the production enhancement was considered a task in animal industry balanced animal rations were developed. The ration consists of forages, grain, protein meals and other concentrate feeds. The above ration may contain elements required and not required by the animal. It was arduous to separate the not required elements which may require sophasticated process...

Grain producers are often looking for ways to increase revenues from their land. In the Upper Plains it might not be economical, or even practical, to plant another grain crop during the growing year; however, it may be in the producer’s interest to consider a cover crop. Cover crops provide multiple benefits to the producer and the environment. The primary benefit is additional forage production from the growth of the cover crop which can be used by the...

Feed prices for the last 5 years have been at historic highs. Coupled with periods of low milk prices, this has resulted in extremely tight (sometimes negative) margins for dairy producers. The ability of ruminants to convert lower digestibility feedstuffs (forages and other high fiberfeeds) into useable products has always been a positive attribute and one that has historically allowed the use of lower cost feedstuffs,...

INTRODUCTION In calf rearing systems, an early and high intake of concentrate and roughage is encouraged to ensure a better development of the forestomach. In order to achieve this goal, high concentrate diets are fed with free availability of good quality forage after weaning the calves to achieve greater growth rates (Moran, 2002). The effects of age, weaning, and different diets, especially during pre-ruminant stage on metabolic changes and...

INTRODUCTION The interest in search for alternative/additional feed ingredients is of paramount importance in developing countries, mainly, because of the acute shortage of traditional feed materials. Introduction of saline agriculture production systems in salt affected regions has proved to be an effective way to save fresh water for human and animal consumption while the saline water could be used for animal feed...

INTRODUCTION The available amount of green fodder through the summer season in Egypt is usually insufficient for animal feeding leading to increasing prices of diets. Therefore, attempts have been carried out to search for alternative non-conventional low price by-products, which could be used in animal feeding. Moreover, 21 million tons of agricultural crop residues are produced in Egypt annually (Deraz, 1996). However,...

Introduction Genetic evolution of production animals and the increase of food demand have required high quality and digestibility products for animal feeds use. In Brazil, especially in Paraná State, soybean has been given prominence in relation to other cultures due to sale price rises and the knowledge and adoption of production techniques (GOLDFLUS, 2001). ...

INTRODUCTION Goat is one of the most important livestock species in rural areas. In Sudan, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia researches showed that goats are reared for their meat, milk or both meat and milk ( Gaddour et al. , 2007; El-Hassan El-Abid et al. , 2008; Arain et al. , 2010 and Mousa, 2011 ). Sunflower is popular with small-scale...

INTRODUCTION Sheep and goats are most productive when fed a balanced ration according to their nutrient needs. The needed nutrients should also be supplied at lowest possible cost. This can be done if producers use locally available feed ingredients and use purchased feeds only to fill the gap in nutrient supply from the locally available feeds. If the producer has more than one type of feed as a source of a nutrient...

INTRODUCTION Ruminants have unique ability to utilize the fibrous material through anaerobic fermentation ( Kibria et al., 1991 ), therefore, sunflower seed meal (SFM) can be efficiently used as a sole source of supplemental protein for ruminants ( Lardy and Anderson, 2002 ). Cottonseed cakes (CSC) are being traditionally used as a feed for dairy animals....

Corn grain usually makes up 30 to 35% of the total ration dry matter of a typical Midwestern lactating cow diet. Therefore, changes in corn price can have a significant impact on total feed costs. Since 2006 corn prices have doubled from nearly $3 to $6 in 2011. This price increase translates into the cost to feed a dairy cow by almost $1.00/cow/day. This is assuming an average corn crop but, in the event of a drought or any natural disaster, prices will drastically change...
