Influence Of Supplemental Legumes That Contain Tannins And Saponins On Intake And Diet Digestibility In Sheep Fed Grasses That Contain Alkaloids, Jacob Michael Owens

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

My objectives were to determine if nutritional benefits occur when animals are offered foods with compounds -- alkaloids, saponins, and tannins - that are potentially complementary. I hypothesized that food intake and digestibility increase when lambs consume plants such as alfalfa ALF that contain saponins or birdsfoot trefoil (BFT) that contain tannins when the basal diet is endophyte-infected tall fescue (TF) or reed canarygrass (RCG) both of which contain alkaloids. I predicted that the nutritional status of lambs would be enhanced if basal diets of alkaloid-containing grasses were supplemented with ALF or BFT.

Lambs fed a basal diet of either …

Efecto De La Suplementación De Em (Microorganismos Eficientes) En La Alimentación De Conejos Nueva Zelanda En La Fase De Ceba En La Finca El Pedregal Del Municipio De Simijaca, Daniel Andres Ballesteros Salgado

Zootecnia

Este trabajo se realizo con el objetivo de Evaluar el efecto que tiene la adición de EM (Microorganismos Eficientes) en las dietas de conejos Nueva Zelanda en la fase de ceba, en cuanto a la ganancia de peso y días de sacrificio para incrementar su productividad y rentabilidad. Para dicho trabajo, se manejaron 30 conejos en la etapa pos-destete de raza nueva Zelanda con una alimentación de concentrado, kikuyo y adición de EM (Microorganismos Eficientes). Los animales fueron divididos en 4 tratamientos totalmente al azar divididos de la siguiente forma (T1) grupo control: Con alimentación de concentrado; (T2) Alimentación de …
