Diets based on only alfalfa silage and diets based on a mix of alfalfa and corn silage averaged 18.6 and 15.8% CP, 25.8 and 24.7% NDF, 17.7 and 14.8% ADF, and 29.1 and 37.3% starch, respectively.
Compared with females whose fathers were DF, those whose fathers were NDA (OR=0.52; 95% CI 0.30 to 0.91) or NDF (OR=0.51; 95% CI 0.32 to 0.83) were less likely to consume alcohol.
Compared with adolescents whose mothers were DF, those whose mothers were NDA (OR=0.33; 95% CI 0.17 to 0.65) or NDF (OR=0.49; 95% CI 0.25 to 0.94) were significantly less likely to consume alcohol.
Diets were based on soybean hulls, wheat middlings, or corn, which contained increasing concentrations of starch (13, 27, and 42% starch and 42, 23, and 16% NDF, respectively; 8 pens/diet).
The rate of disappearance for DM (8.03 vs. 11.04%), NDF (6.30 vs. 10.28%), and ADF (5.52 vs. 9.19%) increased for the alfalfa hay in rumens of treated cows.
Digestibility coefficients obtained by substitution at this level were 83.8 for CP, 82.8 for EE, 20.3 for NDF, 56.1 for OM, and 59.2 for energy.
All horses were fed a commercial grain mix (12.6% CP, 25.4% NDF, 12.1% ADF, and 4.0% ash) offered at 0.45% of BW (DM basis) daily.
Results of these data analyses showed that peNDF> 1.18 provided a satisfactory estimation of the mean ruminal pH (R2 = 0.67) and NDF digestibility (R2 = 0.56).
L. pallida 14203 contained relatively high levels of the anti-nutritive factors, namely, condensed tannins (82.7 Abs g−1 NDF) and soluble phenolics (27.9 g kg−1 DM).
