As the earthworms had been reared on cow dung as the sole feed, upon transfer to vermireactors which had a feed of totally different texture and taste, there might have been an initial sluggishness in feeding.
However, plants containing condensed tannins, such as sainfoin, birdsfoot trefoil, crownvetch (Coronilla varia L). and cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L ., either as sole feeds or in mixtures with potentially bloat-forming forages, never cause bloat (Mueller-Harvey, 2006).
Fish were grown in aquaria and fed a sole source of protein for 56 days and analyzed for δ13C and δ15N ratios in whole fish, muscle, and liver tissues.
A recent study has demonstrated the bifidogenic effect of major fucosylated and sialylated HMO when fed as a sole source of carbon to 25 major isolates of the human intestinal microbiota [ 140].
Soles fed 1.0% showed a higher specific growth rate (SGR) than those fed 0.25% (3.3-fold).
Methylotrophic TMAH-degraders were enriched from an anaerobic digester at a municipal wastewater treatment plant, feeding TMAH as a sole substrate.
No differences in SGR at 60 days were found between densities in spite of reduced values were detected at high density after 20 days (soles fed 0.25%) and 40 days (soles fed 1%) suggesting a compensatory growth.
Oat hay was fed ad libitum as a sole roughage to all animals.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ground corn cobs (GCC) as a sole fiber source in total mixed ration (TMR) on feed intake, milk yield and milk composition in tropical lactating crossbred Holstein cows.
