Estimated SNAN flow per kg of DM intake from the basal diet and protein supplemented diets indicated that 118, 113, 136 and 96 g/kg of N in skimmed milk powder, wet distiller's solubles, untreated rapeseed meal and treated rapeseed meal, respectively, escaped ruminal degradation as SNAN.
Nitrogen (N) content of the basal diet (24 g/kg dry matter (DM)) was increased to 28 g/kg DM by replacing the basal diet with skimmed milk powder (2.1 kg per day), wet distiller's solubles (3.0 kg per day), untreated rapeseed meal (2.1 kg per day) or treated rapeseed meal (2.1 kg per day).
Nineteen sheep averaging 56 kg of initial body weight were used in a completely randomized design to investigate the effects of feeding Ca(OH 2-treated (40 g/kg, OH 2-treatedter basis) or untreated castorseed meal (CSM) sources on intake, total tract digestibility, hepatic function, and microbial protein synthesis and efficiency.
Eleven diets were optimised so that 70% of the phosphorus supply was provided by one of the following oilseed meals: untreated (UT) linseed, groundnut, soybean, rapeseed, sunflower meals, formaldehyde-treated (FT) soybean, rapeseed, sunflower meals, the FT oilseed diets being with or without phytase supplementation (FTP).
The three pelleted supplements were 100% wheat (wheat supplement), 50% wheat and 50% untreated mechanically extracted canola meal (a rumen degradable protein supplement), and 50% wheat and 50% canola meal that had been subjected to additional heat and pressure (a rumen undegradable protein supplement).
However, a lunchtime meal in untreated patients, and treatment with oral sCT, regardless of whether food is taken or not, prevent degradation of both tissues to varying degrees, and produce a correlation between CTX-I and CTX-II.
Rumen-degradable protein concentrations were adjusted by varying the supplies of ground vs. steam-flaked corn grains, and untreated vs. heat-treated soybean meals.
The non-significant variables in the model were: number of meals per day, duration of untreated psychosis, fluctuating initial course, and number of visits to hospital.
Four diets were formulated: two rapeseed diets, consisting of (g/kg dry matter (DM)) 400 grass hay, 250 ground barley grain and 350 untreated (RM) or xylose-treated (RMT) expeller rapeseed meal and two soybean diets, consisting of (g/kg DM) 400 grass hay, 300 ground barley grain and 300 untreated (SB) or formaldehyde-treated (SBT) ground soybeans.
