Effect of source and amount of protein supplement on voluntary intake and digestibility of sodium hydroxide treated wheat straw by cattle
1995
Ng'ambi, J.W. | Campling, R.C.
Two experiments on Friesian cattle are described. Diets of NaOH treated straw were fed (40kg per tonne). In the first experiment cows were fed ad lib treated straw supplemented by white fishmeal or soyabean meal. It was found that fishmeal supplying UDP was not superior as regards weight gain to concentrates supplying RDP. The second experiment evaluated the effect of the amount of protein supplement on intake and digestibility of NaOH treated wheat straw by cattle. In this experiment, a diet containing 95.6g CP/kg DM was sufficient to ensure high intake and digestibility of straw.
