The purpose of the research was to determine the effect of the foliar use of a growth regulator with the trade name of Tytanit, containing titanium ascorbate, on photosynthetic activity and chlorophyll content in Medicago × varia T. Martyn leaves. There were two kinds of plots: C – control series; Ti – plants treated with Tytanit, containing 8.5 g of titanium in 1 dm3. The following parameters were determined: maximum photosystem II efficiency (Fv/Fm) in a dark-adapted state, actual photosystem II efficiency (ΔF/Fm’) in a light-adapted state, photochemical quenching factor (QP), non-photochemical quenching factor (QN), and chlorophyll a and b content. The Fisher-Snedecor test was used to determine whether the impact of experimental factors was significant, and the HSD 0.05 value was calculated using Tukey’s test. Compared to control, the photosynthetic apparatus performance of alfalfa was positively affected by the regulator compared to control. Tytanit applied to plant leaves increased their photosynthetic activity as a result of an increase in the content of chlorophyll pigments. It was also found that periods of rainfall deficiency did not affect the beneficial effects of the regulator. 相似文献

Alternative forages can be used to provide valuable home-grown feed for ruminant livestock. Utilising these different forages could affect the manure value and the implications of incorporating these forages into farming systems, needs to be better understood. An experiment tested the hypothesis that applying slurries from ruminants, fed ensiled red clover (Trifolium pratense), lucerne (Medicago sativa) or kale (Brassica oleracea) would improve the yield of hybrid ryegrass (Lolium hybridicum), compared with applying slurries from ruminants fed ensiled hybrid ryegrass, or applying inorganic N alone. Slurries from sheep offered one of four silages were applied to ryegrass plots (at 35 t ha−1) with 100 kg N ha−1 inorganic fertiliser; dry matter (DM) yield was compared to plots only receiving ammonium nitrate at rates of 0, 100 and 250 kg N ha−1 year−1. The DM yield of plots treated with 250 kg N, lucerne or red clover slurry was significantly higher than other treatments (P<0.001). The estimated relative fertiliser N equivalence (FNE) (fertiliser-N needed to produce same yield as slurry N), was greatest for lucerne (114 kg) >red clover (81 kg) >kale (44 kg) >ryegrass (26 kg ha−1 yr−1). These FNE values represent relative efficiencies of 22% (ryegrass), 52% (kale), 47% (red clover) and 60% for lucerne slurry, with the ryegrass slurry efficiency being lowest (P = 0.005). Soil magnesium levels in plots treated with legume slurry were higher than other treatments (P<0.001). Overall, slurries from ruminants fed alternative ensiled forages increased soil nutrient status, forage productivity and better N efficiency than slurries from ruminants fed ryegrass silage. The efficiency of fertiliser use is one of the major factors influencing the sustainability of farming systems, these findings highlight the cascade in benefits from feeding ruminants alternative forages, and the need to ensure their value is effectively captured to reduce environmental risks. 相似文献

The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare feed intake, milk production, milk composition and organic matter (OM) digestibility in dairy cows fed different grass and legume species. Data from the literature was collected and different data sets were made to compare families (grasses v. legumes, Data set 1), different legume species and grass family (Data set 2), and different grass and legume species (Data set 3+4). The first three data sets included diets where single species or family were fed as the sole forage, whereas the approach in the last data set differed by taking the proportion of single species in the forage part into account allowing diets consisting of both grasses and legumes to be included. The grass species included were perennial ryegrass, annual ryegrass, orchardgrass, timothy, meadow fescue, tall fescue and festulolium, and the legume species included were white clover, red clover, lucerne and birdsfoot trefoil. Overall, dry matter intake (DMI) and milk production were 1.3 and 1.6 kg/day higher, respectively, whereas milk protein and milk fat concentration were 0.5 and 1.4 g/kg lower, respectively, for legume-based diets compared with grass-based diets. When comparing individual legume species with grasses, only red clover resulted in a lower milk protein concentration than grasses. Cows fed white clover and birdsfoot trefoil yielded more milk than cows fed red clover and lucerne, probably caused by a higher OM digestibility of white clover and activity of condensed tannins in birdsfoot trefoil. None of the included grass species differed in DMI, milk production, milk composition or OM digestibility, indicating that different grass species have the same value for milk production, if OM digestibility is comparable. However, the comparison of different grass species relied on few observations, indicating that knowledge regarding feed intake and milk production potential of different grass species is scarce in the literature. In conclusion, different species within family similar in OM digestibility resulted in comparable DMI and milk production, but legumes increased both DMI and milk yield compared with grasses. 相似文献

Red clover and alfalfa were inoculated with Pratylenchus penetrans and grown in an Alberry sandy loam soil to which potassium (K⁺) was added at seeding at 0, 41.5, 83, and 166 μg/g. In one experiment with alfalfa, additional K⁺ was added after each forage cut to replace that which was removed. Nematode populations were not consistently affected by K⁺ fertilization. Nematode infection stunted red clover and alfalfa and resulted in lower yields at all K⁺ levels, except for alfalfa at the lowest K⁺ level. Nematode infection had no effect on taproot yields. However, it resulted in lower rootlet yields from red clover at all K⁺ levels, lower rootlet yields from alfalfa only at the highest K⁺ level in one experiment, and lower rootlet yields at all but the lowest K⁺ level in a second experiment, potassium fertilization enhanced yield of red clover and alfalfa. Yield increases were smaller from increased K⁺ fertilization in nematode-infested soil than in noninfested soil. Pralylenchus penetrans had little effect on the K⁺ content of red clover or alfalfa. The stunting of plants from nematode infection resulted in less K⁺ being removed from the soil. 相似文献

Background and Aims
Current agricultural practices are based on growing monocultures or binary mixtures over large areas, with a resultant impoverishing effect on biodiversity at several trophic levels. The effects of increasing the biodiversity of a sward mixture on dry matter yield and unsown species invasion were studied.Methods
A field experiment involving four grassland species [two grasses – perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) – and two legumes – red clover (Trifolium pratense) and white clover (Trifolium repens)], grown in monocultures and mixtures in accordance with a simplex design, was carried out. The legumes were included either as single varieties or as one of two broad genetic-base composites. The experiment was harvested three times a year over three years; dry matter yield and yield of unsown species were determined at each harvest. Yields of individual species and interactions between all species present were estimated through a statistical modelling approach.Key Results
Species diversity produced a strong positive yield effect that resulted in transgressive over-yielding in the second and third years. Using broad genetic-base composites of the legumes had a small impact on yield and species interactions. Invasion by unsown species was strongly reduced by species diversity, but species identity was also important. Cocksfoot and white clover (with the exception of one broad genetic-base composite) reduced invasion, while red clover was the most invaded species.Conclusions
The results show that it is possible to increase, and stabilize, the yield of a grassland crop and reduce invasion by unsown species by increasing its species diversity.Key words: Cocksfoot, Dactylis glomerata, diversity effect, invasion, legumes, perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne, red clover, Trifolium pratense, simplex design, statistical modelling, transgressive over-yielding, white clover, T. repens 相似文献6.
Invasion of 2-day-old seedlings of ''Buffalo'' alfalfa and ''Kenland'' red clover by larvae of M. incognita and adults of P. penetrans, during 1-3 day periods of incubation at 24 C, was investigated in 50-mm petri dishes on 1% agar. Penetration by both nematodes increased arithmetically with increased numbers in inocula. P. penetrans invaded alfalfa more readily than red cover, but M. incognita invaded red clover more readily than alfalfa. Both nematodes inhibited root-elongation of alfalfa more than that of red clover. In combinations of 10 and 50 of both nematodes, invasion of both plants by both nematodes was the same as for each nematode alone. Penetration by M. incognita into alfalfa, but not into red clover, was significantly reduced when combinations of 50 M. incognita and 200 P. penetrans were inoculated simultaneously. In the presence of large numbers of entrant P. penetrans in both plants, penetration by M. incognita was highly significantly reduced. Penetration by P. penetrans was unaffected in the reciprocal situations. 相似文献

Nutritional quality and yield of seedling alfalfa established with a barley companion crop and weeds
《Animal Feed Science and Technology》2003,103(1-4):163-169
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was established with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and weeds to determine the effect of weed management treatments on yield and nutritional quality of alfalfa and companion crop and weeds. Alfalfa+barley and alfalfa+wild oat (Avena fatua L.) had much higher yields in August of the first year than alfalfa alone. Total yields for the first three harvests were similar for alfalfa established weed free, with broad leaf weeds, wild oat or green foxtail (Setaria viridis L.). Protein contents in forage from the August harvest were 228, 196, 117 and 181 g/kg dry matter (DM) in weed free alfalfa, alfalfa plus broadleaf weeds, alfalfa plus wild oat, and alfalfa plus green foxtail, respectively. Alfalfa+barley had higher total in vitro gas production than pure alfalfa, which is correlated with the digestibility of the forage. Total in vitro gas production indicated that alfalfa+barley+weeds had slightly lower digestibility than weed free alfalfa+barley. However, alfalfa with a high percentage of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), wild oat or green foxtail had similar or higher in vitro gas production than pure alfalfa. The results from this experiment support a previous economic study that indicated herbicide application for weed control in seedling alfalfa was not necessary. 相似文献

Sixteen growing castrated lambs (37.0 ± 3.31 kg) were used in two 5 × 5 and one 6 × 6 Latin squares to measure the intake and digestibility of: (1) urea—molasses-treated straw, or mixtures containing (2) 25; (3) 50; or (4) 75% dried grass; and (5) grass alone. The dry matter intake was 40, 50, 69, 84 and 90 g day?1 per kg of metabolic live weight (P<0.001), and digestibility was 470, 489, 591, 671 and 735 g kg?1, respectively, for the above treatments. The dry matter intake of lambs offered diets 2, 3 and 4 as complete diets was 47, 56 and 66 g day?1 kg of metabolic live weight, and digestibility was 513, 621 and 673 g kg?1, respectively. When the feeds were offered separately, dry matter intake was 54, 63 and 78 g day?1 per kg of metabolic live weight and digestibility was 541, 582 and 662 g kg?1, respectively. Dry matter intake for mixed diets was higher (P<0.01) than for feeds given separately. 相似文献

This study investigated the effect of forage type (grass or red clover) and harvesting time (primary growth or regrowth) of silage on energy and N utilisation by sheep fed at maintenance level. Specifically, the assumption of constant loss of energy of digestible organic matter from energy losses in urine and CH4 applied in evaluation of silage metabolisable energy (ME) was investigated. Urinary excretion of high-energy phenolic compounds related to solubilisation of lignin was assumed to affect urinary energy (UE) losses from sheep fed highly digestible grass silage (GS). A total of 25 primary growth and regrowth silages of timothy (Phleum pratense) and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) grass mixtures and red clover (Trifolium pratense) samples collected in digestibility trials with sheep, including faecal and urine samples, were used for energy and N determinations. Urinary concentration of monophenolic compounds and CH4 emissions in vitro were also analysed. Daily faecal N output, CH4 yield (MJ/kg DM intake), proportion of CH4 energy in digestible energy (DE) and proportion of UE in DE were greater (P ≤ 0.03) in sheep fed red clover silage (RCS) than GS. Furthermore, less (P = 0.01) energy was lost as UE of DE in sheep fed primary growth GS compared with the other treatments. The relationship between UE and silage N intake or urinary N output for both silage types (i.e. grass v. red clover) was strong, but the fit of the regressions was better for GS than RCS. The CH4/DE ratio decreased (P < 0.05) and the UE/DE ratio increased (P < 0.05) with increasing organic matter digestibility in RCS. These relationships were not significant (P < 0.05) for the GS diets. The regression coefficient was higher (P < 0.05) for GS than RCS when regressing ME concentration on digestible organic matter. The results of this study imply that ME/DE ratio is not constant across first-cut GS of different maturities. The ME production response may be smaller from highly digestible first-cut GS but could not be clearly related to urinary excretion of monophenols derived from solubilisation of lignin. Furthermore, energy lost in urine was not clearly defined for RCS and was much more predictable for GS from silage N concentration. 相似文献

Cellulose residue (cellufiber) from an ammonium base acid sulphite paper process was accepted by dairy heifers to the extent of 40% of the dry matter of an all-roughage ration when mixed with maize (Zea mays) silage at time of feeding. No adverse physiological effects were observed during digestion trials lasting 80 days in which cattle were given successively diets containing 10, 20, 30 or 40% of the ration dry matter as cellufiber. Apparent digestibility of crude protein decreased and digestibility of crude fibre and acid detergent fibre increased as the cellufiber level in the ration increased. Digestibility coefficients of dry matter, nitrogen-free extract and gross energy were unaffected.Uniformity of values for total digestible nutrients, digestible energy and metabolizable energy and, also, of the body weight gains by the test animals indicated only small differences in nutritive value between rations. However, estimated nutritive values of ration components indicated appreciable differences. The TDN of cellufiber was 56% which was approximately equal to that of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) hay and was 82% of the value of maize silage. However, the digestible energy value of cellufiber (1.93 Mcal/kg DM) was only 77% of alfalfa hay and 69% of maize silage. Similarly, its metabolizable energe value of 1.41 Mcal/kg DM was 69% of that of alfalfa hay and 61% of that of maize silage. 相似文献

Winter rye (Secale cereale L.) is becoming increasingly important as substrate for biogas production in Central Europe. Dry matter yield has evolved as a breeding goal comparably important to the traditional grain yield. We analyzed the covariation between both traits and tested other agronomic traits for their correlation to dry matter yield that could be used for prediction of biomass yield. A set of 258 experimental hybrids were tested for dry matter yield harvested at late milk stage and grain yield harvested at full ripening at three to four locations in Germany in 2011 and 2012. We observed a wide range of dry matter yield (10–24 Mg ha?1) and grain yield (6–15 Mg ha?1) among testcross progenies. Genetic variances were significantly (P?<?0.01) different from zero for all traits. High entry-mean heritabilities (0.92–0.94) were found for plant height measurements and moderate heritabilities for grain and dry matter yield (0.52 and 0.49, respectively). Relative efficiencies for selection of dry matter yield estimated by second (EC 51–55) and third (EC 73) measurements of plant height were 1.24 and 0.98 respectively, compared to 0.52 for grain yield. Indirect selection for high dry matter yield using late plant height measurements should be successful. Using grain yield for indirect selection was less effective. The observed broad genetic variation for biomass yield in elite hybrid rye gives good prospects for the use as a resource of renewable energy. Plant height is a good predictor of dry matter yield but should be selected together with improved lodging resistance. 相似文献

The influence of selected plant species on egg hatch and subsequent development of Heterodera glycines race 3 was investigated. Plants tested included four soybean cultivars, red clover, alfalfa, hairy vetch, field corn, sweet corn, cabbage, tobacco, cotton, and wheat. Soybean stimulated egg hatching more than any of the other plant species, with H. glycines-resistant cultivars being more stimulating than susceptible ones. Hairy vetch also increased hatch. Roots of cabbage, red clover, alfalfa, and hairy vetch were readily penetrated by juveniles of H. glycines. Maturation to adult occurred only on soybean and hairy vetch. 相似文献

We evaluated effects of hybrid and advancing plant maturity on performance, chemical composition, and nutritional characteristics of whole plant forage maize as well as the relative contributions of its plant fractions at high latitudes. Three maize hybrids, Avenir (FAO 180), Isberi (FAO 190) and Burli (FAO 210), were grown in southern Sweden in a field experiment with a replicated complete randomized block design. Plants were harvested four times during maturation, and dry matter (DM) yield and DM as a proportion of fresh weight were recorded. Whole plants were separated into four morphological fractions representing stems, leaves, kernels and cobs and the contribution of each fraction to the DM of the whole plant was estimated. Plant material was subjected to chemical analysis followed by measurement of in vitro gas production (GP) in buffered rumen fluid and finally, by calculation of in vitro true digestibility of organic matter (OM) and neutral detergent fibre (aNDFom). The GP profiles were fitted to a first order kinetic model with a discrete lag. Parameters describing the GP profiles were used in a recently developed mechanistic two compartment rumen degradation model to estimate in vivo OM digestibility (OMD) and first order rate of degradation in the rumen. Hybrids were compared and effects of maturity were assessed by analysis of variance using DM concentration as covariate. There were differences (P<0.05) among the hybrids in DM yield and relative contributions of the plant fractions. Differences (P<0.05) in modelled in vivo digestibility of OM and rates of degradation also occurred among hybrids. Increased maturity caused a reduction in in vitro digestibility of aNDFom in all plant fractions (P<0.05), but increased the rate of rumen degradation of OM in the whole plant as evaluated from GP results. The DM yield had a quadratic relationship with increasing maturity, with maximum yield at a DM concentration of about 370 g/kg. In vitro GP can describe the nutritive characteristics of forage maize in relation to advancing maturity and increased maturity affected agronomic performance and plant composition as well as the nutritive characteristics of hybrids. 相似文献

For the first time, highly elevated levels of mercury (Hg) have been documented for several species of the edible Fungi genus Boletus growing in latosols, lateritic red earths, and red and yellow earths from the Yunnan province of China. Analysis of Hg concentrations in the genus suggests that geogenic Hg is the dominant source of Hg in the fungi, whereas anthropogenic sources accumulate largely in the organic layer of the forest soil horizon. Among the 21 species studied from 32 locations across Yunnan and 2 places in Sichuan Province, the Hg was found at elevated level in all samples from Yunnan but not in the samples from Sichuan, which is located outside the mercuriferous belt. Particularly abundant in Hg were the caps of fruiting bodies of Boletus aereus (up to 13 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus bicolor (up to 5.5 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus edulis (up to 22 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus luridus (up to 11 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus magnificus (up to 13 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus obscureumbrinus (up to 9.4 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus purpureus (up to 16 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus sinicus (up to 6.8 mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus speciosus (up to 4.9mg kg-1 dry matter), Boletus tomentipes (up to 13 mg kg-1 dry matter), and Boletus umbriniporus (up to 4.9 mg kg-1 dry matter). Soil samples of the 0–10 cm topsoil layer from the widely distributed locations had mercury levels ranging between 0.034 to 3.4 mg kg-1 dry matter. In Yunnan, both the soil parent rock and fruiting bodies of Boletus spp. were enriched in Hg, whereas the same species from Sichuan, located outside the mercuriferous belt, had low Hg concentrations, suggesting that the Hg in the Yunnan samples is mainly from geogenic sources rather than anthropogenic sources. However, the contribution of anthropogenically-derived Hg sequestered within soils of Yunnan has not been quantified, so more future research is required. Our results suggest that high rates of consumption of Boletus spp. from Yunnan can deliver relatively high doses of Hg to consumers, but that rates can differ widely because of large variability in mercury concentrations between species and locations. 相似文献

To validate earlier findings using 32P in upland soil and at different depths in lowland soil, ryegrass varieties S.23 or Titania were grown in mixtures with white clover varieties S.184 or Olwen. Unlabelled phosphate (0 or 43 kg P/ha) was applied to the surface or at 30 cm depth in lowland soil, and dry matter yields of grass and clover were measured. In June, on lowland soil, the greatest yield of clover was obtained by surface application. The most productive mixture was S.23/Olwen, although in August Titania outyielded S.23. By October S.23 again outyielded Titania. These results validated the isotopically discovered interactions between phosphate depth and grass/clover mixtures. On upland peat and mineral soil, 0 or 43 kg P/ha was surface applied to the same varietal mixtures. In May, phosphate application to mineral soil slightly decreased clover presence, while clover was increased by mixture with Titania rather than S.23. In July, no significant phosphate effects were found, but in October phosphate increased clover yield and, at least on mineral soil, S.23/Olwen responded most. 相似文献

Legumes of the genera Astragalus (milkvetch), Coronilla (crownvetch), Lathyrus (pea vine), Lotus (birdsfoot trefoil), Medicago (alfalfa), Melilotus (clover), Trifolium (clover), and Vicia (common vetch) were inoculated with a population of Melaidogyne chitwoodi from Utah or with one of three M. hapla populations from California, Utah, and Wyoming.Thirty-nine percent to 86% of alfalfa (M. scutellata) and 10% to 55% of red clover (T. pratense) plants survived inoculation with the nematode populations at a greenhouse temperature of 24 ± 3°C. All plants of the other legume species survived all nematode populations, except 4% of the white clover (T. repens) plants inoculated with the California M. hapla population. Entries were usually more susceptible to the M. hapla populations than to M. chitwoodi. Galling of host roots differed between nematode populations and species. Root-galling indices (1 = none, 6 = severely galled) ranged from 1 on pea vine inoculated with the California population of M. hapla to 6 on yellow sweet clover inoculated with the Wyoming population of M. hapla. The nematode reproductive factor (Rf = final nematode population/initial nematode population) ranged from 0 for all nematode populations on pea vine to 35 for the Wyoming population of M. hapla on alfalfa (M. sativa). 相似文献

Production of Physalis peruviana L. has gained prominence in Northeastern Brazil. However, salinity limits the crop development in the Brazilian semiarid. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the application of Acadian® biostimulant as mitigant of the deleterious effects of salinity on growth and gas exchange of P. peruviana plants. The experiment was combining different electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.50, 1.23, 3.00, 4.44, and 5.50 dS m−1) and biostimulant doses (0.00, 1.45, 5.00, 8.55, and 10.00 mL L−1). The main variables evaluated were plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, root length, leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf area ratio, absolute and relative growth rate for plant height, and gas exchange. Experimental results showed that an increase in electrical conductivity of irrigation water had negatively affected the growth components and gas exchange in P. peruviana. Also, the application of seaweed-based biostimulant improves the photosynthetic capacity (43.3%), reduces transpiration rate (26.5%) and water loss by this process, further it attenuated the deleterious effects of salinity on specific leaf area, leaf area ratio, and stomatal conductance. To further elucidate the effectiveness of biostimulant application as a mitigant of salt stress, research aimed at the biochemical and enzyme activities of the plant''s antioxidant system should be conducted to better understand this process. 相似文献

Regrowth after cutting and the distribution of nitrogen (N),phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in different plant organs ofwhite clover and perennial ryegrass growing in pure or mixedswards were investigated under field conditions in a soil witha low-to-moderate availability of P and K. In all treatments,white clover constituted more than 70% of the above-ground biomassin the mixed swards. The petioles were the dominant pool ofdry matter throughout regrowth and contained the greatest amountsof N, P and K. Increased supply of P and K increased the growthof ryegrass, but not that of white clover in the mixed swards.The increased competition from ryegrass led to a decline inthe yield of white clover laminae as well as in the N contentper unit of dry matter in laminae, petioles and stolons. TheP content of all white clover organs also declined followingP application to the mixed swards, whereas K application increasedtheir K contents. In the pure swards of ryegrass and white clover,yields and contents of N, P and K in the dry matter were eithernot affected or increased following P and K application. Itwas concluded that commonly-used defoliation heights may remove80% or more of the nutrient and dry matter pools located inthe petioles but the remaining quantities of dry matter andnutrients in the petioles will normally exceed the correspondingquantities in the stolons.

Twelve mature wethers were used in an experiment of change-over design to determine the effect of complete diet feeding on intake and digestibility of diets based on alkalitreated straw and a concentrate containing rolled barley and extracted soya bean meal. Two diets were used: D1 with a 50:50, and D2 with a 75:25 ratio of straw:concentrates on a dry matter basis. The straw and concentrates of each diet were given either separately (S) or as a complete diet (C). Complete diets gave a slightly, but not significantly higher intake (C, 86.5) and S, 82.5 g dry matter /kg W0.75 per day). The separate method gave a significantly higher digestibility coefficient for dry matter (C, 62.2 and S, 65.5; P < 0.05) and for crude fibre (C, 57.2 and S, 62.5; P < 0.01). Water intake increased by 42.7 ml g?1 Na derived from NaOH. There were no significant interactions between the method of feeding and the type of diet in intake and digestibility of the diets or in the intake of water. 相似文献

This work was conducted to evaluate the effect of tannins, contained in a by-product derived from olive oil extraction (two-stage olive cake), on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) losses and liver and kidney functions in goats and wethers. Six Segureña wethers and six Granadina goats were fed three experimental diets: alfalfa hay (AH); alfalfa hay and a concentrate (formulated with two-stage olive cake, barley and a mineral-vitamin mixture) without (AHCO) or with polyethylene glycol (PEG) addition (AHCOP). The inclusion of two-stage olive cake increased condensed tannins content of the diet and led to a decrease ( P < 0.001) in dry matter, organic matter, neutral-detergent fibre, acid-detergent fibre and crude protein (CP) digestibility. PEG supply increased ( P < 0.001) CP digestibility and N losses in urine and faeces only in wethers. Concentrations of creatinine and alkaline phosphatase activity, measured in the serum of animals, were not modified either by olive cake inclusion or by PEG supply. Results from this work indicate a higher sensitivity of sheep to diets containing condensed tannins, compared with goats, and reveal no toxic effect of tannins from two-stage olive cake at the concentration used in the experimental diets. 相似文献
