Chemical treatments for increasing the digestibility of cotton straw: 1. Effect of ozone and sodium hydroxide treatments on rumen metabolism and on the digestibility of cell walls and organic matter

Abstract: The digestibility and rumen metabolism of diets containing as 50 % of their organic matter (OM), cotton straw (CS) untreated, treated with sodium hydroxide and treated with ozone, were studied in sheep cannulated in the rumen and at the duodenum with simple cannulae. The concentration of total volatile fatty acids (VFA) in the rumen of sheep given the ozone and NaOH treatments was higher than in the untreated diet; however, the VFA profiles were not different. The rumen dehydrogenase activity, suggested to ref… Show more

“…Highertemperature (> 160 8C) continuous methods are generally employed for low solid loadings (5 to 10 %), [309] whereas the lowtemperature (< 160 8C) batch process is used for high solid loadings (10 to 40 %). [310] Ozone has been often used to degrade lignin and hemicellulose in many lignocellulose materials, such as rice straw, [311] bagasse, green hay, peanut, pine, [312] cotton straw [313] and popular sawdust. [314] Though this process is advantageous in terms of effective removal of lignin at room temperature and pressure conditions without affecting cellulose, quantitative use of ozone makes the process expensive.…”

“…Esse fator, além de dificultar sua utilização como fonte energética para ruminantes, limita sua decomposição no meio ambiente, gerando problemas ambientais e econômicos para a indústria têxtil. Alguns autores referiram-se ao resíduo do beneficiamento têxtil do algodão como um "alimento em potencial" para ruminantes (BEN-GHEDALIA et al, 1983;BANYS et al, 1998;ALMEIDA, 2001). Banys et al (1998), estudando a composição química e a degradabilidade de resíduos da indústria têxtil do algodão (cottonea, batedor, batedor 2, borra, sillow e lixadeira), concluíram que esses possuem baixos valores de proteína bruta e altos de fibra, apresentando alto potencial de degradabilidade, devido à fração "b", mas, baixa degradabilidade efetiva.…”

“…One possible explanation could be that organic acids present in OCS hydrolyzed labile structural monosaccharide residues from the cell walls (Table I), as suggested by Ben-Ghedalia and Yosef (1989b). We have conducted several digestibility and feeding experiments with OCS (Ben-Ghedalia et al, 1983;Solomon et al, unpublished results) with positive nutritional results and no toxic effects. Progress in ozonation technology will facilitate the application of OCS as an ensiling agent.…”
