“…The response to protein supplementation on forage DM intake might depend on forage conservation. Seoane et al (1993) observed that protein supplementation increased intake of forage when it was fed as hay while there was no effect when it was fed as silage. It has been suggested that silage intake is not improved by protein supplementation unless a parallel increase in digestibility is observed (Steen 1988).…”

“…Forages constitute a natural and plentiful resource in Quebec, thus their utilization for lamb production is being encouraged. Although most early-harvested forages meet the theoretical protein requirements of growing ruminants, protein supplementation usually enhances performance of growing beef cattle (Veira et al 1985;Seoane et al 1993), and this effect has not been necessarily related to higher DE intake (Seoane et al 1992). It remains to be clarified if the beneficial effect of protein supplementation depends on the ruminal degradability of the protein being fed.…”

“…Forage conservation may influence the response to protein supplementation. It has been shown that canola meal (high degradability) and fish meal (low degradability) similarly increased the ADG of growing steers fed hay; however, fish meal supplementation produced higher ADG than canola meal when silage was fed (Seoane et al 1993). Canola meal utilization represents an economic advantage for producers since actual market prices for fish meal are higher.…”

. 1998. Performance of lambs fed either hay or silage supplemented with canola or fish meals. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 78: 135-141. Forty-eight lambs (29.0 ± 4.7 kg BW) were used to study the effects of protein supplementation of forages on performance and diet digestibility. Lambs were fed grass hay or silage ad libitum plus a daily supplement of either: C, a control supplement supplying 1.2 g kg -1 BW of dry molasses and 0.6 g kg -1 BW of minerals, vitamins and lasalocid; CM, control supplement + 5.48 g kg -1 BW of canola meal; or FM, control supplement + 3 g kg -1 BW of fish meal. Apparent digestibility of all dietary components was higher in lambs fed silage than in those fed hay (P < 0.04). Addition of CM or FM improved apparent digestibility of energy and crude protein (CP) of lambs fed hay (P < 0.02) and CP digestibility of lambs fed silage (P < 0.01). Apparent digestibility of CP was higher in lambs fed FM than in those fed CM with either hay or silage (P < 0.03). Addition of CM or FM tended to decrease ADF digestibility of silage-based diets (P < 0.06). Apparent ADF digestibility of hay-based diets was lower in lambs fed CM than in those fed FM (P < 0.02). Forage DM intake was similar for all treatments. Addition of CM or FM to the diets improved average daily gains by 24% (P < 0.03), an effect that was higher with hay (35.1%, P < 0.02). Feed efficiency was 23.6% better in lambs fed protein-supplemented hay than in those receiving C (P < 0.04). Neither dressing percentage nor carcass lean yield was affected by protein supplementation. Digestible DM and TDN intakes were higher in lambs fed silage (P < 0.03) as a result of higher apparent digestibility for silage than hay. Furthermore, CM increased TDN intake by 7.6 and 8.2% in lambs fed hay and silage, respectively, compared with lambs fed FM. Addition of canola and fish meals improved forage nutritive value for lambs.Key words: Canola meal, fish meal, forages, digestibility, lambs, growth Agbossamey, Y. R., Petit, H. V., Seoane, J.

Les animaux ont été alimentés à volonté avec du foin ou de l'ensilage et ils ont reçu une quantité fixe de l'un des trois suppléments suivants: T, supplément témoin contenant 1,2 g kg -1 PV jour -1 de mélasse sèche et 0,6 g kg -1 PV jour -1 de minéraux, vitamines et Bovatec; TC, supplément témoin + 5,48 g kg -1 PV jour -1 de tourteau de canola; FP, supplément témoin + 3 g kg -1 PV jour -1 de farine de poisson. La digestibilité apparente de toutes les composantes de la ration a été plus élevée chez les agneaux recevant de l'ensilage que pour ceux recevant du foin (P < 0,04). L'addition des suppléments protéiques a amélioré la d...

“…Nevertheless, results depend upon the nature of nitrogen in the concentrate as there are different mechanisms involved in the microbial and animal response to supplementation (Seoane et al, 1993). Nitrogen supplementation is generally based on soybean meal (SBM) which is costly.…”

The effects of nature of nitrogen supplementation on silage DM intake (SDMI), total DM intake (TDMI), rumen parameters and ruminal degradation of DM of silage and wheat straw were studied using four adult Noire de Thibar rams. Silage was made from predominantly oats harvested at milk stage and ensiled without preservative. The silage was offered ad libitum as the sole diet (OS) or supplemented with 450 g DM of iso-nitrogen (25.6 g/kg DM) and iso-energy (0.8 Unité Fourragère Lait: UFL/kg DM) concentrate containing soybean meal (SBM), urea (UR) or poultry litter (PL) as nitrogen supplements. SDMI (g/kg W 0·75 × day) and TDMI (g/kg W 0 · 75 × day) were affected (P < 0.001) by the type of supplement and averaged 63.9, 60.1, 54.9, 51.1 and 63.9, 81.4, 74.8, 72.2 for OS, SBM, PL and UR diets, respectively. In comparison with other diets, SBM diet systematically decreased (P < 0.05) the pH of the rumen after the morning feeding and reduced the rumen concentration of total VFA at 1 h after feeding. SBM diet decreased DM disappearance of the oat silage incubated in nylon bags for 72 h (P < 0.05), but not of wheat straw. The three supplements increased the ammonia-N concentrations in the rumen for several hours after feeding in comparison with the OS diet. However, only the SBM diet kept this difference just before the next meal. It is concluded that despite its low nutritive value (0.62 UFL and 108 g crude protein/kg DM), the oat silage is well consumed by the local ruminants accustomed to use poor forages for a long time. In Tunisia, poultry litter may be used as a nitrogen source to supplement the oat silage for sheep.

“…In review of literature, also agree the result that DMI increase with supplying the higher (10%) amount of FM. Another scientist (Petit and Flipot., 1992;Seoane et al, 1993;and Veira et al, 1994) agree that FM supplementation increased DMI in cattle fed silage diets. …”

The experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University Dairy Farm to study the effect of fish meal (FM) on growth and reproductive performances of crossbred heifers. The experiment was designed into four treatment (T 0 =0% FM; T 1 =5% FM; T 2 =7.5% FM and T 3 =10% FM) groups having initial weight 231. 33 ± 32.39, 241.00 ± 46.29, 198.66 ±58.53 and 236.66 ± 31.64 kg, respectively. The average age of the animal is 2 years 9 month.Results of the experiment revealed that there was a significant difference of FM on daily DMI (kg/d). In 90 days period, FM with rice straw based diet had significant effect on daily weight gain (kg/d) of crossbred heifers. DM, CP and CF digestibility (%) differ significantly (p<0.05) among the group. But, the EE, Ash and NFE do not differ significantly. However, there is a tendency to increase digestibility when increase the FM among the Treatment group. Among this group T 3 and T 1 treatment showed 100% and T 0 treatment 66% estrus and T 1 did not showed estrus. Based on above findings, it may be concluded that supplementation of FM with Rice straw based diet can be the best options for feeding crossbred heifers to obtain better performances in terms of dry matter intake, digestibility, daily weight gain and reproductive performance especially estrus.
