“…The goats were housed in tie stalls with free access to water. Three diets were formulated with 50:50 (DM) forage:concentrates ratio to meet their nutrient requirements when fed at 3% of BW (which was changed continuously based on changes in BW; Khattab et al, 2011 ). The Control diet consisted of Egyptian berseem clover ( Trifolium alexandrinum ) and concentrate mixture on a 1:1 DM basis.…”

The study evaluated replacement of Egyptian berseem clover (BC, Trifolium alexandrinum) with spent rice straw (SRS) of Pleurotus ostreatus basidiomycete in diets of lactating Baladi goats. Nine lactating homo-parity Baladi goats (average BW 23.8±0.4 kg) at 7 d postpartum were used in a triplicate 3×3 Latin square design with 30 d experimental periods. Goats were fed a basal diet containing 0 (Control), 0.25 (SRS25) and 0.45 (SRS45) (w/w, DM basis) of SRS. The Control diet was berseem clover and concentrate mixture (1:1 DM basis). The SRS45 had lowered total feed intake and forages intake compared to Control. The SRS25 and SRS45 rations had the highest digestibilities of DM (p = 0.0241) and hemicellulose (p = 0.0021) compared to Control which had higher (p<0.01) digestibilities of OM (p = 0.0002) and CP (p = 0.0005) than SRS25 and SRS45. Ruminal pH and microbial protein synthesis were higher (p<0.0001) for SRS25 and SRS45 than Control, which also had the highest (p<0.0001) concentration of TVFA, total proteins, non-protein N, and ammonia-N. All values of serum constituents were within normal ranges. The Control ration had higher serum globulin (p = 0.0148), creatinine (p = 0.0150), glucose (p = 0.0002) and cholesterol (p = 0.0016). Both Control and SRS25 groups had the highest (p<0.05) milk (p = 0.0330) and energy corrected milk (p = 0.0290) yields. Fat content was higher (p = 0.0373) with SRS45 and SRS25 groups compared with Control. Replacement of BC with SRS in goat rations increased milk levels of conjugated linoleic acid and unsaturated fatty acids compared with Control. It was concluded that replacing 50% of Egyptian berseem clover with SRS in goat rations improved their productive performance without marked effects on metabolic indicators health.

“…Improving the availability of the nutrients in the cell wall structure of fibrous feeds can be possible by using exogenous fibrolytic enzymes. These enzymes can be directly added to feeds before feeding or during ensiling (6). It was reported that fibrolytic enzymes have effects on the degradation of cereal straw cell wall and improvement of the nutritive value of cereal straws (7,8).…”

“…2015; Salem et al 2015; Valdes et al 2015). Furthermore, feeding dairy animals on diets supplemented with fibre-degrading enzymes has been shown to improve feed utilization and animal performance (Khattab et al 2011; Salem et al 2013). However, the mode of action of these enzymes has not been fully elucidated.…”

“…Hydrolysis of dietary fibre before ingestion (Khattab et al 2011), provision of readily fermentable substrates for ruminal micro-organisms (McAllister et al 2001) and synergistic enhancement of microbial enzyme activity in the rumen (Morgavi et al 2000) have been suggested as possible modes of action. In addition, alteration of ruminal fermentation (Salem et al 2015) and enhanced ruminal micro-organism attachment to and colonization of the plant cell wall (Wang et al 2001) are other possibilities.…”

SUMMARYTwenty four French Alpine goats (39 ± 2·0 kg) were individually housed in a completely randomized design and fed a basal diet containing 146 g crude protein and 356 g neutral detergent fibre (NDF)/kg in the absence (control – CTRL) or presence (CELL) of 2 ml of cellulase/kg dry matter intake (DMI) for 70 days, which included a 10-day adaptation period. The feed was offered three times daily at 07·00, 13·00 and 19·00 h, but the single daily dose of cellulase was only fed at 07·00 h. Goats were hand-milked daily; milk production recorded and samples taken for compositional analysis. During the last 5 days of the experimental period, goats from each group were individually housed in stainless steel metabolic cages to enable separate and total collection of faeces and urine for nutrient digestibility and ruminal fermentation determinations. Goats fed CELL had greater DMI and greater digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter and NDF than CTRL goats. CELL goats had greater ruminal pH, concentration of acetic acid and concentration of propionic acid than CTRL goats. However, the concentration of ruminal butyric was lower in CELL goats compared with CTRL goats. CELL goats had greater milk yield, energy corrected milk, milk energy content, milk energy output and milk density than CTRL goats and the milk content for total solids, fat, protein and lactose were also greater for CELL goats than for the CTRL goats. The milk of CELL goats had greater palmitoleic acid, cis-10-heptadecanoic acid content and mono-saturated acids than the milk of CTRL goats and lower linoleic acid, linolenic acid contents and saturated fatty acids than the milk of CTRL goats. These results suggest that addition of 2 ml cellulase/kg DM of feed in the diet of lactating French Alpine goats elevated their milk production and improved its composition probably due to improved feed utilization.
