“…The reduction in CF digestibility might also be explained by a decrease in ruminal cellulolytic activity as a result of alkali-ensiled peanut hulls with 5% lime + 5% urea (Klopfenstein et al, 1979), or inhibition of microbial activity by phenolic acids which released by alkali. The reduction in CF digestibility also might be related to the rate of passage of digesta through the reticulo-rumen which decreased by ensiling peanut hulls with 5% lime +5 %urea (Ali et al, 1977). The observed severe reduction in NFE digestibility could be explained by forming undigested sugar-ammonia compounds ( Maillard reaction).These results confirmed with the findings by Nishie et al (1969), Eskin et al (1971) and Lee et al (1975).…”

This study included two experiments, the first was carried out to study the effect of treating peanut hulls chemically by ensiling with 5% lime + 5% urea on its chemical composition and nutritive value by using adult crossbred (Romanov  Rahmani) rams. The second was carried out to study the effect of adding fresh sweet liquid cheese whey (FSLCW) or/and Poly-Ethylene Glycol (PEG) on the performance and feed efficiency of crossbred (Romanov  Rahmani) growing lambs fed total mixed rations (TMR) consisting of 40% roughag and 60% concentrate mixture for 70 days. Twenty male lambs with an average body weight 28.85kg and 6 months old were divided into four equal groups and randomly assigned to fed one of the following experimental rations : (T 1) control ration: contains wheat bran 15%, barely 29%, soyabean meal 8.5 %, clover hay (Trifolium alexandrinum) 40%, sugar cane-molasses 4%, lime stone 2% ,common salt 1% and vits. & mins. mixture 0.5 %. (T 2): T 1 with replacing all of the clover hay by treated peanut hulls. (T 3): T 2 plus FSLCW(free choice). (T 4): T 2 plus FSLCW(free choice) plus 3 g PEG / head / day. The ingested daily of the cheese whey expressed as TDN was replaced with a part of T 2 having the same value of TDN. The experimental animals were given their requirements of energy and protein to cover their average daily gain (NRC,1985). At the end of feeding trial four digestion , trials were conducted. Some rumen liquor and some blood parameters were also studded. The results of the first experiment showed that total phenols and total tannins nearly disappeared in treated peanut hulls.

Steers fitted with simple rumen and abomasal cannulas were given isoenergetic diets of approximately equal amounts of untreated (UT) barley straw and concentrates (flaked maize +tapioca) alone (BS) or with urea (BSU) or fishmeal (BSF). Similar diets were also given in which the barley straw had been treated (AT) with NaOH (BSA, BSAU and BSAF respectively). The diets were given in a 6 X 6 Latin square design. Feed components and abomasal digesta samples were analysed for neutral (NDF) and acid (ADF) detergent fibres and for monosaccharide constituents of structural polysaccharides. Hemicellulose contents were estimated as the sum of xylose + arabinose (X + A) and by the difference between ash-free NDF and ash-free ADF (NDF-ADF). Cellulose was estimated as @-linked glucose (C) and by the difference between ash-free ADF and lignin (ADF-L).lo3 Ruthenium and PEG were given as flow markers and flows (g24h-') at the abomasum of carbohydrate components estimated in these ways were calculated. Approximately 98% (by wt.) of the cellulose (C) found in original feed and digesta samples was recovered in both NDF and ADF. Recoveries of hemicellulose (X + A) in NDF from UT straw, AT straw and abomasal digesta were approximately 92, 48 and 50%, respectively. The ADF fraction of feeds and digesta contained 3-6 and 10-17% of the nitrogen and xylose, respectively, present in the original samples. Mouth to abomasum digestibilities of hemicellulose (NDF-ADF) for diets BS, BSU, BSF, BSA, BSAU and BSAF were 39, 62, 67, 29, 61 and 76%, respectively. Corresponding values for cellulose (ADF-L) were 37, 34, 50, 45, 48, and 63%, respectively. The use of NDF-ADF and ADF-L as measures of hemicellulose and cellulose contents, respectively, of feeds and digesta, and the digestibility of these carbohydrate fractions between mouth and abomasum of steers are discussed.
