Optimising nitrogen use in dairy farming: Evaluation of ruminal crude protein degradation and protein value of forages
(2012-01-16)
A major goal of modern dairy farming is to decrease nitrogen inputs and increase efficiency of nitrogen utilisation by the dairy cow in order to minimise environmental pollution and save on expensive nitrogen supplements. ...
The aerobic deterioration of silages as estimated from chemical composition and dietary choice by goats
(2013-06-06)
Conserved forage as silage provides an important source of energy and nutrients for livestock in many countries of the world. After opening the silo for the feed-out phase or due to damages of the covering, oxygen ingresses ...
Effects of folic acid and pantothenic acid supplementation to two rations on rumen fermentation, duodenal nutrient flow and serum and milk variables of dairy cows
(2010-04-08)
The aim of the present experiments was to investigate the influences of a daily supplementation of 1 g folic acid (FA), respectively pantothenic acid (PA) on ruminal fermentation, as well as on serum and milk variables. ...
Untersuchungen zur mRNA-Expression von Adiponectin und anderen Adipokinen, ihren Rezeptoren sowie von fettsäurebindenden Rezeptoren im Fettgewebe von Wiederkäuern
(2010-01-04)
Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Untersuchung der mRNA-Expression verschiedener Adipokine, die im Zusammenhang mit dem Energiehaushalt, dem Fettstoffwechsel und der Glukosehomöostase stehen, deren Rezeptoren sowie ausgewählter ...
Silage maize variety and heat stress: effects on nutritive value of maize silage and on digestion events and performance of ruminants
(2015-05-05)
The present thesis addresses two topics; brown-midrib (Bm) silage maize and heat stress in ruminants. The first part of this thesis focused on an experimental Bm silage maize hybrid with regard to dry matter (DM) intake ...
Nutrition of giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) in captivity: Evaluation of feeding practice and analysis of rations in European zoos
(2016-06-28)
Compared to other zoo herbivores, the nutrition of captive giraffes is particularly challenging. They belong to the group of browsing ruminants and developed adaptations which enable optimal ingestion, comminution and ...
Lucerne silage for high yielding dairy cows: evaluation of the nutritional value using chemical and in vivo methods
(2018-02-07)
Lucerne has a high yield potential and can provide ruminants with significant amounts of energy and protein as well as having excellent structural properties. This thesis focussed on the response (dry matter intake (DMI), ......
