Nutrient utilization and rumen fermentation pattern in crossbred cattle fed different planes of nutrition supplemented with urea molasses mineral block

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the possible applications of molasses for animal nutrition, to improve hay and silage quality for beef and dairy cattle, to enhance industrial byproduct values using liquid feed in swine production, and to improve extensive livestock production with feed blocks.

TL;DR: It can be preliminary concluded that UMMB supplementation was the most economic way to alleviate body weight loss of grazing yaks over cold season, and the higher productive returns were obtained from OH supplementation for grazing yak cows during winter/spring months.

TL;DR: This article evaluated sources of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) in cooked molasses blocks supplemented to cattle fed prairie hay ad libitum for ruminal fermentation and found that intakes of forage OM, NDF and CP tended to increase.

TL;DR: Benefits of supplementation with cooked molasses blocks increased forage intake and digestion, although steers fed BEET had slightly greater OM and NDF digestibilities than those fed CANE or CSB.

TL;DR: In addition to NDF, new improved methods for total dietary fiber and nonstarch polysaccharides including pectin and beta-glucans now are available and are also of interest in rumen fermentation.

TL;DR: In this article, Microdiffusion analysis and volumetric error was used to detect micro-diffusion errors in the context of micro-scale analysis of the volumetry data.
