  • Use of an in vitro gas Production Procedure to evaluate rumen slow-release urea products
    Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Mauro Spanghero, Anna Nikulina, Federico Mason
    Abstract:

    Abstract The bulk of the gas produced in the in vitro rumen gas Production technique originates from bicarbonate buffer, which reacts with volatile fatty acids (VFA) to release CO2. Ammonia, which is produced from fermentation of nitrogenous substrates, neutralizes the VFA and prevents them from reacting with the buffer. We hypothesized that the in vitro gas test could be a suitable method to differentiate slow-release urea (SRU) products basing on the intensity of ammonia release and consequent reduction in gas produced. The study was composed by two in vitro gas experiments (i.e., Expt.’s 1 and 2), which were conducted using graduated 100 ml syringes with gas measurements at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24 h of incubation (in Expt. 2, also at 0.5 and 18 h). In Expt. 1, 500 mg of corn (Zea mays subsp. mays) meal (CM), alone or added with four progressively higher urea doses (i.e., 25, 50, 75, 100 mg) were examined to evaluate the patterns of gas reduction and modifications of the fermentation process with urea addition. Increasing urea doses caused a consistent depression in gas produced at each measurement point (P

  • Evaluation of the extent of associative effects of two groups of four feeds using an in vitro gas Production Procedure.
    Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2008
    Co-Authors: P.h. Robinson, G. Getachew, John W. Cone
    Abstract:

    A ration formulated for ruminants is often a mixture of individual feeds, and its energetic value is generally calculated by summing the energy value of the individual feeds in it, on the assumption that the energy value of individual feeds will be the same when they are fed in combination with other feeds. In vitro gas Production techniques were used to determine whether associative effects of feeds occur. Two sets of four feeds from California (alfalfa hay, AH; barley grain, BG; corn silage, CS1, soybean meal, SM) and four feeds from The Netherlands (grass silage, GS; corn silage, CS2; citrus pulp, CiP; corn gluten meal, CG) were incubated alone, and in various combinations, in buffered rumen fluid using in vitro gas techniques. Gas Production (ml/g DM) at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 24, 30, 48 and 72 h of incubation was measured from all feed combinations. The percent increase in gas Production measured on combinations of feeds, versus the gas calculated to have been produced based upon incubation of the individual feeds, was used to determine the extent of the associative effects. One-way associative effects (i.e., substitution of CS1 or CS2 by AH, BG or SM) generally occurred (P
