Effect of biological treatments on some agricultural by-products and small ruminant production
Abstract: This study was carried out at (El-Serw Research Station, Domyat Governorate) to study the effect of biological treatments (ZAD, fungus and ZAD with fungus) of rice straw on feed intake, digestibility coefficients, nutritive value, nitrogen balance and some rumen liquor and blood parameters.
Four treatments were tested, the first treatment (T1) was the control (rice straw untreated), second treatment (T2) was rice straw treated with ZAD ad. Libitum. Third treatment (T3) was rice straw treated with fungus (Pleurotus osteratus) and fourth treatment (T4) was rice straw treated with ZAD and fungus. T2, T3 and T4 increased (P<0.05) crude protein of rice straw and decreased (P<0.05) dry matter, crude fiber, NFE, NDF, ADF, ADL and cellulose contents than the control group.
Dry matter intake (DMI) increased (P<0.05) in the groups fed rice straw treated with ZAD, fungus and ZAD+ fungus than the control group. ZAD, fungus and ZAD + fungus treatments increased (P<0.05) digestibility coefficients of CF, ADF, NDF, ADL, cellulose and hemicellulose than the untreated rice straw.
Total digestible nutrients (TDN) and digestibility of crude protein (DCP) for T2, T3 and T4 were higher (P<0.05) than untreated rice straw. All of treated rice straw groups had no significant differences (P<0.05) urea, total protein, albumin, globulin, GOT and GPT, than untreated rice straw.
Twenty four Ossimi rams weighed 20.0% 0.3 kg were used in feeding trial lasted 120 days to evaluate the effect of biological treatments on the nutritive value of rice straw. Animals were divided into four groups.
Key word: Rice straw, fungus, biological treatments, feeding value, sheep.
