Abstract

This study determined the effects of different flushing frequency on performance and blood metabolite profile of ewes and their suckling lambs at pre-weaning period. Twelve multiparous Garut ewes (2 years-old, BW 30.06 ± 6.20 kg) and 18 lambs born to experimental ewes (lambing weight 2.49 ± 0.56 kg) were used in this study. Ewes were randomly assigned into four treatment groups in a complete block design, namely: without flushing (T0: control), flushing at the beginning of mating (T1: 2 weeks before and after mating), two times flushing (T2: T1 + 4 weeks flushing at mid-gestation), and three times flushing (T3: T2 + 2 weeks flushing at before and after parturition). Three times flushing increased ((p<0.05) the crude fat intake, while different flushing frequencies did not affect (p>0.05) dry matter intake and intakes of crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract, and total digestible nutrients of ewes at the pre-weaning period. Different flushing frequencies did not change (p>0.05) the productive performances of ewes during the pre-weaning period. Flushing application improved (p<0.05) the average daily gain of pre-weaning lambs at 14 days, but it did not affect the weaning weight of lambs. Two times flushing showed no pre-weaning mortality rate (p<0.05). Flushing application tended to decrease (p=0.08) blood plasma triglyceride of ewes at 21- days, while two times flushing frequency tended to increase blood plasma cholesterol (p=0.05) and triglyceride (p=0.08) of lambs at 21 days. In conclusion, increased flushing frequency supports ewes and their twin lamb growth performance and blood metabolite profile at the pre-weaning period

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate effects of Molasses replacement with Vinasse-molasses in ration on the blood metabolite profiles and mRNA expression of Growth Hormone 1 (GH1) of finishing Peranakan Ongole (PO) Cattle.Methods: Ten male PO cattle in averaged 209 ± 21 kg of body weight were equally allocated to receive either molasses or Vinasse-molasses dietary treatments. The concentrate diet was contained of either 15% of molasses (control) or Vinasse-molasses. This study observed the nutrient intake, percentage of weight gain, blood metabolite profiles and GH1 mRNA expression of PO cattle.Results: The result showed that replacing molasses with vinasse-molasses reduced (P<0.05) dry matter intake (DMI) and intakes of crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), and total digestible nutrient (TDN). Nevertheless, Vinasse-molasses inclusion did not change (P>0.05) percentage of weight gain. Vinasse-molasses increased (P<0.05) the blood urea nitrogen level, while it did not affect (P>0.05) the GH1 mRNA levels.Conclusions: It can be concluded that replacing molasses with vinasse-molasses does not change blood metabolite profile, GH1 mRNA expression and performance of PO cattle.  Vinasse-molasses could be applied as energy sources ingredient to replace molasses in finishing cattle feed.

Abstract

In this study, the effects of different levels of organic and potassium chloride fertilizers on the growth, production, and nutrient content of Pakchong grass were evaluated. The experiment used a 6 × 4 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design with 25 replications. Each polybag was filled with 5 kg of latosol soil. Organic fertilizer was applied at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, and 12.5 t ha?¹, while Potassium fertilizer was applied at 0, 150, 200, and 250 kg ha?¹. No significant interaction (P>0.05) between organic fertilizer and KCl was observed for growth and production parameters at 8 weeks after planting, although each factor significantly affected several individual parameters. Organic fertilizer significantly affected stem diameter, number of leaves, fresh biomass, and dry biomass, with the best overall response occurring at 12.5 t ha?¹ level. Potassium fertilizer at 250 kg ha?¹ significantly increased the plant height, stem diameter, number of tillers, number of leaves, fresh biomass, and dry biomass. No significant interaction (P>0.05) was detected for dry matter, ash, crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, acid detergent fibre, or neutral detergent fibre. In conclusion, organic fertilizer improved leaf number and biomass production, with responses beginning at 2.5 t ha?¹ for leaf number and 7.5 t ha?¹ for biomass production. Potassium chloride fertilizer at 250 kg ha?¹ improved vegetative growth and dry biomass. However, their combination did not improve the nutrient content or the leaf-to-stem ratio.
