“…These findings are supported by Balgees et al [31], who discovered that the digestibility of DM, CP, and OM was considerably higher (P<0.05) for rations supplemented with 10 or 15% FRS than both the animals fed on only 5% and the control diet that was devoid of the supplement. Additionally, the current findings are consistent with those made by Abo El-Nor et al [32], who discovered that the digestibility coefficients of lactating buffaloes feed containing various amounts of FRS had improved.…”

T WENTY Friesian heifers with average live body weight of 216 kg and aged 12 months were divided into four similar groups according to their live body weight and age. All heifers were fed the basal ration. Control group was received basal ration without any supplementation (R1), while, groups 2, 3 and 4 were fed the basal ration and supplemented with 50 g fenugreek seeds (FRS)/head/day used as dry (R2), soaked (R3) or germination (R4), respectively. Results showed that R4 significantly higher in all nutrients digestibility and feeding values followed by R3 then R2, whereas R1 had lowest values. The FRS supplements led to increase concentrations of blood globulin, urea and ALT whereas decreased concentration of cholesterol in R4 than in R1. The FRS supplement in R4 led to significant increase in ammonia-N, TVFA's and pH value, but R1 had lowest values. Growth performance in R3 showed significantly the highest final live body weight, average daily gain and the least amounts of DM, TDN and DCP required per kg live body weight gain followed by R4 then R2, whereas R1 had the poorest values. Feed cost per kg gain was decreased significantly with FRS additives compared with control R1. The price of weight gain, net revenue and economic efficiency were increased significantly with FRS than in control, which tested ration R3 had the higher values. Ration R4 showed significantly the shorter ages at first service and conceive service and parturition followed by R3 and R2, whereas R1 had the poorest ones.

“…Additionally, Ismail [42] discovered that increasing the amount of FRS caused DM intake to steadily rise. More recently, Balgees et al [31,43] discovered that increasing the dose of FRS supplementation (5, 10 and 15%) raised dry matter intake by around 49.57, 55.65, and 58.56%, Egypt. J. Vet.…”

“…Improving the nutritive value of low‐quality feedstuffs could happen by chemical, physical, and biological methods (Lunsin et al, 2018; Zilio et al, 2019), resulting in increasing the efficiency of feed utilization and production performance of ruminants. Chemical methods such as urea treatment of sugarcane bagasse could increase its nutritive value and in vitro digestibility (Ahmed et al, 2013; Balgees et al, 2007; Lunsin et al, 2018). Furthermore, biological methods related to the use of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes hold promise as a means of increasing forage utilization and improving the productive efficiency of ruminants (Beauchemin et al, 2003).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different levels of fibrolytic enzyme on nutrient utilization and milk production in dairy cows. Four multiparous early-to-mid-lactation Holstein-Friesian crossbred cows were randomly allocated in a 4 Â 4 Latin square design. Cows were fed a balanced total mixed ration (TMR) on a dry matter (DM) basis containing 0, 1.2, 2.4, and 3.6 g/kg DM of fibrolytic enzyme in TMR, where the TMR comprises 60% concentrate supplemented with a fibrolytic enzyme at 0, 2, 4, and 6 g/kg DM of concentrate, and 40% urea-molasses-treated sugarcane bagasse (UMSB) was used as a roughage source. Fibrolytic enzyme supplementation in TMR containing UMSB did not affect dry matter intake (DMI) of dairy cows (p > 0.05). There was a quadratic effect of fibrolytic enzyme levels on the digestibility of DM, organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) (p < 0.05), and the maximal response was reached at 1.2-2.4 g/kg DM of fibrolytic enzyme added in the TMR. Furthermore, 3.5% fatcorrected milk, milk fat, total volatile fatty acids, and propionic acid were greater in a cow fed with 1.2-2.4 g/kg DM of fibrolytic enzyme, resulting in a lower ratio of acetic acid to propionic acid (p < 0.05). In conclusion, adding a fibrolytic enzyme in TMR containing UMSB improved nutrient utilization, rumen fermentation, and milk production of lactating dairy cows.
