“…He also pointed non-significant differences between treatments in plasma AST and ALT for lambs fed biologically treated rice straw compared with control ration. Kholif et al (2005) and Allam et al (2006) reported that biological treatments increased serum total protein, urea, glucose and aspartate aminotransferase. They added that the biological treatment had no effect on the serum globulin.…”

Twenty seven Barki lambs, seven months old, with live body weight of 33.33±2.21kg were used to investigate the effects of partial replacement of berseem hay by fungal treated rice straw on growth performance, digestibility, rumen fermentation, some blood biochemical and immune status of Barki sheep. The animals were divided into three comparable groups. Three rations were prepared with the same roughage: concentrate ratio of 40:60% and iso-nitrogenous; C -Control (60% CFM + 40% berseem hay), TV-60%CFM + 40% Roughage (70% berseem hay + 30% rice straw treated with Trichoderma viride), AS -60%CFM + 40% Roughage (70% berseem hay + 30% rice straw treated with Aspergillus fumigatus). Lambs body weight was recorded at the start of the experiment and thereafter regularly at 14 days interval. After completion of the feeding trial (12 weeks), four animals per treatment were used in a metabolism trial. Obtained results showed that treated rice straw showed significant (P< 0.05) improvement in OM, CP, CF and NFE, while DM, EE and Ash did not differ significantly. The body weight non-significantly increased here-after up to week six; then increases started to reach the significant level. The final body weight was 43.45, 45.5 and 45.35kg for C, TV and AS groups respectively; total gain was 10.18, 12.07 and 12.14kg for the respective groups. Average daily gain was 121, 143.67 and 144.44g/d., CP, CF, NFE and EE digestibility were significantly (P< 0.05) increase in treated groups, while DM digestibility did not differ significantly by treatments. The content of NDF significantly (P < 0.05) declined with treated rice straw via either TV or AF by 10.37% and 7.21% respectively compared with URS. The same trend shows with Acid detergent fiber (ADF) which was 56.22% for the untreated rice straw than treated rice straw with either TV (50.17%) or AF (51.64%). All treatments had similar nutritive values, being 63.00, 63.83 and 63.08% for TDN and 10.11, 10.57and 10.39% for DCP, respectively. Values of NB were 4.03, 4.98 and 5.03g/d for the three experimental groups, respectively. The biological value of the dietary protein was higher for groups AF (35.66%) and TV (35.48%) and lowest for control group (30.00%). Treating rice straw with either TV or AF fungus did not affect the rumen pH values at any time of feeding. At three hours from feeding VFA production increased from 10.12 in C diet to 12.98 for TV and 12.35meq/dl for AF. Rumen NH3 concentration increased from 16.25 in C diet to 18.65 for TV and 18.39mg/dl for AF at three hours from feeding, similar trend was found at six hour post feeding. Generally, all values were within the normal values of blood characteristics of sheep. Serum total protein, albumin and glucose were significant (P< 0.05) increase in treated groups than control group, while treatments had no significant effect on globulin, urea, creatinine, AST and ALT. Immunological parameters (IgA, IgG and interleukin 2) were within normal ranges and did not differ significantly.

“…Most research reports indicate that feeding ruminants with biologically treated roughage increases feed intake, improves digestibility, and increases feed conversion efficiency (FCE) compared to untreated (Abdel‐Azim et al, 2011; Belewu et al, 2003; El‐Bordeny et al, 2015; Fouda, 2008). Moreover, growing animals fed on biologically treated roughages showed better daily gain (Allam et al, 2006), FCE, and pre‐slaughter live weight (El‐Marakby, 2003) compared to animals fed untreated roughages. In El‐Banna, El‐Manylam, et al (2010), higher average daily gain (ADG) (19.72 vs. 21.5 g/day), pre‐slaughter weight (SW) (1885 vs. 1968 g), dressing percentage (DP) (59.9% vs. 61.6%), and lower FCE (4.56 vs. 4) were reported for rabbits fed on potato vines that were treated with L. acidophilus compared to rabbits fed untreated.…”

The productivity of small ruminants in Ethiopia is low due to a shortage of feed supply throughout the year, both in terms of quality and quantity. This problem leads to the utilization of locally available lignocellulose by‐products, which encompass high cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. It is known that the nutritive value of these lignocellulose by‐products can be improved through biological, chemical, or a combination of both treatments This study was aimed at evaluating body weight change, carcass characteristics, and economic efficiency of rams fed a total mixed diet containing biologically treated rice husk (RH) or sugarcane bagasse (SCB). Thirty‐six sheep, weighing an average initial body weight of 18 ± 1.8 kg were used. Two feeds (SCB and RH) and three biological treatments (Control, Trichoderma viride [Tv], and effective microbes [EM]) were used with a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in 2 × 3 factorial arrangements. Ram fed on RH containing diets had higher dry matter intake (DMI) (g/h/day), DMI (% of BW), DMI (g/kg BW0.75), average daily gain (ADG) (106 vs. 53 g/day), and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) (0.107 vs. 0.076) than SCB containing diets. Ram fed diets containing biologically treated roughages had significantly higher (p < .05) DMI (g/h/day), DMI (% of BW), DMI (g/kg BW0.75), ADG, and FCE. However, no significant differences were observed between sheep fed diets containing EM and Tv in DMI (g/h/day), DMI (% of BW), DMI (g/kg BW0.75), ADG, and FCE. This study also revealed that significantly (p < .05) higher carcass weight, dressing percentage (DP), rib eye muscle area, total non‐carcass fat, and total edible offal components had been recorded for rams fed diets containing RH as roughage source related to rams fed diets containing SCB. While other parameters were unaffected by treatments, sheep fed diets containing biologically treated feed had a higher hot carcass weight plus DP. However, no significant (p > .05) difference was found between diets based on biologically treated roughage. Profitability analysis indicated that sheep fattening on a diet containing RH and by‐products treated with Tv and EM showed greater profitability than untreated SCB. The authors had concluded that fattening sheep on diets containing RH results in higher feed intake, better body weight gain, more carcasses and higher profits, but optimum inclusion levels need further research, for either treated or untreated SCB.
