“…This decline in CF content may be due to the effect of cellulase enzymes in ZADO treatment or the effect of yeast and also, urea addition. These results were agreed with Abo Bakr (2012) and Kewan et. al.…”

“…Fortunately, it can be say that feeding sheep on trimming waste could be save water under the same condition of present experiment. The present results are disagreement of that reported by Kewan et al (2019) who found that, biological treatment (fungi or yeast) for Moringa oleifera tree stalks caused the increase of free water intake. These might be owing to the type of roughage used.…”

“…On the other hand, both of YTW and ZTW groups showed comparable DCPI values and at the time they were higher (P< 0.05) than the other two groups (UTW and BH). These finding may be due to the highest CP content resulted from liquid feed included urea and consequently increased CP digestibility, and more than that the highly 1167 nitrogenous yeast cells in YTW diet (Kewan et al 2019) and the positive effect of ZADO in ZTW diet which led to better palatability and utilization by the host animal (Gado et al 2006) and Abo Bakr (2012). Comparing with BH diet, both of YTW and ZTW diets were consumed less as DM but at the same time covered energy and protein required for maintenance, these emphasize that the supplemented diets were more bulk density and highly nutritive value.…”

much more (P<0.05) water than the other three groups. Meanwhile, animals fed ZTW ration showed the highest (Ρ<0.05) value of insensible water loss. The rumen fermentation indicators (pH, NH 3-N and TVFA's) were also investigated. Serum total proteins and Albumins exhibited almost similar values for the experimental groups. Animals fed treated trimming waste (YTW and ZTW) expressed higher values of Kidney function indicators (creatinine, urea, and uric acid) as compared with the other two groups (UTW and BH). The experimental diets has no effect (P<0.01) on blood concentration of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and liver enzymes (aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, gama glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase. Values of RBC's and Hb were similar in both YTW and ZTW groups compared to UTW. The values of serum immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) in rams were higher (P<0.05) in those fed trimming waste than that fed BH. So, it can be concluded that using biologically treated trimming waste of mandarin trees could cover the nutrients required for maintenance of sheep under the desert conditions and enhanced animal immune status as well as reduction of feed cost and preventing environmental pollution.

“…These results were agreed with those obtained by Abo Bakr (2012) who found that goats fed biologically treated straw showed better feed efficiency than control group. Moreover, Kewan et al (2019) suggested that treated Moringa oleifera tree stalks by different type of probiotic (fungi or yeast) had better economical feed efficiency compared to the control group. Also, G2 was better for Kg DMI / Kg weaned live body weight followed by G3while the worst recorded by G1 (control group).…”

Present study aimed to evaluate the impacts of probiotic mixtures as a biological feed additive on the reproductive and productive performance of Barki ewes under desert conditions. A total number of 100 Barki ewes were randomly assigned and divided into five equal groups (20 each) to evaluate the effect of different levels and forms of biological additives mixtures on Barki ewes productivity. The first mixture of probiotic added as liquid forms (Mixture Probiotic Liquid, MPL), while the second added as powder forms (Mixture Probiotic Powder, MPP). The two forms of enzymes used at two levels (6 and 10ml or g/h/d). The two additives formed of exogenous enzymes and obtained through an anaerobic fermentation process of Ruminococcus flavefaciens. The results indicated that feed intake was higher in MPL and MPP treated groups compared to control group. During pregnancy and lactation stages, MPL and MPP groups recorded significantly increase in ewes body weight. The conception and lambing rates were tended to differ between groups, but the number of lambs born alive was significantly higher in MPP groups [19 lambs for group 2 (G2) and 18 lambs for group 3 (G3)] followed by MPL groups (16 and 18 lambs for group 4 (G4) and group 5 (G5), respectively), while the control group recorded 18 lambs. The mortality rate from birth to weaning decreased (P<0.05) in treated groups with 5%, 5%, 0% and 5% for G2, G3, G4 and G5, respectively, while the mortality rate increased (P<0.05) by 11% in control group. The milk yield tended to increase in MPP then MPL groups. The birth and weaning weights as well as average daily gain increased (P<0.05) in MPL and MPP groups. Thyroid hormones T 3 and T 4 concentrations increased (P<0.05) with enzymes mixtures supplementations. In conclusion, under the semi-arid conditions, supplementation of exogenous enzyme preparations of MPL and MPP to sheep rations, may improve weaning weight and daily gain of lambs as much as live body weight and milk production of ewes.

Silvopasture: a sustainable livestock production system

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Silvopasture, as an integrated land use practice that combines trees, forage and livestock, has been in existence for millennia. There are many variants of this land use in both the temperate and tropical regions of the world practiced at small and large scales. Modern silvopasture; however, is not just a new name for an old practice. It is rooted in sound ecological principles and demands skills in managing complexity. Scientific evidence of the ecological and economic benefits of silvopasture has been accumulating rapidly over the last few years and hence the objective of this thematic issue was to bring together a collection of original research and review articles that dealt with these different dimensions. There are 28 articles included in this thematic issue categorized into four groups based on their primary focus, (1) forage production and quality (2) livestock performance (3) environmental benefits, and (4) challenges in designing and developing silvopasture. The information presented has deepened our understanding of some of the biophysical and socioeconomic dimensions of silvopastoral systems; however, it also has revealed some of the research gaps. Addressing these research gaps will help improve not only the economic and environmental sustainability of these systems, but their social acceptability as well.
