“…The hematological values obtained in the current study were within the expected ranges (Beigh et al, 2018) 2017) also observed reduced TP with partial substitution of clover hay by acacia sp. The current study shows no signi cant effect of diet on TP across all the dietary treatments, however, numerically lambs fed on a diet containing Acacia leaves (AMSAL) had higher serum TP and more comparable to control diet-fed lambs, this could be enhanced by the interaction of Acacia leaves and ammoniated stover as observed in as study by Sallam et al (2017).…”

The study evaluated the effect of Acacia erioloba leaf meal in diets containing ammoniated maize stove on growth performance, methane emission and heath of growing lambs. Thirty-two female lambs were allocated to the following four dietary treatments: total mixed ration (TMR, control), 20% inclusion of untreated maize stover (UMS), 20% inclusion of ammoniated maize stover (AMS), and combined inclusion of 10% ammoniated maize stover and 10% Acacia erioloba leaves (AMSAL). Each treatment was replicated 8 times and a lamb in an individual pen was regarded as an experimental unit in a completely randomized design. Feed intake was higher (P < 0.05) in lambs fed the AMS and AMSAL diets compared to those fed UMS. Final body weights were higher in lambs fed the AMS and AMSAL diets. Both ADG and FCR were not affected (P > 0.05) by diet. In comparison with the AMS and AMSAL diets, the lambs fed the UMS diet had the highest (P < 0.05) Methane emission. Overall, lambs fed the control diets had the lowest methane gas emission. Hematological values were affected by diet with the AMSAL fed lambs having the highest (P < 0.05) MPV and PCT values. Furthermore, total albumin, amylase and total bilirubin were highest (P < 0.05) in lambs fed on the AMSAL diet. Lambs fed on AMS diet had the highest (P < 0.05) serum urea levels. It can be concluded that combined inclusion of ammoniated maize stover and Acacia leaves improved feed value and lamb performance when compared to the individual inclusion of both UMS and AMS.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of 10 weeks supplementation of Quebracho tannins (QT; 0 [control], 100 [QT 100 ] or 200 g/[cow·d] [QT 200 ]) to 30 multiparous postpartum buffalo cows (10 cows per group) on milk yield and composition, blood metabolites and reproductive performance. Supplementation of QT 100 had no significant effect on milk yield, whereas QT 200 decreased ( P < 0.05) this trait. Compared with the control group, both QT levels decreased ( P < 0.05) fat-corrected milk (FCM) yield, but no significant effects were found on percentages of milk fat and protein. Contrariwise, yields of milk fat, lactose and milk protein were decreased ( P < 0.05) when QT 200 was supplemented. The solids nonfat (SNF) percentage and yield were decreased ( P < 0.05) with QT 100 supplementation. Moreover, QT tended to numerically reduce total number of ovarian follicles, number of small follicles, peripheral progesterone concentration and conception rate. Supplementation of QT 200 numerically increased number of large follicles, mean diameter of large follicle, number and diameters of corpora lutea. The inclusion of QT 200 shortened days open (DO) and decreased number of services per conception. Contrariwise, QT did not show significant effects on serum total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides concentrations. Supplementation of QT 100 caused an increase ( P < 0.05) of serum urea compared with that in control and QT200 groups. Generally, QT decreased ( P < 0.05) serum creatinine concentration. Therefore, the supplementation of a commercial QT to early lactating Egyptian buffalo cows displayed negative consequences on their productive and reproductive performances.
