| 1 | Preference, Feeding Behavior, and in Vitro Fermentation Characteristics of Pelleted Feeds Containing Alkaline Aqueous Lignin By-Product from Paper Processing in Holstein Heifers显示文摘The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of using multiple dietary inclusion rates of alkaline aqueous lignin by-product(AALB),in replacing a commercial binder,on the preference and feeding behavior of dairy heifers,and in vitro digestibility.In the experiment I,five pelleted diets including negative control(no-binder),commercial lignosulfonate binder,and 1.6%,3.2%,and 4.8%of AALB were tested.In the experiment II,five pelleted diets including negative control,positive control(2%molasses),and 1%,2.4%,and 3.8%of AALB(all combined with 2%of molasses)were tested.Feeding behavior and preference were determined for 60 min per animal per evaluation.In vitro digestibility was determined for each pelleted diet for 48 h over five incubation runs.Results from Experiment I showed animals receiving 1.6%of AALB diet showed the greatest preference(dry matter(DM),intake)and a greater number of approaches with eating than other diets.The preference was lower when animals received control or 4.8%AALB diets relative to other diets.Results from Experiment II revealed animals receiving 3.8%AALB combined with molasses showed the greatest DM intake preference over 60 min,and DM intake per approach.Diets that included 2.4%and 3.8%of AALB combined with molasses presented the greatest in vitro DM digestibility.Overall,heifers showed a greater intake when receiving pelleted diets with 1.6%AALB.Furthermore,preference,intake over 60 min,and in vitro DM digestibility,were greater in the pelleted diets that contained higher rates of AALB when combined with molasses. | Bruna C.Agustinho Hsin-Tai Hong Kathryne Blair Chia-Yu Tsai Hao-Che Hung Anne H.Laarman Pedram Rezamand | 2022 | Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology(A)2022，12，2： | 0 |
