A digestibility study with Silver foxes weighing 6.5 ± 0.1 kg was conducted to evaluate five fibers (hemicellulose (X), α-cellulose (C), pectin (P), oat bran (B) and oat hulls (H)) added at 5% to a meat-type diet (A). Apparent digestibility of dry matter in diet P (65.1%) was significantly poorer (P < 0.05) than all others except C (69.1%). Addition of all fibers reduced digestibility of acid detergent fiber. Diet P resulted in weight loss, increased water consumption, and faster rate of passage than diet A (P < 0.05). Key words: Digestibility, oat bran, rate of passage, hemicellulose, fiber, fox

Voluntary Food Intake

Although the amount of food given to dry sows in commercial situations is nutritionally adequate for maintenance and reproductive performance, it may not be adequate in other aspects. There is evidence that low levels of food intake increase the incidence of abnormal behaviours. It might be desirable to feed greater amounts, but without causing excessive nutrient intake and obesity of the sow which occur when feeding commercially used diets at high levels. One solution might be to provide bulky, low density diets. The objectives of this experiment were to obtain information on level and variation in voluntary food intake in dry sows on fibrous diets and on the relationship between chemical aspects of the diet, intake, and apparent digestibility.

1. The effects of the amount and the type of dietary fibre on the apparent digestibility (AD) by growing pigs of neutral-detergent fibre (NDF) and NDF components, on nitrogen balance and on the rate of passage of digesta were studied using a semi-purified basal diet and fibre in the forms of soya-bean hulls, lupin (Lupinus sp.) hulls, pea (Pisum sativum) hulls, wheat bran, maize hulls, maize cobs, oat hulls and lucerne (Medicago sativa) stems.2. Both the amount and the type of dietary fibre significantly influenced the AD of dietary dry matter, N and energy. The AD of NDF and of NDF components was markedly affected by the type and the amount of fibre in the diet. The proportion of NDF digested ranged from 0.016 to 0.905, of cellulose from 0.026 to 0.931 and of hemicellulose from 0.010 to 0.999.3. N retention by the pigs ranged from 12.9 to 25.8 g/d and with some fibres there was a tendency towards increased N retention with increasing intakes of NDF.4. Rate of passage of digesta, expressed as the 50 and 95% excretion times of stained feed particles, ranged from 22.2 to 85.1 h and 40.0 to 117.1 h respectively. Large individual variations in rate of passage occurred but, in general, the rate of passage tended to increase with increasing intakes of NDF. No strong associations between the rate of passage of digesta and apparent digestibility of NDF components were observed.5. The results suggest that the extent of fibre digestibility depends predominantly on the origin of the fibre and to a lesser extent on the amount of fibre in the diet.

Two replicated experiments, involving 256 Yorkshire pigs, were conducted to determine the response of barrows and gilts to dilution of finishing rations. In the first experiment an oat–barley basal ration was diluted with 10% increments of a mixture of alfalfa meal and ground oat hulls. In the second, a wheat–barley basal ration was diluted with 15% increments of each of two diluents, an alfalfa meal – oat hull mixture and ground oat hulls alone.In both experiments, rate of gain of barrows was more adversely affected than that of gilts as the level of ration dilution increased. Dilution of the oat–barley basal ration at the 50% level reduced daily gains of gilts and barrows by 26 and 44% respectively. When the wheat–barley basal ration was diluted with 45% of the mixed diluent, daily gains of gilts were improved slightly while those of the barrows were reduced by 15%. When the oat hull diluent was used at the 45% level, daily gains of gilts and barrows were reduced by 4 and 18% respectively when compared with controls fed no diluent.The alfalfa meal – oat hull diluent, added to the wheat–barley ration, increased the proportion of A grades in barrows and gilts; when added to the oat–barley ration the only improvement occurred with barrows. The oat hull diluent had little effect on carcass grades.

This study aimed to evaluate the digestibility of tilapia by-product protein hydrolysate powder (TBHP) from tilapia filleting by-product, and its inclusion in diets for Nile tilapia larvae. In order to determine the apparent digestibility coefficients, two diets were formulated, the reference diet and the test diet (20% of TBHP) and, to evaluate the inclusion, six diets were formulated, which were with 0.0, 2.0; 4.0; 6.0, and 8.0% of TBHP. The apparent digestibility coefficients of crude protein and gross energy were 89.5 and 98.3%, respectively. At levels above 4.0% of inclusion of TBHP, the weight, final length and weight gain were impaired, however, survival rate was higher (p < 0.05). The TBHP can be used in diets for tilapia due to the high digestibility coefficients for crude protein and gross energy. The inclusion of up to 4.0% of TBHP does not affect the reproductive performance and survival rate of Nile tilapia larvae.

THE effect on body weight changes of sheep and goats and digestibility of maintenance rations in which cocoa husk constituted, 0%, 20%, 40% and 50% of the basal ration respectively were studied. These rations were fed to wethers and castrated goats in separate but concurrent digestibility trials. There was no significant change in body weight of both the sheep and the goat. Significant decreases in apparent digestibility occurred in dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fibre and total digestible nutrients. The 40% cocoa husk ration in which cocoa husk existed with maize in the ratio 2:1 appeared to be next best to the control ration for fibre digestibility. Apparent digestibility of the crude fibre component of the feed was significantly higher in the sheep than in the goats.
