摘要: Twelve ruminally, duodenally, and ileallycannulated Hereford heifers (average initial BW 313 f 20 kg) were used in a replicated experiment to evaluate dairy food processing wash water solids (WWS) as protein source. Heifers fed 2.8 kg of chopped (7.6 cm) hay one three supplements (1.5 kg/d, DM basis). Supplements formulated be similar energy contained 1.0 (control), 23.2 (WWS), 21.6% (soybean meal, SBM) CP on an OM basis. Total N nonammonia entering the duodenum (gld) greater (P c .lo) for WWS SBM than controls. Bacterial flow (g/d) at was less < controls (43.9) WS- (63.9) SBM- (69.9) supplemented heifers. Feed escape e WWS-fed those (32.1 vs 20.7 gld, respectively). tract digestion greatest SBM, intermediate WWS, least control Microbial synthesis (g/kg intake) enhanced by supplementation, but efficiency @/kg fermented) did not differ among treatments.
