- Abstract
- Two in vivo trials were performed in sheep and cattle to study the nutritive value of dehydrated sugarbeet pulp after treatment with 15 g ammonia per kg fresh weight in an hermetic bag at 20 degrees C during 30 days. This treatment made it possible to double the nitrogen content of the pulp. Measurements made in sheeps showed an increase of about 50% of the ad libitum intakes after treatment. Concerning the digestibility of the components of the diets determined in sheep and cattle, the differences were low (about 1%) and not statistically significant for the dry and organic matter. On the other hand, the digestibility of the crude protein was significantly increased from 37.0 to 64.2% in sheep and from 44.6 to 67.2% in cattle, while the increase of the digestibility of the crude fiber was significant in sheep (from 76.1 to 84.8%) but not in cattle. The nitrogen balance measured in sheep showed that about 40% of the ammonia used for the treatment was finally retained by the animals.
