The digestibility parameters of E. crus-pavonis samples \u0000were determined by the in vitro method at different phenological stages. The gas \u0000production (GP) during 24 h of incubation was assessed using the in vitro incubation technique \u0000with bovine rumen fluid. In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDM) values \u0000ranged from 52.09% to 64.76% with a decrease observed with the phenological \u0000stages of E. crus-pavonis (from 64.76% at the leafy stage to 52.09% at the flowering stage). The \u0000microbial biomass (MB) values varied significantly between 67.99 and 88.45 mg, \u0000with no significant difference observed between the leafy (88.45 mg), bolting \u0000(82.93 mg), and early heading (80.26 mg) stages (P > 0.05). On the other \u0000hand, changes in the gas produced during 24 h from the studied samples of E. crus-pavonis (34.9 \u0000and 48 ml/500mg) and volatile fatty acids (VFA) values (1.08 and 0.80 mmol/ml) \u0000decreased significantly (P E. crus-pavonis in \u0000rumen fluid significantly decreased with advanced plant maturity (P E. crus-pavonis. By \u0000combining the requirements of an optimal quantitative and qualitative \u0000production of E. crus-pavonis, \u0000harvesting at the bolting or early heading stage is an option of choice for \u0000exploitation as forage, under the conditions of this study. Based on the in vitro digestibility \u0000parameters studied, E. crus-pavonis is suitable as a ruminant feed.","PeriodicalId":62784,"journal":{"name":"动物科学期刊(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44601711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Light microscopy in \u0000combination with computerized video tracking is employed for the determination of the survival time of P. caudatum. Up to 800 \u0000mg/L, selenium nanoparticles are not acutely toxic. With respect to a potential antidote effect, the \u0000lethality of silver nanoparticles, silver nitrate, sodium hydrogen selenite, \u0000and sodium selenite to P. caudatum was decreased and survival time was extended upon pre-treatment with selenium nanoparticles. \u0000Taken together, these findings suggest that administration of selenium \u0000nanoparticles attenuates exposure to toxicants. Selenium nanoparticles could be a good \u0000functional additive for food management in animals.","PeriodicalId":62784,"journal":{"name":"动物科学期刊(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45644139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
