Zusammenfassung: | Incubation with Lactobacillus acidophilus 629 effectively reduced concentrations of simmondsin and simmondsin-2'-ferulate, the major toxicants in jojoba meal. The effect of this microbiological treatment on acceptability of jojoba meal to ruminants was evaluated by offering pelleted 70% concentrate diets containing 10% of untreated jojoba meal (JM), treated jojoba meal (TJM) or cottonseed meal (CSM) in pairs, or singly, to four individually fed steers/treatment. The data indicate that treatment with Lactobacillus acidophilus 629 can moderate, if not eliminate, the factor(s) in JM that adversely affect feed intake by ruminants. Nevertheless, the digestibility, N balance and performance data show that the TJM used in these studies was not equivalent to CSM as a source of supplemental protein for steers. |
