Full TextAbstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of alkali treating on ruminal dry matter (DM) degradation of cottonseed hulls using in situ technique. Cottonseed hulls were treated with NaOH as 20 or 40 g/kg DM [a 20% or 40% solution of NaOH was sprayed on CSH and kept for 0.5 h (CSH2Na0.5 and CSH4Na0.5, respectively), or 48 h (CSH2Na48 and CSH4Na48, respectively) at room temperature. Then, each sample was placed in each bag, then incubated (n=4) for each time (2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h). For zero time, bags were washed using cold tap water. The equation of P= a + b(1-e-ct) was applied c= constant rate of fractional degradation). Dry matter degradation parameters (a, b and c) of the samples CSH4Na0.5=0.057±0.015, 0.50±0.05, 0.018±0.004; CSH4Na48=0.09±0.011, 0.49±0.06, 0.013±0.004, respectively. It was concluded that the spray-treated of CSH with NaOH solution for 48 h caused to increase
