Article Synopsis
- The study compared the in situ dry matter degradability (ISDMD) and crude protein degradability (ISCPD) of high-moisture and dried corn grains from Japan with imported corn from the US, Brazil, and South Africa.
- Results showed that while ISDMD values for US and South African corn were similar, Brazilian corn had lower ISDMD compared to the others.
- The findings highlight that different corn varieties affect degradability significantly, indicating that high-moisture corn grain silage might be a better feed option for dairy cattle than dried corn grain, particularly due to higher degradability in Japanese high-moisture corn.
Twelve sheep were used in a 3 × 3 Latin square design to evaluate the effect of substituting wheat bran with forage soybean silage in the diet on apparent digestibility and nitrogen balance. Forage soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) was cultivated in a no-till, no-herbicide cropping system with Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.

The study sites were composed of a control forest area without fire damage, a lightly-burned forest area, and a heavily-burned forest area. DGGE band patterns showed that there were many common bacterial taxa across the areas although the vegetation is not the same.
