Abstract

This experiment was conducted to determine the ruminal outflow rate of 6 kinds of common feedstuffs for semi-wool sheep, and to analyze the effects of the actual measured value and the commonly used reference value of outflow rate on the determination of the rumen effective degradability of feedstuffs. Six healthy Yunnan semi-wool male sheep at the age of 3 years and with the body weight of 63 to 65 kg were selected as experimental animals, and four of them fitted with permanent ruminal cannula. Four cannula sheep were used to determine the dry matter recovery rate of chromium mordanted feedstuffs, and twelve normal sheep were used to determine the ruminal outflow rate of soybean meal, rapeseed meal, corn, cocksfoot, soybean straw and wheat straw. The results showed as follows:1) the fecal chromium content of three chromium mordanted concentrates soybean meal, rapeseed meal and corn reached crest value at 24 to 28 h after feeding, while for three chromium mordanted roughages cocksfoot, soybean straw and wheat straw, it was 24 to 36 h. 2) There were differences in the ruminal outflow rates of different feedstuffs, the ruminal outflow rate for soybean meal, rapeseed meal, corn, cocksfoot, soybean straw and wheat straw was 7.30%/h, 7.49%/h, 6.84%/h, 5.02%/h, 5.59%/h and 3.97%/h, respectively. 3) The differences of effective degradability of dry matter, organic matter and crude protein calculated by actual measured and reference values of outflow rate were significant, and the data calculated by actual measured values were all lower than those calculated by actual measured values. It is concluded that there is significant difference between the ruminal effective degradability using actual measured value and the ruminal effective degradability using reference value. Therefore, we recommend to measure the feedstuffs ruminal outflow rate when using the rumen nylon bag method to determine the ruminal effective degradability in actual research work.
