Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Duckweed had lower crude protein (CP) than soybean meal.
- Observation Duckweed had higher minerals than soybean meal.
- Observation Duckweed had a compositional profile similar to soybean meal.
- Observation Amino acid and protein fraction profiles of duckweed were comparable to those of soybean meal.
- Intervention effect DMI, ADF and NDF digestibility did not differ significantly among diets with duckweed and the positive control.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen intake, N digested and N retained (% of digested) did not differ significantly among supplemental protein diets.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen retained as a percent of intake and N retained (g/d) tended to be slightly lower in diets containing duckweed.
- Intervention effect Serum urea nitrogen levels did not differ significantly among protein diets.
- Intervention effect Serum urea nitrogen levels showed a linear response across protein diets (P = 0.09).
- Observation P retained (g/d) and P digested (g/d) showed both linear and quadratic responses.
- Observation P retained (% of digested) showed a linear response.
- Intervention effect Duckweed does not abnormally affect rumen function and is comparable to soybean meal in dietary function.
- Recommendation Duckweed appears to be a viable source of protein and phosphorus supplementation for ruminants, nearly comparable to soybean meal.
