This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with condensed molasses soluble (CMS), which has economically benefitted as an alternative ingredient of molasses, on growth performance and meat quality in growing-finishing pigs. A total of 160 cross-bred growing pigs (LY×D) having body weight 27.3±1.78 kg, were allotted to 1 of the 4 treatment groups with 4 replications each, in a completely random block design. The experimental diet consisted of a basal diet (CON), with supplementation of molasses 3% (MOL 3.0), CMS 1.5% (CMS 1.5), and CMS 3% (CMS 3.0) to basal diet. Feed and water were provided ad libitum for 70 days. We observed higher feed intake in the MOL 1.5, CMS 1.5, and CMS 3.0 groups than CON group. The final body weight and weight gain were significantly improved in the CMS 3.0 group (p<0.05), as compared to CON group. Evaluation of the meat quality revealed no significant difference in water holding capacity, heating loss, and pH, among all experiment groups. This study indicates that feeding CMS results in improved growth performance in growing-finishing pigs without deterioration in meat quality, and has the potential to be used as an alternative ingredient of molasses in swine feed.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of condensed molasses soluble (CMS) treatment on the mineralization of N, chemical properties and soil microbial population under the incubation condition with unsaturated water content during the 7 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$ in the different levels of CMS application. The results indicated that the total nitrogen content of soil was increased with increasing application rate of CMS and this trend was maintained up to 7 weeks. With CMS treatment content of $NH_4-N$ was gradually decreased. However, the content of $NO_3-N$ in the soil was gradually increased with incubation time due to the nitrification under the unsturated water condition. The CMS treatment increased the microbial populations such as bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi, which may be due to the availability of more nutrients such as amino acids, sugars and other minor elements from CMS. The pH of soil was found to be reduced by the addition of CMS, Whereas, electrical conduvtivity of soil was correspondingly increased with increasing application rate of CMS.

A series of four in vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate condensed molasses solubles (CMS) as a source of nitrogen for ruminal microbes. In experiment 1, as compared with urea, the value of CMS as a nitrogen source was examined. In experiment 2, to determine the time needed for maximal response of microbial synthesis, the treatments were incubated for increasing times (from 6 h to 16 h). Because a sediment that was assumed to cause nitrogen loss was found after incubation in experiments 1 and 2, it was decided to avoid formation of sediment using sugar instead of molasses or a shorter time incubation (experiments 3 and 4). Furthermore, in experiment 4, because the extent to which ammonia nitrogen is released from CMS and urea before 6 h of incubation was uncertain, it was decided to examine the peaks of concentrations of ammonia nitrogen released from CMS and urea by sampling after 2 h incubation. There was no significant difference in the concentration of microbial-N between molasses/CMS and molasses/ urea treatments in experiment 1, although there were greater decreases in ammonia concentration with the molasses/CMS treatment. The microbial protein synthesis was increased progressively until 10 h for both treatments (experiment 2). Although ingredients that were completely soluble (sucrose, urea) were used in experiment 3, the sediment was still evident suggesting that the sediment was largely of microbial not feed origin. Ammonia release from CMS was much faster than from urea during 2 h incubation. In conclusion, the results of the present studies suggest that the feed value of CMS as a source of nitrogen for ruminal bacteria was similar to that of urea when it was estimated in vitro.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of CMS (Condensed Molasses Soluble, a by-product generated from molasses during the lysine production) on the nutrient uptake, growth and yield of rice. The nitrogen uptake of rice was found to be higher in CMS treatments compared to the control treatment during the growth period. The leaf color index, height of the plants and number of tillers were increased by the application of CMS. Rice yield was highest in ($7,070kg\;ha^{-1}$) and an increase of 21% was observed in 0.3% CMS treated plots compared untreated control ($3,000kg\;ha^{-1}$). The protein content of unpolished rice increased from 4 to 28% due to the effect of CMS, while Toyo palatability score decreased. Though a decrease in pH and an increase in EC values were observed with CMS application, this phenomenon did not affect the growth and yield of rice in paddy field.
