The goal of work was to evaluate the utilization of equine (EF) and bovine feces (BF), obtained from the rectum, as the source of alternative inoculum to ruminal liquor (RL), for determinate the in vitro dry matter digestibility according to the technique described by Tilley and Terry, adapted to ruminal fermentation (DAISYII/ ANKOM® . One Holstein cow, donor of ruminal liquor and feces, and one Percheron m...
Three Cynodon grasses (Poaceae) (Tifton 85, Tifton 44 and Coast-cross) harvested at ages 21, 42 and 63 days in the summer were evaluated for protein and carbohydrate fractions composition. Crude protein was divided into 5 fractions: A (non-protein nitrogen), B1 (soluble protein with fast rumen degradability), B2 (insoluble protein with intermediate rumen degradability), B3 (insoluble protein with slow rumen deg...
The experiment was divided into three parts: composition analysis of soybean hulls (SH), soybean meal, ground corn and wheat meal; in vitro digestibility of dry matter (IVDDM) and cellular wall (IVDCW) of the feeds mentioned above; in situ degradation of dry matter (ISDDM), organic matter (ISDOM) and gross energy (ISDGE), of milled (MSH) or pelleted (PSH) soybean hulls. Three collections of rumen liquid were un...
