The experiment was conducted with the objective of predicting the dry matter (DM) digestibility of rations for growing rabbits, by means of equations based on the concept of ideal nutritive entity. One hundred 42-day-old rabbits from the Botucatu Genetic Group were used. Sixteen rations were tested, containing roughage (paper, corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse or pine shavings), plus corn, soybean meal, soybean oil, kaolin and common salt. Roughages were included at four levels, to obtain 22, 28, 34 or 40% neutral […]

This trial was conducted with the objective of evaluating the nutritive value of three tropical forage species: tanzania grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.), marandu grass (Brachiaria brizantha) and Tifton 85 bermudagrass (Cynodon spp) in two different periods of the year (January-March and April-June) and in three cutting ages (28, 35 and 42 days), based on the chemical composition, protein and carbohydrate fractions, and in vitro digestibility of dry matter (DMD) and organic matter (OMD). Marandu grass, in the period January-March, had […]
