The effect of a chemical treatment (ammoniation with urea) or a biological treatment (innoculation with the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus) on the nutritive value of Brachiaria decumbens hay was evaluated by means of chemical analyses and a digestibility trial with sheep. Both treatments lasted 42 days, and thereafter the hay was dried and ground for animal feeding. The experimental diets were the following: untreated Brachiaria hay (FNT); untreated hay plus urea added in the trough (FNT+U); fungus-treated hay plus urea (FTB+U); […]

The chemical composition and the preservation of sugar cane byproducts treated with 0, 1, 2 and 4% (N-ammonia in dry matter) using anhydrous ammonia, urea and ammonia sulfate, on a factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design were studied. No alteration was observed in dry matter content of sugar cane bagasse in function of sources of ammonia. The sources of ammonia decreased neutral detergent fiber (NDF) content of sugar cane bagasse, however; only the ammonia sulfate decreased the NDF of […]
