The voluntary dry matter intake (DMI), rate of passage and mean retention time in the rumen and gastrointestinal tract were estimated using 18 crossbred Holstein-Zebu lactating cows grazing elephantgrass. The voluntary DMI and fecal output estimations the models proposed by QUIROZ et al. (1988) and POND et al. (1989) were used. The data of rate of passage and those of retention time in the rumen the model suggested by GROVUM and WILLIAMS (1973) was chosen. The elephantgrass pasture were fertilized […]
