Dry fecal matter production was estimated from neutral detergent indicators on indigestible fiber, indigestible acid detergent fiber, indigestible dry matter, incubated for 144 hours and 288 hours, as well as chromium oxide (Cr2O3) and enriched and purified isolated lignin (LIPE®) in two sampling schemes (3 and 5 days) on buffaloes. Sample consisted of five castrated animals with average weight of 300 ± 0.6 kg fed on elephant grass cv Cameroon (Pennisetum purpureum). Experimental design consisted of randomized blocks in subdivided […]

The objective of this trial was to investigate the intestinal digestion of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) using different markers and the effect of sampling collection period (daytime vs. diurnal) on nutrient digestion. Four crossbred Holstein x Zebu heifers fitted with ruminal and ileal cannulas were used in this trial. Animals were housed in individual pens and fed ad libitum bermudagrass hay plus 1 kg of concentrate (27% CP). The experiment lasted 60 days with seven days for diet adaptation and […]
