Six Nellore bulls, with initial body weight of 420 kg, were used to evaluate cromium oxide determined by X-ray fluorescence as an external markers of digestibility. Cromium oxide was compared to internal indicators: indigestible NDF (NDFi) incubated in vitro for 144 hours and acid detergent lignin and total feces collection. Digestibility coefficients of DM, OM, NDF, ADF, CP and EE were estimated. Experimental diets were: 1) soybean meal, in a RDP deficient diet; 2) urea; 3) starea (non protein nitrogen […]
