The objective of this study was to determine the biases in estimating fecal excretion from the internal markers indigestible dry matter (DMi), indigestible neutral detergent fiber (NDFi) and indigestible acid detergent fiber (ADFi) and the external marker chromic oxide (Cr2O3) in a digestion trial with ruminants. Five crossbred Holstein-Zebu castrated males with 240 kg average weight were used. The research consisted of three twelve-day experimental periods, from which the first six days were assigned to animal adaptation. The animals were […]
