In the present paper the chemical composition and digestibility of several Brachiaria brizantha and Brachiaria humidicola fractions were determined after 70 days of growth. The experimental design was completely randomized with five replications for each specie. According to the position, the harvested plants were subdivided into top, median and bottom fractions for leaves and median and basal fractions for stems. The concentration of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), crude protein (CP), lignin, p_coumaric acid, ferulic acid, neutral sugars (glucose, xylose and […]
