The experiment was conducted to evaluate the ruminal pH and ammonia concentration (N-NH3) in rumen liquor collected at 3, 6 and 12 hours after feeding using four ruminal fistulated European x Zebu steers. The forage leaves: stems ratio and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber in situ ruminal degradability of the leaflets from three tropical legumes (leucaena, Leucaena leucocephala; pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan; and glycine, Neonotonia wightii) and leaves from two others tropical forages (ramie, Boehmeria nivea and […]
