The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of different dietetic fiber physical effectiveness on the retention time and apparent digestibility of lactating dairy cows. Ten Holstein cows (average 550 kg of live weight) were allotted to a switch back experimental design in three successive periods. The animals were individually housed in a tie stall and fed with total mixed rations constituted by Tifton hay (50.4%) and concentrated (49.6%). The Tifton hay was ground in commercial miller with […]
