The experiment was conducted to evaluate the changes on the chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of the Brachiaria decumbens Stapf, Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst ex. A. Rich) Stapf, jaragua (Hyparrhenia rufa Ness Stapf) hays, harvested following the seed ripening stage and treated with anhydrous ammonia (3.0% DM) or urea (5.4% DM). The data showed that anhydrous ammonia and urea decreased NDF and hemicellulose contents with the same efficiency. The treatments did not change ADF, cellulose, and lignin […]
