Six Nellore bulls, with initial body weight of 420 kg, were assigned to a duplicated 3×3 Latin square design to evaluate the effects of replacing a true protein source (soybean meal), of high biological value, in a rumen degradable protein (RDP) deficient diet, by urea or starea (a supposedly slow release nonprotein nitrogen source), both in a RDP adjusted diet. In natura sugarcane bagasse as the only source of forage (20% of DM). Evaluated parameters were: rumen ammonia-N concentration, plasma […]
