The objective of this trial was to study the effects of substituting corn silage by cassava foliage silage in the diets of non lactating, pregnant dairy cows. The levels of substitution of corn silage by cassava foliage silage were 0, 20, 40 and 60%. Intake and apparent digestibilities of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, total carbohydrates, no fiber carbohydrates were evaluated, and pH and ruminal ammonia nitrogen before and 2, 4, 6 and 8h after the […]
