This research was to evaluate the effect of Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in diets for bovines on ruminal metabolism, including pH, volatile fatty acids, and ammonia and methane production. Four crossbred male cattle (800 kg LW) rumen cannulated were distributed to a 4 × 4 Latin Square design, in 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, composed by two levels of Leucaena (20% and 50% DM) and coast-cross grass hay, with or without yeast. No differences were observed in […]
