An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of molasses, given at different times, on feed intake, digestibility, degradation of hay dry matter (DM) and rumen pool fermentation. Four ruminally fistulated Friesian X Boran crossbred non-lactating cows were given a basal diet of grass hay ...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of forage type and level of concentrate supplementation on forage intake, diet digestibility and milk production. Twenty-four crossbred cows (Bos taurus X Bos indicus), in early lactation, were allocated to the following six dietary treatments...

An experiment was carried out with four rumen fistulated crossbred Friesian X Zebu lactating cows to evaluate the Na content of faeces as an indicator of Na deficiency in cattle. In addition, the effect of NaCl supplementation on the animal performance and rumen parameters was examined. The cows ...
