Abstract: The intake and total apparent and partial digestibility of nutrients, ruminal pH and ammonia concentrations and efficiency of microbial synthesis were evaluated in beef cattle fed diets containing sorghum silage and concentrate in the following ratios: 800:200, 650:350, 500:500 and 350:650 g/kg, in a total dry matter basis. Four crossbred Holstein x Zebu rumen and abomasum fistulated steers, 224 ± 23 kg-average initial live weight, were assigned to a 4 × 4 Latin square design. Chromic oxide was used as marker … Show more

“…The higher utilisation of the 30% roughage diet may be due to differences in the DMDis of the ingredients, as corn silage had lower utilisation than soybean hulls and corn grain (Table 2). This study corroborates published data, showing that a reduction in dietary roughage promotes an increase in the digestibility of dry matter and crude protein (VERÁS et al, 2000;RESENDE et al, 2001;PEREIRA et al, 2007). However, some authors reported an increase in DMD but no increase in CPD (ÍTAVO et al, 2002;SILVA et al, 2005).…”

“…According to the literature, a reduction in the proportion of dietary roughage improves nutrient digestibility (VÉRAS et al, 2000;RESENDE et al, 2001;ÍTAVO et al, 2002;SILVA et al, 2005;PEREIRA et al, 2007). Many alternative ingredients are available on the market for formulating different animal feeds.…”

“…There was no change (P>0.05) in dry matter intake, feed conversion, or daily weight gain because of the increase to 80% of concentrate in the diet (Table 2). Previous studies showed that the increase from 20 up to 40% concentrate in the diet might result in increased daily weight gain of Guzera beef cattle (ROSA et al, 2010) and dry matter intake will linearly reflected the increase from 20 to 65% diet concentrate ratio (PEREIRA et al, 2007a). However, our results did not support the theory that increasing the dietary concentrate improved the rate of degradation and the passage of food, favoring an increase in consumption ( VAN SOEST, 1994).…”
