“…In this field, the BBM has the advantage of being available during the off‐seasons of conventional grains, making it an alternative for regional producers (Parente et al ., 2017) . This material has been investigated as a partial alternative energy source in ovine (Miotto et al ., 2012; Parente et al ., 2017; de Castro et al ., 2020) , caprine (Santos et al ., 2019, 2020), and bovine (da Cruz et al ., 2014; Ferreira et al ., 2022; Zanine et al ., 2023) diets. However, the use of BBM in ruminant diets may decrease digestibility and feed efficiency due to the increase in the indigestible fibre content, the reduced transit time of through the reticulorumen, and the heightened consumption of dry matter (Alencar et al ., 2015; Santana et al ., 2015).…”
