Abstract:The environmental effects on chemical composition and the rate and extent of crude protein (CP) and dry matter (DM) degradation of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) in the rumen were studied. More intensive nitrogen (N) fertilizing (40, 80 and 140 kg N/ha) increased the content of the water, CP, true proteins and the effective degradability of CP (P < 0.05). Especially in the spring harvest such fertilizing increased the content of acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), cellulose a… Show more
