Dietary protein plays an important role in the nutrition of ruminants, besides providing amino
acids; it is also a source of nitrogen for the synthesis of microbial protein. Ruminants have …

The increasing costs of traditional protein sources, such as soybean meal (SBM), have
prompted interest in alternative feeds for ruminants. Non-protein nitrogen (NPN) sources …

This experiment was designed to test the inclusion of highly fermentable sugars (FS) in dairy
rations and their interactions with a slow-release urea (SU) product. The FS are a blend of …

Ruminants have the ability to utilize non-protein N compounds as N sources for rumen
microbial protein synthesis. The objective of this experiment was to determine if use of a …

BACKGROUND The study aimed to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus casei TH14,
cellulase, and molasses combination fermented sugarcane bagasse (SB) as an exclusive …

Eight crossbred steers (average body weight of 418 kg) fitted with ruminal and abomasal
cannula were used to evaluate the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with slow …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a slow-release coated urea product
(CU, 1% as dry matter of diet) on ruminal disappearance and fermentation, as well as on …

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of slow-release urea (SRU) versus
feed-grade urea on portal-drained visceral (PDV) nutrient flux, nutrient digestibility, and total …

New rumen slow-release urea products were made by mixing urea with calcium chloride (U–
Cal) or calcium sulphate (U–Cas) in concentrate mixtures containing a high level of cassava …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of various N sources in concentrates
containing high levels of cassava chips, with rice straw as the basal forage, on rumen …
