Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Garcia-Ascolani et al assessing the effect of two inclusion rates of Fermenten on ruminal fermentation profile, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients in Angus crossbred steers is presented. Nitrogen metabolism was similar between treatments; there was no difference on ruminal NH3-N (P = 0.97) or BUN (P =0.95) concentrations. Decreased intake may hinder possible effects of FER on ruminal fermentation parameters, N metabolism, and nutrient digestibility.
