Description
Summary:An abstract of an article by Kondratovich et al evaluating the effects of pre-treatment of growing diets with exogenous cellulose/xylanase (Trichoderma ressie) on intake, ruminal fermentation, digestibility, and feeding behavior is presented. Fibrolytic enzyme as pre-treatment of beef cattle growing diets stimulated intake, positively affected ruminal fermentation without negatively affecting feeding behavior. High quality growing diets positively affected intake, ruminal fermentation, and reduced physical events of consumption.
