Chemical characteristics of dairy calves digesta fed diets with different levels of concentrate

This research was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels of concentrate in the diet on the contents of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and crude protein (CP) of the digesta, in the distinct sections of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the dairy calves. Thirty-two young bulls were used, half Holstein and the other half crossbred Holstein-Zebu, were slaughtered with an average age of six months and 190 kg LW final after [...]
