Intake, digestibility, ruminal parameters, and microbial protein synthesis in crossbred steers fed diets based on Brachiaria grass silage and sorghum silage.

the article details a study involving four Holstein crossbred steers, conducted from July to September 2002. These steers were fitted with ruminal and abomasal cannulaes through surgery. Various factors were measured during the research, including ruminal pH, microbial protein synthesis and total tract and partial apparent digestibilities of nutrients. They were fed with a mixture of silage and concentrate.
