Effect of the microbial additive VITAFERT on the intake of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber in Saanen goats fed Brachiaria brizantha hay
Main Article Content
Abstract
(DB), the levels were added to the supplement at the supply time (09:30 h) according to the treatments. The intake of DM, NDF and their expressions were higher (P < 0.001) in the level of 6.0 ml kg LW-1 of VITAFERT in the ration, with great ratio NDF-TN-1 and higher use of nutrients (ME vs. CP P < 0.001) in the ration, compared to the rest of the treatments. It is concluded that the addition of this microbial additive at a rate of 6.0 ml kg LW-1, in a basic diet of Brachiaria brizantha hay of low quality, together with a minimum of energy-protein
supplement, had an associative effect between both of them, increasing the intake of DM and NDF.
Key words: Sannen, rumen, associative.
