Inclusion of oils in the in vitro fermentation of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum. cv. Cameroon)
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of incorporating vegetable oils into the in vitro fermentation of a tropical grass on the kinetics and digestibility of the fibrous fraction by rumen microorganisms. Treatments consisted of different inclusion levels (0, 2, 4, and 6% dry matter) of lipid sources, namely soybean oil, canola oil, and baru oil, mixed with tropical forage (Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv. Cameroon). A completely randomized design was employed, featuring a 3 × 4 [...]
