Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how replacing wheat bran with cactus cladodes (alongside urea) impacts nutrient intake, nitrogen balance, microbial protein synthesis, and rumen fermentation in steers.
- Five crossbred steers were tested using a 5×5 Latin square design, replacing wheat bran with varying amounts of cactus cladodes (0% to 100%) to determine optimal dietary compositions.
- Results showed that replacing 55% of wheat bran with cactus cladodes led to the best outcomes in nutrient intake and nitrogen balance, making this combination beneficial for steer diets.
The nutritive value and fermentation quality of palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Xaraes) and stylo (Stylosanthes capitata × S. macrocephala cv.
