The present study was aimed at assessing the ingestive behavior of ¾ Zebu × Holstein heifers confined to different levels of substitution of sorghum silage by marandu grass silage. Twenty heifers were used with initial average weight of 346.25 kg, divided into completely randomized experimental design with 5 repetitions and the following treatments: treatment 1) roughage fraction of the diet co...

Organic acids in swine feeding - A Review

Animal productivity implies on enhanced nutrient utilization with an accelerated momentum towards growth with a low cost to feed ratio.
