Species and Harvest Time of Fresh Tropical Grasses Affect Rumen Fermentation as Determined by In Sacco and In Vitro Incubations

Species and Harvest Time of Fresh Tropical Grasses Affect Rumen Fermentation as Determined by In Sacco and In Vitro Incubations

The consumption of forages high in slow-degradable carbohydrates by dairy cattle leads to greater ruminal acetate production, which benefits milk fat content. Although tropical grasses are typically rich in fibrous materials, the milk fat content of dairy cows in Southeast Asia is low. Here, we inve...
