Abstract

The aim of this work was to evaluate the degradation of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of the corn grain silage (CGS), passion fruit residue silage (PFS) and corn forage silage (CFS), trough in situ technique. This study was carried out using the nylon bag technique with nine rumen permanent canulated bovine animals, in which the incubation periods were 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. The values obtained for dry matter degradability for CGS, PFS and CFS were, respectively, 53.1%, 50.0% and 41.4% Differences (p < 0.05) were observed for crude protein degradation: 69.7% for CGS, 87.8% for PFS and 60.0% for CFS. The silages did not differ in relation to neutral detergent fiber degradability.
