Resumen
Descripción
Changes in pH and concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia nitrogen (NNH3) are important indicators of feed fermentation in the rumen, which may help to better understand possible effects of different diets on animals’ performance. Plant oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (FA) have been shown to alter the milk fatty acid composition, but it can also affect rumen metabolism depending on factors such as the degree of FA unsaturation and feeding method. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of two types of sunflower oil (SO) associated with two methods of concentrate feeding on rumen fermentation parameters in lactating cows fed elephantgrass-based diets.
