Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Alfalfa inclusion did not influence ad libitum DMI of the high-quality tall fescue diet (Period 1).
- Intervention effect Alfalfa inclusion decreased ad libitum DMI during the low-quality period (Period 2).
- Intervention effect Ruminal and total tract DM, cell wall and GE digestibility of the high-quality diet were unaffected by alfalfa inclusion.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa substitution increased digestibility of DM, cell wall and GE in the low-quality diet.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa substitution did not influence dietary cell wall monosaccharide disappearance.
- Intervention effect Ruminal CP digestibility was greater when steers received alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa inclusion did not enhance microbial efficiency in either the high- or low-quality diet.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa substitution to the low-quality diet showed a non-significant trend toward greater microbial efficiency.
- Intervention effect Fluid passage rate was faster in steers fed only low-quality fescue (7.1%/h) than in those fed it substituted with 20% alfalfa (5.0%/h).
