Verbatim
e0“This trial was conducted to define which alkane (C31 and C33) must be paired with the external marker (C32) to estimate dry matter intake (DMI) of steers grazing three tropical grasses”
e2“C32/C31 underestimated DMI and the pair C32/C33 showed DMI values near to values found in the literature for this steers”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Method / resource The C32/C33 alkane pair gave DMI values near values found in the literature for these steers.
- Observation Both alkane pairs detected DMI differences between grass species, periods and their interaction.
- Recommendation The C32/C33 alkane pair seems more suitable for DMI assessment with the double alkane technique.
