Other claims from this paper (16)
- Association The effect of sugarcane fiber digestibility on DM and NDF intake depended on the forage conservation method.
- Intervention effect High NDFD sugarcane (IAC86-2480) increased DMI only when offered as silage.
- Intervention effect High NDFD sugarcane (IAC86-2480) had no effect on DMI when offered as freshly cut.
- Intervention effect Conservation method had no effect on total ruminal mass.
- Intervention effect Low-NDFD genotype (SP91-1049) showed only a tendency for greater NDF and indigestible NDF ruminal mass.
- Intervention effect High NDFD sugarcane (IAC86-2480) had greater NDF turnover and passage rates, only when offered as silage.
- Intervention effect Liquid turnover rate in the rumen was greater for diets containing silage.
- Intervention effect Genotype had no effect on liquid turnover rate in the rumen.
- Intervention effect Diets containing sugarcane as silage increased ruminal pH.
- Intervention effect Total concentration of short chain fatty acids was greater for diets containing fresh sugarcane.
- Intervention effect Proportions of propionate were greater for diets containing fresh sugarcane.
- Intervention effect Diets with fresh sugarcane increased the ruminal population of Streptococcus bovis.
- Intervention effect Diets with fresh sugarcane increased the ruminal population of Ruminococcus albus.
- Intervention effect High NDFD sugarcane (IAC86-2480) increased the relative population of R. albus.
- Intervention effect Feeding high NDFD sugarcane (IAC86-2480) increased Fibrobacter succinogenes population, only when fed as freshly cut.
- Recommendation The authors recommend using high NDFD sugarcane genotypes, which may increase intake and benefit fiber-degrading bacteria in the rumen.
