CONSUMO DE NUTRIENTES EM VACAS LEITEIRAS ALIMENTADAS COM DIETAS CONTENDO BAGAÇO DE CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR AMONIZADO ASSOCIADO À PALMA FORRAGEIRA

Nutrition of dairy cows requires diets rich in concentrate of high energy quality to meet their requirements so, it is necessary to adopt a production system that intensifies the productivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutrient intake of dairy cows fed with diets containing ammoniated sugarcane bagasse associated with forage palm. Eight cows ½ Dutch/Zebu blood were distributed in two 4x4 Latin squares in a factorial scheme of 2x2, with sugarcane bagasse ammoniated with 3 or 6%. Forage palm was used to compose total diet in 18 or 36%. Interaction was not significant for forage palm and urea, nor was there any effect for addition of forage palm in diets and urea levels in bagasse ammoniated, for the variables consume of MS, PB, FDNcp, CNFcp and consume of NDT. The consumption of EE presented significant effect for inclusion of forage palm. It is recommended using ammoniated sugarcane bagasse with 3% of urea associated with forage palm in 36% of total diet
