DIGESTIBILIDADE DE NUTRIENTES EM NOVILHAS SUPLEMENTADAS COM NÍVEIS DIFERENTES DE PROTEÍNA DEGRADÁVEL NO RÚMEN

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of providing multiple supplements with different levels of rumen degradable protein (RDP) on nutrient digestibility in Giroland heifers during the water-dry transition period, also divided into three blocks in a randomized block design with repetitions. There was similarity (P> 0.05) between the treatments, for the total apparent digestibility values of DM, OM, PB, FDNcp and CNFcp, different from the results for the total EE apparent digestibility, varying between 31.47% and -3.69% (P <0.05), respectively, for the diets S100% PDR and S140% PDR.
