TORRES, M. et al. In vitro digestibility of Paspalum notatum in ruminal fluidof buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) and bovines (Bos indicus). Rev. vet. [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.1, pp.54-56. ISSN 1669-6840.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/vet.3114631.

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the in vitrodigestibility coefficients of dry matter (IVDMD) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of mature Paspalum notatum grass in buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) and cattle (Bos indicus). For in vitro digestibility, ruminal fluid from one animal of each species was used; animals previously had a period of adaptation to the diet. In vitro digestibility was performed by the Tilley & Terry method (1963). Significant differences in digestibility were found for both species, IVDMD: 20.31% vs. 17.91%, standard error mean (SE): 0.6448; IVOMD: 20.30% vs 15.68%, SE: 1.7429 for buffalos and bovines, respectively.

Palabras clave : buffaloes; bovines; Paspalum notatum; in vitro digestibility; ruminal liquid.
