Digestibility and ruminal fluid modifications in rams and buffaloes on ensiled maixe stalks and ful-fat soybeans flakes

Authors have estimated the voluntary intake of a diet with 10% of crude protein on dry matter (d.m.) composed of ensiled maize stalks and full-fat soybean flakes in buffaloes (15 months of age) and rams (2.5- 4 years of age).The d.m. voluntary intake resulted higher for buffaloes (67.8 vs 41.8). The Apparent Digestibility Coefficients were almost similar for the two species. The kind of diet influenced the ruminal fluid characteristics for each species.
