TL;DR: In this article, the degradation profiles of dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of different forages using nylon (50 µm), F57 (Ankom®) and non-woven textile (NWT - 100 g/m2) bags were evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of supplementation with nitrogenous compounds on intake and digestibility in cattle under grazing during dry season were evaluated, and linear-response-plateau relationships were observed between intake estimates and diet crude protein levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the efficiency of using nylon textiles (50 μm), F57 (Ankom®) and nonwoven textile (NWT - 100 g/m2) on laboratory evaluation of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) by using quantitative filter paper as purified cellulose standard and by simulating different composition of samples with additions of corn starch, pectin, casein and soybean oil.

TL;DR: Protein supplementation in grazing cattle during the rainy season, while stimulating voluntary forage intake, results in higher efficiency of N utilization when compared to energy supplementation, a possible response to increased microbial protein synthesis in the rumen and improved N status in the animal body.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different amounts of a protein supplement on intake, digestibility, and metabolic characteristics of nitrogen utilization in cattle during the dry-to-rainy transition period were evaluated.
