Effect of supplemental protein:ratio on the intake, digestibility, fill, and turnover of dormant bluestem range-grasses

DelCurto, T.; Cochran, R.C.; Jacques, K.A.; Harmon, D.L.; Towne, G.; Avery, T.B.; Vanzant, E.S.
Feeding a low crude protein (12%) supplement depressed dormant bluestem

range-grass fiber digestibility, whereas moderate (27%) and high (41 %) protein

supplementation maintained forage digestibility and encouraged intake. Increased

intake for moderate and high protein groups appeared to be associated with

increased rumen dry matter and indigestible fiber fill.
