Spineless Cactus plus Urea and Tifton-85 Hay: Maximizing the Digestible Organic Matter Intake, Ruminal Fermentation and Nitrogen Utilization of Wethers in Semi-Arid Regions

Spineless Cactus plus Urea and Tifton-85 Hay: Maximizing the Digestible Organic Matter Intake, Ruminal Fermentation and Nitrogen Utilization of Wethers in Semi-Arid Regions

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing Tifton-85 hay (<i>Cynodon</i> spp. cv. Tifton 85) with 0, 150, 300, 450 and 600 g/kg dry matter (DM) of spineless cactus (SC, <i>Nopalea cochenilifera</i> Salm-Dyck) plus urea and ammonium sulfate (UAS; 9:1) on DM,...
