Effect of some major and trace element interactions upon in vitro rumen cellulose digestion

Creator:

Martinez, Andres

Abstract:

A series of factorial experiments (4 x 4 and 4 x 4 x 4) was designed to investigate the effects of selected combinations of some major and trace elements upon in vitro rumen cellulose digestion. Inocula, varying in ratios of clarified rumen fluid (strained through No. 50 cheesecloth and centrifuged...
