Abstract
Nutritional assessment of corn wet feed in Nili Ravi Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
Highlights
Four rumen fistulated buffalo bulls were used in Latin Square Design (4×4) to inspect the impact of replacement of corn grains with corn wet feed (CWF) on nutrients digestibility, rumen characteristics and nitrogen (N) balance

Summary
Feed samples and fecal samples were analysed for DM and CP [16]. The samples were dried at 105oC for 24 hours in hot air oven to determine DM [16]. The N was determined by Kjeldahl method and N was multiply with 6.25 factor to calculate CP [16]. The NDF was determined by using method of Van Soest et al [17]. During each collection period at 17th day ruminal liquor was taken from the rumen of cannulated bulls and pH was determined by Ohaus pH meter (Model, STATER3000). Ruminal NH3-N was determined by direct distillation and titration carried out by Kjeldhal’s method [18]. General linear model of SPSS 17.0 was used to analyse the data by the analysis of variance technique in. Higher (P
