Summary

Neutral detergent fiber

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
