| Description |
An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of increasing intake of barley grain or barley grain plus protein as supplement on microbial crude protein (MCP) production, efficiency of microbial crude protein production (eMCP) in the rumen of Brahman steers consuming low quality forage. Ten steers were used and allocated to two supplement groups namely barley grain (B) and barley plus protein (BP). The experimental design was two incomplete 5x5 Latin Squares, each with three runs. Each run consisted of a 21 d adaptation and 7 d collection period. Steers received Green panic hay ad libitum with one of five levels of B or BP (0; 0.5; 1.0; 1.5 and 2.0% of body weight per day (W/d)). MCP production in the rumen increased linearly (P
