DOI: 10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2020.114662
Abstract: Abstract Ruminal acidosis can penalize cattle performance and modify ruminal microbiota composition; in that sense, providing quality forage may be a useful tool to cope with such dysfunction. This assay aimed to control animals’ performance… read more here.
