Abstract

The estimation of rumen degradability of Soy Pass (SP) in comparison with soybean meal (SBM) and 3 concentrate mixtures (KFA, KFB and KFC) by using Nylon Bag (in situ) Technique was conducted with 3 fistulated Holstein Friesian cows. Dry matter (DM) degradation of all tested diets at 2, 4 and 48 h of incubation times was not significant difference (p>0.05), but at 8, 16 and 24 h. of incubation times DM degradation of Soy Pass was significant lower (p<0.05) than other tested diets. By protein degradation of SP followed the same trend at 16 and 24 h of incubation times (p<0,05). The estimated effective protein degradation rate of SP at the outflow rates from 4 percent per h and over was clearly lower than that of SBM.
