Ingestive Behavior of Ovine Fed with Marandu Grass Silage Added with Naturally Dehydrated Brewery Residue

Table 2

Dry matter (kg/day) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF/kg/day) consumption in 24 hours, number of ruminated boluses per day (number of boluses per day), average time (sec) spent in chewing per bolus (boluses per sec), and total time chew (min/day) of ovine fed with marandu grass silage.
