摘要: Abstract The objective of two experiments was to evaluate non-protein N supplementation with protected urea sources in terms rumen fermentation products, nutrient digestibility, and balance ruminally fistulated beef steers (initial bodyweight 239 ± 18 kg) fed switchgrass hay. Experiment 1 compared Optigen II®, 2 RumaPro®. In both experiments, supplements (400 g/kg daily dietary dry matter) were once or every 2 h a balanced design. Supplements contained soybean hulls, corn grain, vitamins, minerals as well sources. Non-protein provided 0.18 g/g N. Switchgrass hay daily, at the same time supplement once-daily treatments. Dry matter intake (4.1 kg/d 1, 4.5 kg/d 2), digestibility (P
