متن کاملDry Matter and Crude Protein Degradability ofMopane Worm (Imbrasia belina) in Rumen of Steers
Three cannulated Tswana steers were used to investigate the rumen degradability of mopane worm (Imbrasia belina) by measuring the amount of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearing at incubation periods up to 72 h.
