2 3 HAY (hay only), CONT (hay + concentrate), MON (hay + concentrate + monensin), SALI (hay + concentrate + salinomycin), FLAV (hay + concentrate + flavomycin). Vertical bars represent the standard deviation; Potential deg: represents the incubation time of hay needed to achieve potential degradation.
For the ruminal variables of hay DM degradation, the inclusion of concentrate in the diet reduced (P≤0.05) the fraction "b" and the ED calculated at 0.02 and 0.05 h-1 and did not change (P>0.05) the "c" fraction and the ED calculated at 0.08 h-1 (Table 4). The inclusion of concentrate reduced (P≤0.05) fraction “c” and the calculated ED (at 0.02, 0.05, and
