Dataset on in situ parameters of feed dry matter, nitrogen and starch ruminal degradation
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: Determining nitrogen and starch ruminal in situ kinetics degradation is important to assess feed value or different ingestive, digestive or metabolic parameters in ruminants. A dataset was built from protein and starch ruminal kinetics measurements in order to obtain a large set of reference in situ values for well-known feeds (fresh and conserved forages, common concentrates) and new or alternative feeds used in the context of transition of feeding systems (by-products, agroforestry. All ruminal kinetics measurements were carried out on two different experimental sites with the same experimental conditions. The dataset is composed of 3 Microsoft Excel files. First file describes all the feeds used for the ruminal degradation measurements (feed description and chemical composition). The two other files give respectively the ruminal nitrogen (second file) and starch (third file) in situ kinetics data per cow and per feed. Individual cow per feed is provided contrary to average feed data generally provided in publications.
