Abstract.- The consume and the digestibility are key parameters in several systems of formulation of diets for ruminant. The measurement of those parameters is made necessary, because, these possess high correlation with the ingestion of matter dry and efficiency in the absorption and use of the nutrients. The consume of foods is influenced by several factors and, when the energy density of these it is lower, as it is the case of diets the base of roughage, the consumption can be limited by the effect of the stuffing. %K consume %K digestion %K herbivore %K performance. consumo %K digest o %K herb¨ªvoro %K performance. %U http://www.veterinaria.org/revistas/redvet/n040406/040613.pdf
