Abstract

In order to determine of nutritive value of soybean meal treated with gamma-irradiation using in situ technique, this study was carried out. In this study three fistulated wetheres (47.5±2.75 kg) were used in in situ method. Ruminal DM and CP disappearances were measured 0, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h. Dry matter degradability of untreated soybean meal at 96h was 75.57% that was higher than soybean meal treated with gamma-irradiation and there were significant differences (P<0.05). Crude Protein degradability of untreated soybean meal at 0h was 9.56% that was higher than soybean meal treated with gamma-irradiation and there were significant differences (P<0.05).
