Fermented soybean meal (FSM) can improve protein utilization efficiency but is easily degraded in the rumen; therefore, it cannot provide sufficient metabolizable (MP) for dairy cows. Here, rumen degradation characteristics of FSM combined with tannin extracts from quebracho or chestnut trees heat-treated were investigated regarding vitro gas production and situ rumens three fistulated The results incubation showed that dry matter (DM) rate decreased treatments. Compared those FSM, effective...
