Effect Of Nitrogen Fertilization And Supplementation On The Nutritive Value And Utilization Of Setaria Sphacelata Var. Splendida In Dairy Bulls

Three experiments were conducted at the Dairy Farm, Department of Animal Sciences, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia, Serdang, using four cross-bred dairy bulls, Jersey O X Local Indian Dairy O. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effect s of nitrogen fertilization and supplementatio...
