Type of supplemental carbohydrate provided in conjunction with forage has been suggested to be a factor that might impact the effect on NDF disappearance (Fondevila et al., 2002). Of particular interest in this regard is the relative impact on fibre disappearance of supplementing with sugars versus starch (Arroquy et al., 2005). The aim of the present study was to elucidate the impact of type of supplemental NFC (starch or sucrose) on in vitro NDF disappearance of lucerne, sugar beet pulp or wheat bran.
