RESUMO

The effects of phosphorus from Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) or Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) sources were evaluated on in situ ruminal digestibility of coast-cross hay (Cynodon dactylum) and also their solubility using in vitro study. Twelve Suffolk crossbred wethers were used, fitted with ruminal cannulas. The experimental period was divided into two stages: the first one evaluated the in situ solubility of the two sources of phosphorus in three different extractors: ruminal fluid from animals receiving roughage plus concentrate-based diet; ruminal fluid from animals receiving only roughage-based diet; and 2% citric acid solution. To quantify the solubility of DCP and MAP in rumen fluid, a pool of fluid from each group, relating to the feed offered, was formed. The samples were dissolved in solvents and total phosphorus concentration was determined, by reading the absorbance in a spectrophotometer. The second stage evaluated the effect of phosphorus availability from the two sources used on in situ ruminal digestibility of the coast-cross hay. A completely randomized design was used, composed by two treatments: Dicalcium Phosphate and Monoammonium Phosphate. Digestibility of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber was calculated, applying in situ nylon bag technique, with incubation time of 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours. Monoammonium phosphate showed higher availability in ruminal fluid than dicalcium phosphate (P<0,05); however, this difference in the concentration of phosphorus available in ruminal fluid did not cause significant increase on in situ digestibility of NDF or DM of hay.
