Abstract

The study was conducted in order to determine which bromatological aspect and kinetic parameters of materials from the silage from the pineapple plant . Four treatments were used: 1 - Pineapple silage compaction under 600 kg / m³ , 2 - Pineapple silage compaction under 700 kg / m³ , 3 - Pineapple silage compaction under 900 kg / m³ , 4 - Pineapple silage under compression 1000 kg / m³ . After ensiling the material from the plantation were evaluated bromatological aspects and kinetic passage of particles. For the kinetics of passage of particles was used as an indicator to mark the chromium fiber. Pass rates were determined by the recovery in the faeces of the animal. Bromatological parameters were not significant difference between treatments. Treatment with 900 kg/m3 compaction proved to be more efficient by providing a potentially digestible and consequently a higher indigestible fraction lower compared to the other treatments.
