Rumen protected riboflavin and rumen protected pantothenate improved growth performance, nutrient digestion and rumen fermentation in Angus bulls

The study evaluated the effects of rumen protected riboflavin (RPRF) and rumen protected pantothenate (RPPA) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and blood metabolites in bulls. Forty Angus bulls were blocked by body weight and randomly assigned to four treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial design, with factors being 0 or 60 mg riboflavin/kg DM from RPRF and 0 or 35 mg pantothenate/kg DM from RPPA. The experimental period …
