Four cows fitted with rumen cannulae were used in a 4x4 Latin square design to investigate the rumen fermentation and the plasma urea-N concentration. The animals were fed with sugarcane as the exclusive roughage and supplemented with soyabean meal in the treatment 0%UR or urea at levels of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% of fresh sugarcane.
