Beard grass (Brachiaria brizantha; control) was harvested at 30 d of re-growth at the EMBRAPA Dairy Cattle Research Centre (Coronel Pacheco, MG, Brazil) located at 21[degrees] 35' S, 43[degrees] 15' W and 435 m above sea level.

Three rumen fistulated lactating Holstein-Zebu crossbred dairy cows were fed a diet consisting of beard grass forage supplemented with 2 kg of concentrate (22 g/kg CP and 12.6 g/kg NDF in DM) on a DM basis for the in sacco study.

Substrates: The substrates used for in vitro incubations were beard grass (Brachiaria brizantha; control) or beard grass supplemented with oilseed press cake or glycerine (0.864 w/v pure) in ratios of 1,000:0, 900:100, 800:200 and 600:400, for each treatment, respectively.

Inoculum: Inoculum for the in vitro incubation was obtained from three ruminally fistulated cows grazing beard grass supplemented with 2 kg of concentrate (22 g/kg CP and 12.6 g/kg NDF in DM).

Degradable insoluble DM was highest (p<0.05) for SBM, whereas the undegradable residual DM fraction was highest (p<0.01) for castor oilseed press cake when compared to other oilseed press cakes and beard grass (control).
