Popis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gamma irradiation (g-irradiation) at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kGy on ruminal dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradability and intestinal CP digestibility of soybean meal (SBM). Nylon bags of untreated or g-irradiated SBM were suspended in the rumen of four Holstein cows for up to 48 h, and resulting data were fitted to non-linear degradation model to calculate degradation parameters of DM and CP. From in sacco results, the water soluble fractions decreased linearly (P −1 by 17, 30 and 42%, respectively. Gamma irradiation increased linearly (P
