Popis: This study was designed to investigate hourly ruminal degradation pattern and daily Amino Acid (AA) production of sheep fed six feed ingredients during a nine consecutive days trial. Twelve sheep (av. BW 60 kg), with ruminal cannulas were assigned to six dietary treatments according to a 6×2 factorial arrangement in which dietary treatment were: Raw corn meal (T 1), Processed corn meal (T 2), Raw soybean meal (T 3), Processed soybean meal (T4), Raw distillers dried grains with solubles (T 5) and Processed distillers dried grains with solubles (T 6) and 2 environment temperature (20 and 30°C). Animals were given restrict access to Totally Mixed Rations (TMR) and ruminally infused daily with each of the above ingredients. Digestive characteristics showed two hourly degradation of pH and NH + 4 differed (p
