For the experiment, we used two cannulated Swiss bulls (700 kg PV), in a randomized block design, where each animal represented a block. We evaluated three enzyme levels (0, 1, and 2 g Fibrozyme® kg forage−1 DM), and put nailon bags at five different incubation times (6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h). The results showed that including 2 g of Fibrozyme® kg-1 DM improves in situ digestibility of dry matter of chickpea straw (P<0.05) for all incubation times, as well as the degradation kinetics parameters. We conclude that 2 g kg-1 forage DM of the studied Fibrozyme® improves the in situ degradation kinetics and ruminal degradability of DM of the evaluated farm residue.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Ciencia y Agricultura}, author={López-Inzunza, Hugo de Jesús and Chongo-García, Bertha Bienvenida and La-O-León, Orestes and Guerra-Liera, Juan Eulogio and López-López, Hugo and Luna-López, Maribel and López-Juárez, Luciano Abelino and Castro-Camacho, Samuel Jesús}, year={2018}, month={Jul.}, pages={7–13} }
