I. Pulgar-Lugo, H. Acosta, Omar E. Araujo-Febres
In order to determine the influence of time, storage conditions and molasses level on the hardness of multinutrient blocks (BM); it were elaborated 72 blocks using urea 5 %, salt 10 %, mineral 8 %, hay 3 %, lime 10 %, molasses (30, 40 and 50 %) and the difference with corn meal. Three storage time (1, 14 and 28 days) and two storage packing forms (with and without packing), thereinafter it was measured resistance (kg/cm2) in a hydraulic press. It is used a totally random design with treatment arrangement in split plots in the time. The effect of the molasses level, storage condition, the packing-molasses interaction and the storage time on the resistance of the BM, resulted highly meaningful (P
