Resumo: Ruminal fermentation is a process resulting from the set of microbial activities (metabolism) that transform dietary constituents into products considered useful to animals, such as volatile fatty acids, or useless as methane gas (CH4) which represents a consequent energy loss, resulting in lower animal performance (Valadares Filho and Pina, 2006), besides being considered as one of those responsible for the greenhouse effect. Aiming at efficient production, ruminal fermentation modulation strategies have been used to maximize the fermentation of cellulosic compounds, to reduce fermentation losses (methane and ammonia) and to optimize the synthesis of microbial protein. One of these is the inclusion of lipids in the diet. However, little is known about its effect on tropical forages. The objective of this work was to evaluate the isolated effect of lipid sources from corn and soybean on the production of methane and ammoniacal nitrogen using the in vitro gas production technique.
