Description:	he reported effect is due to a combination of increased gain, as forage is used more efficiently, and the improvement in diet digestibility due to a direct (higher digestibility) and indirect effect (improved rumen ermentation) caused by concentrate supplementation. It can be concluded that supplementation is an effective strategy to reduce GHG emission intensity in tropical areas with a well-defined and long lasting dry season as it occurs in Brazil.
