Data set from the manuscript addresses the use of nutritional alternatives: that the addition of soybean hulls levels affects protein and carbohydrate fractionation, with significant changes in rumen degradability; that most of the analyzed variables were affected linearly, so levels of additive inclusion resulted in satisfactory growth of rumen microorganisms and synchronism between the protein and carbohydrate digestion rates; and that these had important effect on the end products of fermentation and on animal production. This is significant because animals fed diets showing these characteristics can better express their animal performance. The results obtained in this study indicate that the addition of intermediate levels of soybean hulls close to 20–30% ensures better characteristics in the silage of<i> Brachiaria decumbens</i>.
