Effects of crude glycerin levels on nutritional characteristics and performance of sheep fed mixed forage diets
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Two studies were carried out to investigate the effects of crude glycerin (CG) levels in feedlot sheep diets as a substitute for ground corn. In the first study, four castrated rumen-canulated sheep were used to assess the effects of CG on nutrient intake, digestibility, rumen characteristics, and blood glucose. In the second study, 40 crossbred female lambs were employed to evaluate the influence of CG levels in the diet on nutrient intake, digestibility, and animal performance. Crude glycerin levels [...]
