An experiment was conducted to study the effects of allowance of ammoniated rice straw on the voluntary intake (VI) and digestibility of dry matter (DMD), and on the intake, excretion, digestibility and N balance. Fifteen adult sheep, males, castrated, with average weight of 63.8 kg, individually kept in metabolic cages, were used. The levels of straw fed to the animals were: 1.5; 3.0; 4.5; 6.0 and 7.5% of live weight. A supplement (200 g/animal/day of corn) was used to supply […]
