This experiment was conducted to estimate DM digestibility, fecal output, and DM intake of sheep fed a diet containing oat hay and concentrate. Treatments consisted of two methods of administration of the external marker alkane (C32): equilibrium and pulse dose. In the equilibrium treatment, animals received one daily pellet of cellulose containing 100 mg of C32 during eight days (four days for reach steady state conditions and five days for sample collection). Animals in the pulse dose treatment received only […]
