ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sunflower meal (SFM) inclusion on the performance, nutrient digestibility, and respirometric parameters in sheep. Twenty-four Dorper × Santa Inês uncastrated males, with an average age of 5 mo and initial body weight (BW) of 27.91±6.0 kg, were distributed in a randomized block design with four treatment diets containing 0, 100, 200, and 300 g of SFM/kg of total dry matter, replacing soybean meal. Intake, weight gain, ingestive behavior, and in vitro […]

The objective of the study was to evaluate effects of microbially inoculated sunflower silage on total digestibility in ovines. Eight animals were assigned to a cross-over design, with two sub-periods (8 animals/treatment). Treatments were composed of sunflower silage (17.3% DM and 13.8% CP, on average) control or microbially inoculated with S. faecium plus L. plantarum (Pioneer 1174 product). Each experimental sub-period lasted for twenty-one days, where the last five were used for feces and urine collection. The inoculation decreased the […]
