Were evaluated sodium bicarbonate.-F1- and urea.-F2.- (two factors), each factor at two inclusion levels (F1 and F2: 0 and 1%), and its effect on intake and digestibility in rations with byproduct of the fermentative process of starches and / or molasses (mixture of yeast and unfermented material).-LD.-, sugarcane molasses and ammoniated sugar cane tops for lamb. Eight crossbred lamb (19.31±5.96 kg/lamb) was included in a 2x2 factorial in a 4x4 Latin square design. Treatments were combinations of LD (14% in T1, 13.8% for T2, T3 and T4) and molasses (26% in T1, 25.8% for T2, T3 and T4), with or without urea, and / or sodium bicarbonate to 1% w/u, and source of fiber were used 60 % of ammoniated sugar cane tops in all treatments. The supply of rations was gradually adjusted to 7% dry matter (DM) of body weight (28±8.66% rejection of the offer), digestibility was measured by total collection for seven days adaptation period preceded of seven day. Differences (p<0.01) for intake where intake had the highest T2 and T4 the lower (1239 vs 1066 gDM/animal/day) in the digestibility of organic matter (p<0.01) were found where T4 reached one 72% while the T2 was the lowest with 57.35%. The coefficients of digestibility of hemicelluloses, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber and were different (p<0.01) and were higher in the same T1. The results showed that T4 was the best treatment, urea and sodium bicarbonate can be used effectively with agro-industrial byproducts in lambs in confinement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
