ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of
dietary inclusion of Tongmai granule residue (TGR) on growth performance,
nutrient digestibility, blood biochemical parameters and rumen fermentation
in sheep. Twenty-four healthy Doper × Small Tail Han hybrid female lambs
(6–7 months of age; 29.64 ± 1.80 kg initial body weight) were randomly allocated
into 3 groups and fed diets to which 0, 10 and 15% TGR were added for
75 days. It was shown that TGR dietary inclusion at the level of 15% decreased
growth performance, neutral detergent fibre apparent digestibility, rumen contents
of acetic, propionic, butyric acids and total volatile fatty acids (P < 0.05),
but increased crude fat and organic matter (OM) apparent digestibilities, serum
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, immunoglobulin (Ig)A, IgG, IgM, rumen pH,
NH3-N concentration and acetic:propionic acid ratio in lambs (P < 0.05). In the
10% TGR group, OM apparent digestibility and IgA also increased (P < 0.05),
however, no negative effects on average daily weight gain, rumen pH, NH3-N,
volatile fatty acids concentration and blood biochemical parameters were observed.
So, it is suggested that TGR could be used as a feed source in sheep
production, and 10% TGR inclusion is the most suitable dose.
