Extrused soybean hull as a replacement of corn silage: nutritional, biochemical parameters, ingestive behavior of sheep
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of extruded soybean hulls replacing corn silage. Twenty sheep of the Santa Inês breed were used, with 10 animals for each diet, with an average weight of 57.00kg and an average age of three years. The treatments consisted of extruded roughage an...

| Sumario: | The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of extruded soybean hulls replacing corn silage. Twenty sheep of the Santa Inês breed were used, with 10 animals for each diet, with an average weight of 57.00kg and an average age of three years. The treatments consisted of extruded roughage and corn silage. There was an evaluation of con- sumption, digestibility, ingestive behavior and blood metabolites. A completely randomized design was used. There was a higher dry matter intake (DMI) for animals fed with extruded roughage. There were statistical differences for variables related to water intake, fecal and urinary parameters, ingestive behavior, blood glucose and blood protein and energy metabolites. Time spent chewing and ruminating increased with the addition of corn silage. It is conclu- ded that the replacement of corn silage by extruded bulk can be performed without causing any deleterious effects to adult sheep. |
