摘要: The effects of four different grain composition diets finishing lambs on lamb performance, dry matter (DM) digestibility, rumen fermentation and leptin mRNA expression were evaluated. Thirty-two Pelibuey (25.35 ± 4.73 kg bodyweight) used in a completely randomised experiment which fed that contained 30%, 45%, 60% or 75% (DM basis). results indicated increasing the level improved average daily weight gain, hot carcass weight, DM digestibility feed conversion linearly (P < 0.01); however, intake was not affected. Ruminal pH decreased as content increased 0.01). propionate concentration acetate declined with Leptin perirenal adipose tissue 0.05) increased. Based these results, we conclude feedlot gain efficiency; because efficiency similar at higher levels, our data suggest including rations.
