Impact of different additives on ruminal acidosis and fermentation of lams
Keywords:
ovine, feed lot, probiotics, symbiotics, prebioticsAbstract
The objective was to evaluate the ruminal fermentation and acidosis on finishing lambs supplemented with different additives. Four ruminal cannulated lambs were used. Treatments were 1) Control (Basal diet); 2) LEV (Basal diet + Saccharomyces cerevisiae); 3) ION (Basal diet + Sodic monensin); 4) ET (Basal diet + Experimental Treatment). Diet contained at least 14% de CP and 2.962 Mcal/kg de ME. Dry matter intake (DMI) was evaluated. In ruminal fluid samples, pH, ammonia concentration (NH3), and volatile fatty acids concentration (VFA) were evaluated. Data was analyzed in a 4 x 4 latin square design. Ruminal pH, VFA concentration and acetic:propionic ratio was not different (P>0.05) among treatments. Dry matter intake was similar (P>0.05) among treatments. Ruminal pH was different (P < 0.01) among hours. Interaction treatment x hour was different (P<0.05) for NH3 concentration, acetic, propionic, butyric acids, and total VFA´s concentrations. The use of a mixture of probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotic, did not improve ruminal fermentation of finishing hair lambs.
