Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how changing Tifton 85 hay (TH) to Moringa hay (MH) affects sheep's eating and digestion.
- They used 5 young rams and tested their diets with different amounts of TH and MH over 85 days.
- The results showed that using MH reduced how much sheep ate and how well they digested their food, but their overall health seemed fine, and the study suggested using a bit of MH is okay for lambs.
Coat color is a factor affecting heat tolerance in tropical ruminant and a particular coat color can determine which is more resilient to environmental changes. The aim of this study was to measure the level of adaptation of Morada Nova sheep with different coat color by using an Adaptability Index (AI). Adult ewes were used, including two different coat colors of Morada Nova sheep (red and white) with mean of body weight of 28.
