- The study investigated the effects of substituting elephant grass silage with babassu cake in the diets of sheep at the Federal Rural University of Amazonia, using 45 sheep in a randomized design with varying percentages of babassu cake.

- The findings suggest that up to 50% of elephant grass silage can be replaced with babassu cake without affecting total eating and chewing time, which led to improved feeding and rumination efficiency.
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the partial replacement of elephant grass silage with babassu cake (Orbignya speciosa) on the carcass characteristics and meat quality of feedlot lambs. Forty-five castrated male Santa Ines sheep (19.08 ± 0.
