Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effects of neem leaf powder (NLP) on growing lambs' ruminal fermentation, feed intake, digestibility, and overall performance compared to monensin (MON).
- Eighteen Omani lambs were divided into three groups and fed a diet of hay and a concentrated mixture, with one group receiving a control diet, one receiving MON, and one receiving NLP over 90 days.
- Results showed that NLP reduced certain harmful ruminal compounds while improving blood protein levels and weight gain in lambs, suggesting NLP is a beneficial dietary supplement for growth without negative impacts on digestion.
