Article Synopsis
- * Five castrated male lambs were used for metabolism measurements, while forty other lambs were tested for performance under a randomized block design, revealing that GLY's influence on nutrient intake and ruminal fermentation was significant but variable.
- * The results showed that replacing corn with GLY (specifically at 150 g/kg dry matter) neither negatively affected nutrient utilization nor lamb performance, suggesting it's a viable option for cost-effective feeding strategies in finishing lambs.

The objective of this study was to determine whether a combination of crude glycerin (CG) and soyabean oil (SO) could be used to partially replace maize in the diet of Nellore steers while maintaining optimum feed utilisation. Eight castrated Nellore steers fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were used in a double 4×4 Latin square design balanced for residual effects, in a factorial arrangement (A×B), when factor A corresponded to the provision of SO, and factor B to the provision of CG. Steers feed SO and CG showed similar DM intake, DM, organic matter and neutral-detergent fibre digestibility to that of steers fed diets without oil and without glycerine (P>0·05).
