Growth performance, nutrient utilization, rumen fermentation, blood biochemistry, and carcass traits of lambs fed L. hay-based diet supplemented with yeast or bacterial direct- fed microbial.

Direct fed microbial may enhance the utilization of halophyte forages leading to improved animal growth and productivity. This study was conducted to evaluate Atriplex hay-based diet supplemented with yeast (; SC) or bacteria ( and ; BAC) on lamb growth performance, digestibility, rumen fermentation, and carcass characteristics. Fifteen Barki lambs (90 ± 7 days of age and 18.
