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.
