Article Synopsis
- 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.
- Despite no significant difference in feeding time, using babassu cake resulted in reduced rumination time and increased idling time among the sheep.
- 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.
