Parkia platycephala pod meal as a total replacement for Tifton-85 hay in high-concentrate diets for lambs: ingestive behavior, physiological, and metabolic parameters
Key Points
Lambs fed parkia platycephala pod meal showed changes in ingestive behavior, impacting feed preferences.
Physiological parameters were monitored, revealing potential health effects related to diet in lambs.
High-concentrate diets utilizing pod meal resulted in altered metabolic parameters compared to traditional hay.
Research supports parkia platycephala pod meal as a viable alternative to Tifton-85 hay for lambs.
