Optimal dietary fiber levels enhance nutrient intake and improve digestibility in feedlot lambs, supporting sustainability efforts.
Increasing neutral detergent fiber (NDF) levels positively influenced feeding behavior and rumen fermentation patterns in sheep.
The study utilized five rumen-fistulated male lambs in a Latin square design to assess the impact of dietary NDF on performance over 105 days.
Results suggest including 400 g/kg dietary NDF may enhance nutrient utilization and rumen function, with implications for feedlot management.
