Diets Composed of Tifton 85 Grass Hay (Cynodon sp.) and Concentrate on the Quantitative and Qualitative Traits of Carcass and Meat from Lambs

Abstract: The high intake of fermentable carbohydrates may cause nutritional disorders and negatively affect animal performance. Thus, the research study aimed to determine the better roughage:concentrate ratio to improve the carcass traits and physicochemical quality of meat from feedlot-finished Santa Ines lambs. Diets were composed of Tifton 85 grass hay (Cynodon sp.) and concentrate (soybean meal, corn meal, urea, and mineral mixture) and consisted of five roughage:concentrate ratios of 88:12 (C12), 69:31 (C31), 50:… Show more

“…For hay production, it is recommended to use forage resources that exhibit fine stems and higher nutritional value, especially high CP content, as is the case with alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and Cynodon spp. [24,25]. However, these plants are extremely demanding in terms of soil fertility management.…”
