Pelleting of a Total Mixed Ration Affects Growth Performance of Fattening Lambs [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Feeding pelleted total mixed rations (TMR) instead of traditional loose concentrate plus forage to fattening lambs is an emerging practice. This study aimed to determine the effects of feeding pelleted TMR to fattening lambs on feed intake behaviour, growth performance, feed digestion, rumen fermentation characteristics, rumen microbial community ...
