摘要
Three diets (hay, straw with soya cake with or without barley) were fed to 3 llamas and 3 sheep. The 2 species ingested the same quantity of hay, but llamas ingested 14% more straw (in g/kg LW). OM digestibility of straw was higher in llamas (+ 3.8 points). Mean retention time of DM was higher in llamas (32 h against 25 h for sheep). Reticulo rumen pH was more stable in llamas and also higher than in sheep. In conclusion the ability of llamas to use low quality roughage seems to be more efficient than that of sheep.
