摘要
To determine the effect of supplementation on voluntary intake and digestibility of rhodes grass hay by sheep, 200 g of Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena) either with or without urea or sucrose was fed for four periods of 15 days. During the last five days, digestibility was determined by total collection. There was no effect of supplementation on hay intake or total intake. Nitrogen digestibility was improved by supplementation with leucaena and urea. However, N balance was improved by leucaena supplementation, and addition of urea further improved this parameter. In contrast, supplementation with leucaena plus sucrose depressed the digestibility of NDF compared to the control and leucaena supplemented diet.
