Bioactive Compounds of Barbatimão (Stryphnodendron sp.) as Dietary Additive in Lamb Diets

This study aimed to evaluate barbatimão bark extracts as a feed additive and substitute for lasalocid sodium (LAS) feedlot lambs. Lambs were distributed into three treatments: LAS (0.018 g of sodium), DBB (1.500 dried milled bark), BHE (0.300 hydroalcoholic extract). There was no effect (p = 0.32) the inclusion on average daily gain. Inclusion in lamb diets reduced < 0.05) fatness score compared LAS, which similar DBB. The decreased yellowness intensity hue angle meat LAS. Animals that consumed had 0.04) total cholesterol level. Thus, use can replace diet lambs, with detrimental effects performance or metabolic parameters.
