effect of neutral detergent soluble carbohydrate source and addition roasted canola seed on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of lambs fed high concentrate diets

in order to investigate the effect of partial replacement of barley starch with beet pulp soluble fiber with or without roasted canola seed on apparent nutrient digestibility, dry matter intake, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio and rumenal ph 24 arabian male lambs were used for 84 days in a completely randomized design with a 2×2 factorial arrangement. treatments had no significant effect on the dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio, and apparent digestibility of protein and organic matter (p>0.05). high starch diets compared with high soluble fiber diets caused a significant decrease in the digestibility of dm, om, adf and ndf (p
