Carcass characteristics of sheep fed high moisture corn silage with or without whole sunflower or urea finished in feedlot

摘要

High moisture corn silage (HMCS) shows advantage in terms of nutrition because of an increased feed efficiency.However, high moisture corn silage may have an improvement for energy and protein values.Jobim et al.(2002) verified an increase in quality of high moisture corn silage by inclusion of whole soybean.This study was carried out to evaluate effects of concentrates in addition to high moisture corn silage alone or with whole sunflower or urea in diets for sheep on weight gain and carcass yield.
