Extract

The roughage supplementation with some industrial by-products is an alternative on feed management. The great number of brewery in Brazil and the wet brewers’ grain nutritional value are an attractive possibility for use in sheep diets, mainly for its availability during the year and its fibre quality. The inclusion of this feed in high proportions on sheep diets could modify rumen environment. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the modifications on rumen environment caused by addition of brewers’ grain silage as fibre source on sheep diets.
