Özet

The effects of the supplementation of yeast, molasses and barley to barley straw diets on the dry matter intake, digestibility and ruminal fermentation in sheer were investigated. Ten male merino sheep were used in a changeover design trial of five 30-day periods. Baker's yeast (50 g/kg straw), molasses (100 g/kg straw) and barley grain (100 g/kg straw) were given either separately or in combination a supplements to barley straw. When urea (to meet the requirements for rumen degradable N) and vitamin-mineral premixes were mixed thoroughly with barley straw, the use of moderate levels of baker's yeast, molasses, barley grain or a mixture of them increased the total dry matter and crude protein intake, but did not affect; either the digestibilities of dry matter and organic matter of diets or the rumen parameters in sheep.
