Popis: Nine DLS rumen-cannulated wethers (69 kg avg BW) were used to study the effects of dietary supplementation with two types of fermented, ammoniated, condensed whey permeate on performance, rumen physiology and acid-base status in sheep fed high-grain diets. Sheep were fed three isonitrogenous (16% CP) diets according to a triple 3 × 3 Latin square design, with three 21-d periods each. One whey permeate contained ammonium lactate (AL) while the other contained ammonium propionate (AP). Urea was used as a source of NPN in the control diet (C). Diets, offered ad libitum, contained 78% barley and 18% dehydrated alfalfa meal. Dry matter and digestible energy intakes were about 15% higher for diets AL and AP than for diet C (P
