| Popis: | The current experiment was conducted to examine the impact of a supplement of microalgae (Schizochytrium limacinum) onthe performance, rumen fermentation, and blood metabolites in lambs during summer. Forty lambs were used in a 49-day experiment.The lambs were group-fed either a basal diet (alfalfa hay and concentrate, n = 20) or the basal diet along with 5 g/day microalgae (n =20). Feed intakes were recorded daily and body weight (BW) was measured weekly. Overall, microalgae feeding increased (P < 0.05) theBW and average daily gain. There were no significant differences for average feed intake or feed efficiency (P > 0.05). Microalgae feedingdecreased rumen pH (P < 0.05) and tended to reduce proportion of acetate (P < 0.1), while it increased total rumen volatile fatty acidconcentration (8.6%; P < 0.01) and proportions of propionate (13.9%, P < 0.01) and valerate (P < 0.01; 26.5%) compared with the controlanimals. Microalgae feeding increased (P < 0.05) blood glucose (98.47 vs. 84.97 mg/dL) and insulin (64.14 vs. 29.26 ng/mL), whereasit lowered total cholesterol concentrations in blood (62 vs. 58 mg/dL, P < 0.1) compared with the control animals. The results of thisstudy indicate that microalgae supplement influences productivity and enhances dietary energy utilization in lambs during the summer. |
