The aim of this paper was to prevent weight loss in ovines grazing on native grass, by providing chopped sugar cane alone, and chopped sugar cane + urea. Secondly, to evaluate the effect of sugar cane + urea supplementation compared to chopped sugar cane alone, on performance, consumption, and food conversion, along with ingesting behavior and production costs, of ovines fed native grass in the dry season. The study included nine 10-14 month-old ovines with an initial mean weight of 21.2 ± 2 kg. The experimental period lasted 90 days. The animals were distributed in three treatments: natural grass (G3), sugar cane + urea (G1), and sugar cane + pasture (G2). Compared to pasture alone, supplementation affected consumption (P |
