Afegir etiqueta | Sumari: | The objective was to study the effect of quality and form of voluminous diets on the feeding behavior of sheep. Six adult male Pelibuey (weigh 40-45kg) placed in metabolism cages where feeding with 4 different voluminous diets: green forage, good and bad large hay and short bad hay. In a latin square incomplete design, two control animals received a short bad hay ration to eliminate the environmental effects and the others rotated.by the different diets. Animals were feeding once a day (9 am) and disposed water ad-libitum. Feeding behavior components, its circadian distribution and mastication effort were recorded by mandibular mecanograme during 48 hours. Results evidence that green forage reduce the times of ingestion, rumination, mericique cicles and water consumption increasing rest time and DM ingestion. Lower effect produce short bad hay on the distribution of circadian feeding behavior but increase DM and water consumption. There is an inverse relation between duration of big food and quality of forage at the time that green forage and short bad hay doesn’t affect resting times. Ingestion Dairy Duration and Rumination Dairy Duration diminish in green forage while Ingestion Unitary Duration present different between forages but Rumination Unitary Duration is higher in short bad hay. Mastication effort and Roughage Dairy Rumination Index (RDRI) increases in large good hay. Results are discussed. |
