Effects of supplementation of rumen protected fats on rumen ecology and digestibility of nutrients in sheep

Rumen protected fats (RPF) are known to improve animal performance without affecting rumen metabolism in sheep. However, comparative effects of prilled fat, prilled fat with lecithin and calcium soap have not been fully studied. Hence this experiment was planned using 36 male Dorper sheep in a compl...

description Rumen protected fats (RPF) are known to improve animal performance without affecting rumen metabolism in sheep.
