| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The effects of glycerol which is supplied from different
production methods resulting in different purity were
investigated on fattening lambs on nutrition performance.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> In the experiment, 32 of weaned
Akkaraman Kangal male lambs, five months of age, were
used in 4 groups, 8 animals each, formed as control, pure
glycerol, and two various methanol acquired crude glycerol
(4.14 and 9.80% methanol) groups. Experiment was continued
11 weeks including 1 week adaptation and 10 weeks
experimental.<p>
<b>Results:</b> No significant difference was observed in terms
of live weight (p>0.05). When daily live weight gains were
compared, only in 56-70 days the crude glycerol group
showed significance (p<0.05). There were no differences
between groups in total feed consumption, but concentrate
and roughage utilization rate were found better in 56-70
day, in the crude glycerol groups (p<0.05).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> It could be suggested that supplementation of
lamb diets with up to 2.5% of glycerol when it was economic.
Also, further evaluations are needed to determine the effect
of higher levels of glycerol. |
