Effect of copaiba oil on intake, apparent nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, nitrogen balance, and growth performance of lambs in confined conditions
Two experiments were carried out aiming to evaluate the effect of copaiba oil on growth performance, apparent digestibility of nutrients, and rumen fermentation in lambs on feedlot. The treatments were: no additive inclusion (negative control); 8 mg/kg of sodium monensin (MS; positive control); and 250, 500, and 750 mg of copaiba oil/kg dry matter added to a diet with 70% concentrate and 30% forage. In experiment I, five lambs (Dorper × Santa Inês) cannulated in the rumen, 8 ± [...]
