Abstract

In order to provide the basis for determination of appropriate feeding standard, this experiment compared the effects of different feeding standards on nutrient apparent digestibility, energy and nitrogen metabolism of Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred meat lambs. Six hundreds Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred male lambs[(28.30±0.86) kg of body weight] were randomly assigned into 4 groups with 3 replicates in each group and 50 lambs per replicate in a single factor experimental design. The experimental diets were formulated according to the following four feeding standards:feeding standard established by our laboratory (key laboratory of feed biotechnology of the ministry of agriculture, feed research institute, Chinese academy of agricultural sciences) based on the study of nutrient requirements of Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred sheep (abbreviated to ‘CARS’), NRC (2007, USA), AFRC (1993, UK) and Feeding Standard OF Meat-Producing Sheep and Goats of Chinese agricultural industry standards (HB, NY/T 816-2004). The experiment lasted for 81 days. Four lambs in each group were selected for a digestion and metabolism trial after the lambs in CARS group reached 37 kg of average body weight, and the pretrial and trial lasted for 7 and 5 days, respectively. The results showed as follows:apparent digestibility of dry matter, organic matter and neutral detergent fiber in CARS group were significantly higher than those in AFRC and NRC groups (P<0.05), and apparent digestibility of acid detergent fiber in CARS group were significantly higher than that in NRC group (P<0.05); digestive energy, metabolizable energy, apparent digestibility of gross energy, metabolizability of gross energy, absorbed nitrogen and apparent digestibility of nitrogen in CARS group were significantly higher than those in AFRC group and NRC groups (P<0.05), but had no significant difference with those in HB group (P>0.05); retained nitrogen and utilization efficiency of nitrogen were not significantly different among all groups (P>0.05). Biological value of nitrogen in NRC group was significantly higher than that in CARS and HB groups (P<0.05). From the aspects of nutrient digestion and utilization and energy and nitrogen metabolism of Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred meat lambs, the feeding standard proposed by CARS has advantages over foreign feeding standards.
