Abstract

In complete randomize design twenty Naieni replacement ewe lambs were used to examine the substitution effects of treated wheat straw with fibrolytic enzyme for alfalfa hay on their performances. Five treatment diets were included: 1 control 100 alfalfa hay without wheat straw 2 10 enzyme treated wheat straw replaced for alfalfa hay 3 20 enzyme treated wheat straw replaced for alfalfa hay 4 30 enzyme treated wheat straw replaced for alfalfa hay and 5 30 untreated wheat straw replaced for alfalfa hay. Treated wheat straw with fibrolytic enzyme had no effect on body weight ADO and feed conversion ratio but it caused lower feed intake in treatments 2 and 3. Replacing untreated wheat straw for alfalfa hay caused lower feed intake body weight and ADO. Feeding untreated wheat straw for alfalfa hay tended to increase feed conversion ratio. Enzyme treated wheat straw improved ADF and NDF digestibility. Digestibility of OM CP and ADF were significantly decreased by substituting wheat straw for alfalfa hay. The results of this experiment indicated that treated wheat straw with fibrolytic enzyme can be replaced for alfalfa hay in Naieni replacement ewe lambs.
