The effect of different energy sources on the performance and blood metabolites of sheep

Abstract Energy has an important role in metabolic processes. Dietary energy sources can be the form of carbohydrates or fat. This study aimed to elaborate performance and blood metabolites ewes fed cassava, palm oil canola oil. Sixteen were divided into four groups treatments, namely T1 = 100% grass; T2 40% grass + 30% concentrate cassava; T3 50.3% 9.7% oil; T4 Randomized block design was used data analyzed using analysis variance any differences furthered tested by Duncan multiple range test. The results showed that feeding with different significantly (P<0.05) had a significant effect on feed consumption digestibility, weight gain, utilization efficiency. ration (T1) higher than other treatments. Diet cassava (T2) digestibility from treatment. cholesterol content sheep (T3 T4) given (T2). However, there no among treatment glucose protein concentration. It is concluded provision resulted better lower levels compared source
