ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of dietary
inclusion of dry umbu pulp fruit residue (DUFR) into lamb diet. DUFR replaced
ground corn at 0, 8, 16, 24 and 32% of the total diet. To evaluate intake,
digestion, nitrogen (N) balance and ingestive behaviour, twenty-five uncastrated
male lambs (40.8 ± 4.17 kg) were randomly distributed among treatments for
21 days. To evaluate ruminal pH, ammonia N in the rumen fluid and total
protozoa abundance, five uncastrated Santa Ines male sheep (40.3 ± 3.70 kg)
were used in a 5×5 Latin square design, for 75 days. The intake of dry matter
(DM), crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN), CP and ether
extract (EE) digestibilities, ruminal ammonia N, N-intake and N-balance were
not linearly affected by the inclusion of DUFR. However, a linear increase in
neutral detergent fibre (NDFap) intake, time spent eating and ruminating, the
number of boluses chewed/day, and ruminal pH in sheep with the increase of
DUFR inclusion were observed. The intake of EE and non-fibrous carbohydrates
(NFC), digestibility of DM, NDF and TDN, time spent idling, amount (g) of DM/
bolus chewed, and protozoa count decreased linearly with dietary inclusion
of DUFR. The inclusion of up to 32% DUFR instead of ground corn stimulates
eating and rumination time, however, it is not recommended as a concentrate
feed because it reduces nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance impairing
animal performance.

日粮添加干乌姆果肉残渣 (Spondias tuberosa Arr. Cam) 对绵
羊采食量、摄食行为、消化率、氮平衡和瘤胃pH值的影响

摘要：本研究的目的是评估在羔羊日粮中添加干乌姆果肉残渣（dry umbu pulp fruit residue （DUFR）的饲喂
效果。DUFR替代玉米粉分别占总日粮的0%、8%、16%、24%和32%。为了评估采食、消化、氮（N）平衡和
摄食行为，将25只未阉割的公羔羊（40.8 ± 4.17 kg）随机分配到上述5组中进行为期21天饲喂试验。为了评
估瘤胃pH值、瘤胃液氨氮和总原生动物丰度，在5×5拉丁方设计中使用5只未接种疫苗的Santa Ines雄性绵羊
（40.3±3.70 kg）持续饲喂75天。添加DUFR对干物质（DM）、粗蛋白（CP）和总可消化营养素（TDN）、
粗蛋白和乙醚提取物（EE）的消化率、瘤胃氨氮、氮摄入量和氮平衡无线性影响。然而，随着DUFR含量
的增加，绵羊的中性洗涤纤维（NDFap）摄入量、进食和反刍时间、每天咀嚼食团数量以及瘤胃pH呈线性
增加。EE和非纤维碳水化合物（NFC）的摄入量、DM、NDF和TDN的消化率、闲逛时间、咀嚼的DM/bolus量
（g）和原生动物数量随着日粮中DUFR的增加呈线性下降。日粮添加DUFR最高剂量组（32%）可以刺激进食
和反刍时间，但由于DUFR会降低营养物质的消化率和氮平衡，从而影响动物的生产性能，故不建议将其作
为浓缩物饲料使用。
