ABSTRACT
The effects of linseed-based diets for sheep on nutrient digestibility, N retention and some parameters
in blood serum and rumen fluid were studied. Linseed-based diets contained more fat (%) and different
farty acid profiles. Inclusion of linseed increased crude fat digestibility from 68 to 80% (P < 0.05), without
significant effects on digestibility of other nutrients and N retention. Statistically significant differences
(P < 0.05) were found in the total cholesterol, triacylglyceride and total lipid contents in blood serum, and
in the ammonia content of rumen fluid. The 10% addition of linseed to concentrate caused a decrease in
VFA (P < 0.05) in the rumen fluid.
