Effect of dietary fat source on nutrient digestibility
and rumen fermentation in sheep

The experiment was carried out on Polish Longwool Sheep wethers with rumen cannulas in a 4×4 Latin square design to determine the inﬂuence of fat source and amount in the ration on nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation. The basic ration for the control group (C) consisted of meadow hay and concentrate. For the experimental groups, this ration was supplemented with linseed (L), linseed oil (OL) and Dunafett (D). Rumen ﬂuid was taken from each animal 0; 1.5; 3.0 and 4.5 h after feeding. There was no inﬂuence of the type and amount of vegetable fat on rumen fermentation and digestibility of nutrients. There were, however, significant differences in the urine allantoin level among the groups.
