Substituição do milho pela silagem de jaca em dietas para cordeiros confinados Replacement corn for jackfruit silage in diets for feedlot lambs

The objective was to evaluate the effects of replacement corn by jackfruit silage on intake, coefficient of apparent digestibility and performance in diets for feedlot confined lambs. Santa Ines crossbred castrated male lambs were used, in the completely randomized design. The replacement levels were 0. 333. 666. 1000 g kg -1 in dry matter (DM) of corn as the concentrate component. The intake DM, crude protein (CP) (g day -1 ), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in g kg -1 and g kg -1 body weight (BW) increased linearly with replacement. The intake of organic matter (OM), ethereal extract (EE), total carbohydrates (TC) and non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC) decreased linearly, while for total digestible 1
