Sažetak
The objective of the experiment was to examine the effect of corn grain (CG) supplementation to alfalfa haylage (Medicago sativa L.) (AH) on feed ad libitum intake and in vivo digestibility in wether sheep. The study consisted of three feeding treatments incorporating AH only and AH supplemented with 5 or 10 g CG d-1kg-1 body weight of Suffolk wethers. Inclusion of CG in the AH based ration had positive linear and positive associative effect on ad libitum intake. Also a positive linear effect was recorded for the digestibility of DM (P<0.05) and OM (P<0.05) while a negative for ADF digestibility (P<0.01).
