| Sunphenon 30S-O is obtained from the leaves of traceable green tea (Camellia sinensis) and standardized for its catechin content (205 g/kg DM). This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementation with different concentrations of Sunphenon 30S-O on methane emissions, nutrient intake, digestibility, protozoa abundance and the concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia-N (NH3-N) in sheep. Four Corriedale wethers with an average body weight of 64.25 +/- 3.86 kg were arranged in a 4 x 4 Latin square and fed a basal diet of Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) hay at the maintenance level with four different concentrations of Sunphenon 30S-O (0, 10, 25 and 40 g/Kg DM intake). The experiment was conducted over 84 days in four 21-day... |
