Blood parameters of lambs fed diets with vegetable
oil supplements

The effect of different types of dietary fat on rumen parameters was assessed on four lambs with rumen cannulae in a 4x4 Latin square design. The basie ration for the control group consisting of meadow hay and concentrate (40:60) was supplemented for the experimental groups with 5% of rapeseed, sunflower or linseed oil. Volatile fatty acids, ammonia concentration and pH in rumen fluid, and glucose, free fatty acids, cholesterol and triglycerides in blood were determined. The propionic acid level was lower (P < 0.05) in rumen fluid when 5% of rapeseed oil was added to the ration. Addition of rapeseed oil or linseed oil decreased blood glucose level.
