Linseed-based diets for sheep. 1. Nutrient
digestibility, N retention and rumen fermentation

The effects of linseed-based diets for sheep on nutrient digestibility, N retention and some parameters in blood serum and rumen fluid were studied. Linseed-based diets contained more fat (%) and different farty acid profiles. Inclusion of linseed increased crude fat digestibility from 68 to 80% (P < 0.05), without significant effects on digestibility of other nutrients and N retention. Statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) were found in the total cholesterol, triacylglyceride and total lipid contents in blood serum, and in the ammonia content of rumen fluid. The 10% addition of linseed to concentrate caused a decrease in VFA (P < 0.05) in the rumen fluid.
