Description
Summary:This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of tannins and cellulase on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profiles, intestinal morphology and carcass characteristics in Hu sheep. A total of 48 three-month-old meat Hu sheep (25.05 ± 0.9 kg) were blocked based on body weight, and randomly allotted to 4 treatments with 3 replicates of 4 sheep each. The experiment lasted for 80 d, and dietary treatments were as follows: (1) CON, control diet; (2) TAN, CON + 0.1% tannins; (3) CEL, CON + 0.1% cellulase; (4) TAN+ CEL, CON + 0.1% tannins and 0.1% cellulase. Compared with CON, CEL and TAN+CEL had greater (P
