Abstract
This study aimed to establish the optimal concentration of purified Kraft lignin (PKL) in the diet of finishing lambs. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design, with four diets and LKR concentrations of 0, 6, 12, and 18 g/kg DM, with eight Poll Dorset × Texel crossbred lambs per treatment. The experiment was conducted with newly weaned lambs, aged 60 ± 10 days, with an average initial body weight of 23 ± 5 kg. The animals were [...] ABSTRACT This study aimed to establish the optimal concentration of purified Kraft lignin (PKL) in the diet of finishing lambs.
