Abstract
Six wethers averaging 37 kg were used in a double 3 × 3 latin square design to evaluate poultry wastes as a feedstuff; small silos were used to measure the ensiling characteristics of these diets. Poultry excreta (CLE) were treated with tannic acid (3%) or paraformaldehyde (2%) and incorporated at a level of approximately 64% (wet weight) into test diets for sheep. Soybean meal and water replaced this material in the control diet. Dry matter and water intake of the CLE diet treated with 2% paraformaldehyde was lower (P < 0.05) than that of the other two diets. Dry matter, total N and energy digestibilities were decreased (P < 0.05) in diets containing CLE. Nitrogen retained as a percent of total N intake was not different for the control and the CLE tannic-acid-treated diets. The ensiling characteristics were not adversely affected by CLE.
